what's your opinion of danny carey? what kind of drumming do you do?
I guess op left his own thread. Oh well

how long has it been since you got some puss
>>702750841
Too long
>>702750593
Thanks
>>702750745
Yea
>>702750808
I was waiting for questions to roll in
>>702750748
He's great, I wanna learn some Tool. I like playing mostly rock, grunge, punk, alternative, and some random music in there too.
>>702750387
Go to bed Grant.
Who is your favorite drummer, and also who do you consider the most talented percussionist?
>>702751855
I think my favorite drummer is probably Joey Jordison just because I grew up listening to Slipknot and he was always a big inspiration. I think overall the most talented drummer in my eyes is Neil Peart, but that's all my opinion, I'm not saying he IS, just in my eyes as a drummer he is.
>>702751805
My name isn't Grant.
I clap on 1 and 3. How does that make you feel?
>>702750387
Are you fat?
>>702752228
Hey man, everyone has their own style and rhythm.
thats weird
>>702752270
Yea I guess you could say I'm fat, but I've been trying to lose some pounds.
>>702752075
What a fag
>>702752075
Same fag.... Slipknot is a great band.. while i'm not entirely into that form/genre, i respect going with what you love.. and even better... you picked Neil Peart.. whom I also list as my top drummer. That carousel drum set he played just put him over the top.
>>702752453
Hey man, everyone has their own opinion on favorite/best drummer. I wouldn't disagree with your opinion just cause we're 2 different people and have different music influences.
>>702752075
Eww, Peart?
Listen to some Meg White, or Travis Barker. Those are real drummers
>>702752464
Thanks man, I've always loved Slipknot and whenever I say they're my favorite band I always wait to get bashed with "edgy" and shit. It really impresses me that Neil Peart still plays at this age and can play well despite his shoulder and wrist problems I've heard about.
>>702752801
bad troll is bad
>>702752801
I like Travis Barker as a drummer but never really got into Blink 182. I actually use his artist series zildjian 5B sticks and love them.
hello
>>702753008
Nice meme
What is your favorite drummer joke?
>>702752569
I remember when I was 14...
>>702752801
Meg White... Kek
Some of the best drummers are these studio guys that play on pop songs and R&B shit. Not dudes like Joey Jordison. Peart is fine but anybody who plays progressive rock like that always has the freedom to just go crazy so people think they are better than they are.
Always been a fan of Stanton Moore just because of his creativity.
>>702752806
Be proud of what you love! "Wait and Bleed" (granted, it's probably a corny song for true fans) stays in my rotation despite not being one of my favorite bands/genres.
Neil Peart kills everything. and his fills are ridiculous.
I'm getting drums for Christmas and I'm teaching myself to play. I know rhythms and things such as that I've played many instruments. Are there any bad habits I should try to avoid?
>>702753147
I totally agree with this man, I don't really listen to R&B that much so I don't know much about the drummers behind the beats but they are great musicians that deserve more publicity for their work.
>>702753295
From day one, always practice with a metronome.
Also, always use earplugs. You'll thank yourself later.
Also, grab a book and start going through rudiments. It doesn't sound fun, but you need to have the building blocks in place before you can become the next Benny Greb
>>702753295
Don't use arm, it's all in the wrist. Also look up good practice techniques and proper sticking.
>>702753295
Also let it be said that my current favorite drummer is Josh dun because of his clear enthusiasm and playstyle
>>702753485
This.. While I'm not a drummer.. I spent a significant amount of time behind crew-serve weapons... and ear plugs will save you so much... please do this.
>>702753485
>>702753515
Also thank you because I haven't found any good tips for bad habits starting out.
How does it feel when your bands singer and guitarist get áll the girls.
>>702753948
Funny you say that, currently my friends and I are making a band and they are actually learning bass and guitar while I have played drums for 8 years. But my bass friend has had a share of girlfriends. Guitar friend doesn't see need for them. I've been talking to a girl for a while and she plays guitar and is joining us now.
>>702753295
Get down on some lessons in the beginning. It will at least teach you the basics. I took lessons for like a year and a half when I started and I wish I did it longer.
But I'm lazy with the drums anyway. Much more fun playing with a band than by yourself.
Hi
Just came here to say you should listen to the drum solo in Steely Dan's "Aja" by Steve Gadd. It was improvised and the drum parts you hear throughout the songs were done in 2 takes.
How does it feel to know a machine can be used to replace you?
>inb4 can't do everything, it can.
>inb4 they don't sound as real, nobody knows or cares other than drummers
>>702754118
Looks like your band is going to sound quite terrible :(
>>702754323
That could be said about any instrument pretty much.
Even rappers need a drum kit on tour for show. So it's ok.
>>702754323
Feels bad knowing that you can replace someone's talent with a machine that just does all the sounds. I guess people would rather have a machine than someone who loves doing what they do.
>>702754509
Well any band that has 2 members that are just starting to learn their instruments will be bad at the beginning. Just because they are just learning doesn't mean they will suck forever. Everyone needs to start somewhere man.
Where are you from OP?
>>702754747
Wisconsin
>>702750387
Hi what do you play op?
>>702755498
Banjo
>>702750387
Do you actually play the drums? or do you play in a shit band
>>702755711
No I've played drums for 8 years. Just recently 2 of my friends got their first guitar and bass and have been learning how to play.
>>702755711
Also play percussion.
How'd ya start playing OP?
>>702756512
That's a good question. I can never truly answer because I never know. I auditioned for percussion in 5th grade for middle school band and played through high school. My cousin give me pieces of 2 drum sets in sophomore year and I played on that and practiced. I also joined pep band and played drums in that. I guess I saw interest in drums around 4th grade cause I thought it was reall interesting.
>>702756760
Man I miss playing in the band in middle/high school
What kinda band are you and your friends making?
Hey OP, do you like my guitar playing and mouthdrumming?
http://vocaroo.com/i/s08ZJqLM6zUZ
>>702756906
We all have the same interest in music which is a mix of rock, punk, grunge, alternative, that sort of stuff. The girl I've been talking to who is joining likes a lot of 70s stuff like Pink Floyd and stuff like MGMT and The Velvet Underground, but she likes punk and stuff too. We're gonna start out doing covers and then write our own music, so hopefully we take off and end up getting gigs.
>>702757125
Yea man! That's really cool!
>>702750387
Have you seen those 3 hammer kick drum pedals?
>>702757983
I feel like I know what you're talking about and have heard of it but I don't think I've ever actually seen it. If you have a video link or anything reply with it so I can see it.
>>702750387
what size sticks do you use?
I use 7 A myself
>>702758105
http://youtu.be/i70BF8fgUEQ
>>702758379
When I got my drum set pieces from my cousin he gave me a bunch of sticks which are all Travid Barker Artist Series Avedis Zildjian 5As and I love them. Good weight and length, had a pair last for 3 years before one split after the amount of splintering.
>>702758398
I actually have seen this video! I forgot all about this, thanks for posting the link!
>>702757258
Sounds good man
You guys have a YouTube channel or a name or anything I can follow?
>>702758614
I used to ude 5 A but I ended up finding 7 A more compfortable.
Also, any tips on how to "get good"
Can you drum this OP?
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1aOXhFOqAdF
>>702758724
No YouTube yet, our band name is gonna be Guunn, just Gun but with 2 u's and 2 n's. I can add you on snapchat or follow you on Twitter or something so you can stay in touch my dude.
>>702758787
If I listened to it enough and practices enough I feel like I may be able to. You're really good man!
>>702758759
I actually meant to say 5Bs, whoops. I'll have to try 7As sometime. My tips are to always use wrist, practice anything difficult slowly then work up in tempo. Practice whenever you can, learn practice drills like paradiddles and such. Also use a metronome for anything difficult.
Rush is a pretty sweet band overall so Peart has a cool spotlight with all of those percussion instruments. However, I've been really getting into Jojo Mayer and Benny Greb. Their techniques are very useful in creative and strict styles. Right now I'm practicing finger techniques to really speed up those single strokes. Also, check Mike Johnston!
>>702758889
It's not something i really do ...
I'm a vocalist in a metalband though xD..
>>702759081
I screenshotted this so I can look up all of them. Thanks for sharing man!
>>702759112
Oh cool! You got a Twitter or snapchat? It'd be cool to keep in touch!

I envy you bruh. I was the bassist for a little garage band a few friends and I made one summer in highschool. We jammed to Rush, Nirvana, Black Keys, Silversun Pickups, Foo Fighters, anything I could quickly pick up on Songsterr since the guitarist and drummer were like legit masters.
It was crazy, we each had girlfriends that would chill upstairs in my garage and listen to us play. We all loved the same music and we got to play play since my mom was storing her friend's drumming equipment in our garage while they were moving.
Hold onto what you have man, that's fucking awesome.
>My questions
Do you play any other percussion instruments and do you plan to pursue an education in music?
>>702759216
I've got neither :(...
>>702759061
thanks
>>702759257
That's awesome! Currently I'm a senior in high school and I'm still in band lol. I can play mallets, crash cymbals, suspended cymbal, various drums, timpani, basically most percussion instruments. I either wanna go to school for art or be a drummer in a band.
>>702759280
Damn, well if you have any suggestions throw them out!
Another drummer here. Started playing when I was 12 now I'm 35. Currently use Roland V drum kit and absolutely love it. Play mostly metal, but enjoy a lot of other stuff also. Big fan of Danny Carrey, Thomas Haake, Tony Royster Jr.
>>702759547
Those are all great drummers dude. Glad to see someone older still rocking on and enjoying what they love
>>702759459
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG8fugqFn9Q
Brilliant. Well listen, I'm almost finishing up my associates for a theatre. College and life outside of highschool can be very, very challenging. So I don't know if you know but if you find yourself in a musical pickle just go to any music store and ask around about bulletin boards for bands. Bands and musicians in need of members will make posters and post them up, I just found out about this not too long ago.
Get in good with any professors or teachers that you can and if you can get yourself any auditions for scholarships you need to take them. And own your education. The stuff is completely worth it.
>>702759905
Thanks man, really appreciate you looking out for musicians. Don't really think the band thing will fall through but everyone except the bassist seems committed. I'd rather not be a starving, abstract artist lol, but we'll see where I go.
>>702759741
Heh yea I don't play as much as a would like to (married, job, house, blah blah) but Ive done the whole band, playing gigs and parties. Always fun to jam out when I can. I'm happy to see how far electronic kits have come, always been a fan since I can remember but they never felt the same as real drum heads. Roland nailed it with there V drums though. Now I don't have to annoy the neighborhood if I don't want to.
Forgot to give mention to the Rev. That dude came up with some amazing beats and fills. One of the greats for sure.
OP HERE, if any of you would like to continue talking about music and drums my Instagram is __spicer, my Twitter is __spicer, and my snapchat is JasonRHS.
>>702760438
I get you, part of me wants an electric drumset just for less noise but a good one that replicates the feel of a drumhead would probably be loads of money.
>>702760124
You'll probably have to browse a little, or give it some time. A lot of bands like to play at bars so there's typically an age requirement.
And always have a plan to keep your drums somewhere if you ever need to move.
I had this friend who spent his entire life since infancy playing drums since his father was a marching band and band instructor. But the friend of mine never mentioned once playing in a rock band despite his amazing fucking musical taste. He would go into a fucking trance just diddling away on those drum pads, staring at his ceiling.
You drummers can be fucking weird man.
Do you ever listen or play along to blues and jazz, or any other foreign style?
>>702760677
I got about $2k into it. That includes a DW3000 double kick and ROC n SOC throne. Not to bad all in all.
>>702750387
Du you zuck da benis?
>>702760821
Yea, we're all still 17 and wouldn't be able to play at bars most likely. I have some friends that are in a band and have gotten big playing at various places. Madison, Wisconsin is a big music city and I live close so we could find opportunities there probably. My friends think it's funny when I play cause I just stare into space but still playing stuff like Basket Case or Show Me How To Live or Killing In The Name. I enjoy listening to blues and jazz but was never into playing it. I tried jazz band one year and didn't enjoy it. We play Rock in pep band and it's great. Otherwise I don't really play any other foreign style.
>>702761196
no i punch dee puuzi
do you think that Travis Barker is a one of the best drummers out there?
>>702761313
You wish, fucker.
Also nice 1313
>>702761079
That's pretty decent, I'm just a high school student and got my first job last month, doing part time at Walgreens so that would be a few pay checks before I could get one if I wanted to. I'm focusing on new cymbals currently.
>>702761399

Never limit yourself, Drummer Anon.
Push the boundaries and define the unusual with abstractions and obscurities. Fuck the norm.
>>702761397
He's pretty good, but since I've never been into the stuff he does I wouldn't rank him in MY top 5, just cause he isn't someone who inspired me. But he is an impressive drummer nonetheless.
>>702761522

Are triggers cheating?
Vid unrelated, I just like Gene
>>702761397
Nice, don't skimp on cymbals. All you really need are hats, crash and ride. Zildjian are my preferred choice. Don't waste money on boom stands right now either. Try to find something used to get you by. Imo.
>>702761467
>>702761921
Wrong reply
>>702761911
Nah, is distortion on a guitar to make it sound phatter cheating? As long as the trigger kicks aren't quantized or some shit like that, i wouldn't call it cheating.
>>702761911
No, it's not cheating. Don't listen to these guys who say otherwise.

Maybe I can email you some samples someday. I'm turning into that aforementioned 'abstract artist'.
Can I avoid buying a drum set by using buckets and piezo triggers? I'm broke and all I need to buy is a kick pedal
>>702761921
When my cousin gave me the drumset I got a 20" zildjian crash, now has a peice missing and cracking at bell (top priority right now), highhat is zildjian as well, 14", ride is zildjian A sweet ride, will never die and love that thing, the regular old Zildjian oriental China, has 3 pieces missing and gonna get a new one, a 19" crash with tons of cracks in it, keeping it on my kit just cause I like the trashy sound.
>>702762237
Man all you really need are sticks. Anything can be a drummer if you try.
>>702762372
*drumset
>>702762237
Not OP here, but i can drum as good as any drummer i know, just because i can't sit still and i always drum on my legs, tables, etc. Honestly you could learn how to drum with nothing at all.
>>702762296
Perfect, beat the shit out of them man. \m/
>>702762437
Is it true that all drummers are ADHD? it seems like a good outlet for that type of energy.
>>702762745
OP here, I know I don't, but I cannot sit still at all and always am drumming on something.
>>702762745
Not all are but it can only help :)
>>702762437
OP here, my cousin gave me a floor tom, a tom, and a bass drum and that was it in the beginning, I had a snare from a set we had to buy for school to practice. I played on those toms and a snare from 4th grade to sophomore year until he gave me the other pieces. I'm a fairly good drummer, so I guess no, you don't need a real drumset to be a great drummer.>>702762237
>>702762229
Do you say artist as a musician or actual artist?
>>702762237
>>702762437
YouTube street drummers. People you've never heard of absolutely killing it on buckets and other shit they found. True talent.
I play percussion but i suck at drumset and work at a music store, Got any questions?
>>702763585
Do you wanna play drumset better or just practice percussion more?
>>702763292
Anything liberal artsy you could say. I'm into art because I never got the chance as a kid and now I'm presented with all these amazing opportunities and doors to new worlds.
But theatre is probably my favorite.
>>702763778
Nice, I'll do a quick spam of the abstract art I've made in the last month. I've been into art as much as music and have recently started drawing more.
>>702764061
This is OP by the way. These are all done on sharpie incase anyone was wondering.
>>702763732
I definitely wish i was better but my older brother is an amazing drummer already with a lot of equipment and when him, my dad and i jam im always on piano because were both stronger on those instruments than the other. Also i live in an upstairs apartment and dont want to be an asshole with a drumset lol
>>702763585
Can you count to 4? Perfect. You have the potential to play the drumset.
1 high hat + bass drum
2 high hat
3 high hat + snare drum
4 high hat
Do this until you don't have to think about it.
>>702764280
Last one that I made 2 days ago.

Can I message you on YouTube?
>>702764364
Probably because you've practiceed on those more. Just takes time, dedication and always try to push yourself to be better. Fuck, just doing rolls on a snare (though boring and annoying to everyone in the house) will make you better.
>>702764636
If you're gonna message me on YouTube them I'll follow you on the accounts I use for YouTube, not the one I followed you on before. But yes you can.

How can you tell the drum riser on stage is level?
>>702766531
I never played them that much, I'm actually really good at guitar on Guitar Hero, I have 1-3 on the original block PS2. I feel like they could be better but they did an okay job for just playing a fun game.
>>702766156
I don't know how to give you assurance, but I could play Longview and Schism while blindfolded. And I can play bass with my dick.
So I'm not totally useless.
I don't have any fucking pictures of me playing bass though. I'm kinda disappointed.
>>702766549
lol are you copy pasta too, drool from both sides of mouth?
>>702766531
Honesty it works better than the other instruments. Helps with timing.
>>702766699
You got it! No copy paste though. I just don't know a lot of drummer jokes.
>>702750387
Can you play a circular drum set like Neil Peart?
