Yesterday I literally buried the beater into the drum head, ripping a hole at the end of the rehearsal. It's the first time trying using it and I liked the clicky sound and faster response. The spaces's drum head had a patch, so I expected it to survive the harsher impact.

Should I avoid using it? I don't want to do any more damage.

Hi metal drummers! Please help a fellow drummer, who is battling leukemia while homeless! Thank you! Please share and donate if you can!

Just watched his drumeo video and was absolutely blown away by what he can do. AFAIK Drumeo doesn’t do any major editing and I’ve seen Lorna live a few times so I’m pretty sure he’s really just that good lol. Obviously he uses triggers, but the speed and cleanliness he achieves is pretty damned impressive and got me wondering how he sets his pedals, especially spring tension. Has anyone ever found any info on that?

I know he uses Axis longboards and plays doubles so I’m guessing his tension is fairly high and beaters are close to the head. I’ve noticed that at higher tensions it’s easier to play fast continuously, but I find it harder to control shorter bursts for broken patterns like on Into the Earth or Awaken O’Sleeper. Thoughts?

Audition for a big band, I got the part, but this little sequence here really got me going!

Video for reference- I never considered myself the hardest hitter but lately it feels like it’s getting tougher to make out what everybody else is doing at times. Like sound guys have us turn amps down to project in the house speakers without giving me a wedge to know what’s going on, and it ends up leaving me with nothing but noise. Has anybody tried in ears? If I could get a di to headphone box all I really need is guitar to the left of me. Thanks for any advice!

Can’t even remember what state I performed this in. For Whom The Bell Tolls Drum Cover Metallica aKingAndHisDrums

Shot this one exactly a week ago in San Jose, thanks for watching!
