RE: Monday Drum Day: Beating the Beat

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

The bass kick is something I always find miraculous when drummers keep doing a fast beat and even double kicks. How do they not get tired??? :) That floor tom idea was very good. I was wondering if it would help to use a thicker stick, like a soft mallet on it to make it give an even bigger bass sound? I don't know how it would sound honestly, just visually it look like it might make it more bassy :D

Good you did it though. I am slowly coming around to the idea of "perfection is the enemy of done" :)

With respect to your ear monitors, maybe you should go the Keith Moon route and stick multicolored tape around the monitor and your ear to keep it in place :)

Keep rocking, punk :D Respect!

I've not looked into double kick drum pedals yet. I get to see what other people have done for this song and there was a mix of some doing the original bass and others did the floor tom like me. My tom is smaller than usual, so may lack tone. I have some mallets that are good for cymbals.

I think some people put ear defenders over their in-ears, so I may look at that. I want to preserve my hearing and drums are just LOUD!
