Hello forum!
I wanted to share with you a video review I did of HEARTBEAT Cymbals by HEARTBEAT Percussion. Here, I’m demoing cymbals from their Studio, Raw and “Holey” series. Enjoy!

As far as IEM’s, I use the Shure se215’s. They’re great for the price. (I can’t afford anything more expensive anyway, so these are doubly great!

Hello Ryan,
To get started with YouTube covers you really only need a small, simple setup. More importantly though, you need to be able to perform the songs well. So make sure you’ve rehearsed and...

Hey!
Glad I could help. If the DW’s are working for you, and they help you execute some techniques, then they’re the right pedal for you. (Especially considering the cost!) In that regards, kudos...

Hello forum!
A short while ago I released my first original track in a long time - ”O W A”. It’s my take on the 80’s / Synthwave / Retrowave genre that’s become popular once again. Think - Carpenter...

Hello forum!
If you happen to live in, or near the Rochester, NY area - and have some free time this Sunday evening - then I'd like to invite you to my next performance!

Please do!

Hello OfXaos,
I transitioned from an Eliminator double pedal to a Demon Drive double pedal (P3002D) back when the Demon Drives first came out. There was definitely a bit of a learning curve as far...

Thank you, Sir! I appreciate you checking it out. That's a 16" Holey China from Heartbeat Percussion. It provides a nice contrast to my darker, 20" Raw China (also Heartbeat) on my right. In case...

Greetings DGR Drummer!
As far as I understand, if you're looking to "grow" the channel and get more exposure, there's a few ways to do it. Essentially you want to promote yourself as you would a...

I may be late to the party, given when this was posted, but I’d like to provide my 2¢.
I can’t say what would work best as far as Shure’s go, but I’ve had great results with an Audio Technica 2035!...

Thanks for sharing! I got the Focusrite Clarett 4Pre some time ago, but had wondered how it would sound compared to the Audient iD44. This has helped to answer that. Much appreciated!

Good afternoon,
With that budget I’m sure you could some pretty good quality mics. If you’re looking to spend just about that full amount, then go with two Lewitt 240 PRO mics. However, if you’re...

Since you rehearse at your gigging locations with in-ears, I’d recommend doing the same at home. That way you’re always practicing closest to what your setup will be live. That said, with either type...

Hey, thanks so much Eric! I appreciate you checking it out.

The main difference has to do with how the rims are cast, and their thickness. Die cast hoops are thicker and are cast in a mold that’s already in the proper shape. Flanged hoops of any kind are...

The screws themselves seem generic, so you should be able to find them pretty easy. As for the actual lug, I can’t say that you could find that EXACT one, but probably something close.

I’d...

In addition to everything mentioned above, a bit of gaffer tape would work too.

Looks like I missed the debut by two years. Congrats regardless! A debut album is always something to be proud of, and excited for. Good job!

Learned piano and various instruments in school band as a kid. However, I didn’t start with the drums until 2001. By then I already had a good sense of rhythm, some basic theory, and a general...

It's been quite a while since I was last active in this fantastic community, but I'm happy to be back! :cool:

Hello everyone!
I wish to share, via this medium, my latest drum tribute/cover. Here, I'm taking on Tesseract's "Of Matter: Retrospect" and "Resist." I had previously covered the first piece,...

Hey everyone,
I'm in need of some guidance. I finally have my home studio up and running, yet am having trouble with MIDI once again in Logic Pro 9. My problem is pretty simple on the surface, I...

Indeed! Galdy is one of the best guys down here for photography.

Cruising time is great, and so much fun to play. That heavy riff on the 8th string has so much attitude behind it. I can't help but make heavy metal faces when we get there.

Also, the breakdown at...
