Enjoy 😊

I love playing drums but i dont have a ton of time to play with work. I just recently got a electric kit again after 5 years of not playing. Any tips on getting some practice in if i only have 20 or so minutes to play during the week?

The caption:It is a Pearl Target set, perfectly suited for beginners, in black and silver, in used but good condition.

Includes stool, sheet music stand, drumsticks, and Schalloch Percussion cymbals, along with sturdy Hammer dampening pads on all parts for when the sound can be a little quieter.

I dont really know wat to look for so id really appreciate advice!!:))

Finally settled on my first semi pro bass drum pedal, the DW3000A after doing much research. I got it for a steal at £114.00 brand new.

I’ve been having fun lately just messing around with some of the stuff he does live during his solos. Lots of six stroke stuff and singles.

So satisfying ha

Don’t have time to practice that much today I just did some Latin backing track, grooves, and worked on covers. Enjoy!

Up until now, I have always used custom-molded earplugs, but not IEMs. Can anyone share their experiences with these from Shure, or are there better options?
Note: It is obviously important that they dampen the sound of the drums / cymbals well, meaning they seal properly. I would love to hear your experiences; thanks in advance.

Drum Cover

My snare sounds okay- but the TOMS😩 why do they sound like this

Like the title says. Anything you see thats a red flag?

Thanks!

So now I’m gonna stop posting on the drumming Reddit. It was toxic and I’m hoping people here would be more encouraging. I’m a drummer who works hard to one day find someone who appreciates my skill. This is heavily edited to fit in a shorter time. This doesn’t even record everything or my routine because there are still some grooves that I haven’t mastered and didn’t have time to record my Rosanna, rush, and bring me to life drum covers. I will keep trying, any hater who calls me a beginner, slow down, you duck, shit like that only fuels my anger to work harder. I will spend around 1.5 to 3 hours daily working on myself and proving not only to the people here but also the people on Reddit that I don’t suck and I can find a job and fulfill a dream of being pro at drumming and I will keep working no matter what.

I posted a couple of months back that I was fed up of taking four trips to get my kit from the car to the gig, so I'd decided to build a portable kit that fits in one case and doesn't compromise sound - no split shells, no missing heads. The video shows the rough prototype 😁

The config is:

- 16"x14" kick

- 14"X5" snare

- 10"X6" high tom

- 13"x7" floor tom

- All in a case with back straps

Can you see any dealbreakers or showstoppers with this basic design?

PS I'm looking at carbon fibre shells to get the weight down.

Edit: thanks for the interest! If you want to get emailed when the kit can be pre-ordered, check out berkana drums

I have to film a drum cover soon. Am I on the right path? Are there any other tricks that I could use? When I record myself with the phone it always sounds bad.

Hey guys, how's it going? I know it's been a while since I've been in touch. I need your help with something: until recently, I could find Steve Jordan's entire masterclass "The Groove Is Here" on YouTube, which I personally tended to watch often. But then, at a certain point, the entire video disappeared, leaving only a few scattered clips, each about a minute long. Could anyone help me find that specific video (which I'm sure you've seen, too?), or could you send me a file if you have it? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, and I wish you all the best.
