@@kaidensawyer09 Hey man!! Miss you too, actually thought about the other day! Hope you’re still playing! If I can ever help let me know. I am still teaching, just a more selective roster…

@@kirillsuvorov5420 Thank you very much! I hope to have more coming soon! Thanks for watching and for the sub!

Well, in this song there isn't any crashes. I only use what is needed for the song. What ever kit I have set up in the studio just stays set up as to be ready for anything that will come my way. Thanks for watching!

Yo! If this is Luke…I need you to text me. My number is the same.

@@4Chords1Capo I’ve tried to find you, there is something you need to know. For real. If you don’t have my number email here or my website. Brandonfaulkner.net.

Thank you! Thank you for watching!

I haven't used those so I can't say anything to their sound. But, I know Vic Firth has a good set of over the ear isolating ear phones. I would say if you are getting resonance inside the phone, that's not going to be good. I would say put ear plugs in as well. The constant resonating is what will cause the hearing loss. but, anything will help some...I use to use ripped up bar napkins when I didn't have plugs, they weren't great but helped some at the time.Here is a link to the new phones from Vic Firth, vicfirth.com/products/vic-firth-bluetooth-isolation-headphones I have heard really good things and that they are with the money. I believe you can still find their old "muffs" as well. Thank you for stopping by and watching!

@@brandonfaulknermusic Thank you.

@@Six3rdy You are very welcome!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Yep, he is still making great music! as a matter of fact he has a new record done, I don't know if there is a release date yet though. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! I like to keep covers as accurate as possible, you know, do it the justice it deserves! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Honestly I hadn't heard of them until recording this tune for a project. It was a fun tune to play. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! It was always a fun song to lay as well! Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! I'm still learning as well...you are never too old! I have several adult students in your same situation. I will say, if you are interested I teach online...Thank you for watching and your kind words!

Thanks!nYou never know what you'll encounter on the gig! Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!

yea! Those guys were on point! I hung out with them for a bit, really cool guys! Those snare were the best! I believe they only used the OG 13 rudiments. Maybe 26...

Thank you! Yea, I think I noticed the shuffle by accident years ago while teaching a student this roll. Since then I have tried to play my shuffles as fast as my doubles...haven't made it yet...Thank you so much for watching!

Im really not sure what that means...Thanks for watching though!.

Thank you so much! troy Lucketta is one of my favorite drummers, he can blend simple ideas and make huge impacts! Thanks for watching!

Yep! I think most people can't get past the subdivision thing. Not understanding that your hands aren't really doing any crazy movements...Thanks for stopping by! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

Thank you sir! Thanks for watching!

Thank so much Kaiden! To find this you went deep! I haven't even watched it in forever! Thanks for checking it out!

Well said! My hearing loss started when I started when I started playing drums and in my teen years.

Thank you very much! Welcome! Thanks for watching!

I can't say I have ever used more complicated bass drum patterns, and I don't know if there are any, at least for that version of the beat. BUT! If you check out "Poor Tom" from Led Zeppelin, Bonham uses a hand to hand eighth note pattern on the snare and a great bass drum part. Here's a link to Zeppelin playing it. You can also find demos just searching here. th-cam.com/video/JP8aHfKGxBc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LcNOLnQ96-O-Cii9

I thought there was a little Radar Love in there. Great video, I subscribed couldn’t forget your name. Thanks

@@TSTatum Ah yes! Radar Love! What a great groove! I'll have to that to a future lesson! Thanks for the sub! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! it's one of the snares that when I got the hoop, head, tuning combo down I was in love!

Yes! I love the train...Such fun. I never thought about them slow v fast, but it does seem that's what they are...Thanks so much for watching! And all the comments!

Thank you!

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

This is your opinion. John Bonham, Alex Van Halen are just two that tune high like this. Like I said in the video, tuning is subjective. I like my toms on the higher side, not dead, boxy and thuddy. Higher tuned drums allow the OHs to capture the drums sound.

@@brandonfaulknermusic snare sounds fantastic though

@@operationremodel Thank you! I'm pretty fond of it myself! Thanks for watching!

Hell Yea! You almost got this for your lesson last night!

You know I think I have heard that. It is a great way to get a good starting point when tuning. I wish I could find where I first saw it...Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much! The main thing I was hoping to do with this video is give a good over all perspective. It seems everyone now days wants a device to tell them how to tune, your ear is the best tool. I have found that what I show here has worked the best and quickest for me though the years. Thanks so much for the comment and Thanks you for watching! (And don't get me started with lining up logos...I'll pull out some protractors and retractors and get them lined up by NASA satellites! hahahah) Thanks so much!

Thanks such for the comment! This is a great topic of discussion as well. I have had the same issue with my left hand as well. It will be hard to diagnose without seeing you play, but, make sure your hand is moving straight up and down. I know this seems like a no brainer but my hand has a tendency to twist slightly vs up/down and this cause some movement of the stick.I would say start by using a mirror and watch what your hand is doing, you may think both hands are moving the same but there may be a slight twist which will throw your left stick out of center.The next thing I would look at is how are you holding the stick?(well, really this would be first) I have a few videos on how to hold the stick and hand movement on the channel. I also have students that came to me with somewhat the same issue. To help fix it, first, use the mirror to make sure you're not twisting your hand, then, without sticks, put your hands on a flat surface or your knees and practice moving as you would in a double, using wrist strokes. Don't worry about speed, make sure you move slow and deliberate. Then grab your sticks and do the same, using wrist strokes(don't worry about fingers or bounce). If your hand is doing what mine was, just need a little retraining on the movement. Then bring the rebound stroke back. That's the best advice I can give without seeing you play doubles. If you'd like go deeper, we can. I do have some videos on doubles on my channel too. If you'd like to go deeper, I'm happy to help... Thanks so much for watching!

@@brandonfaulknermusic I'll do that, thanks for taking the time to help me out.

@@adrianmarkstrom6692 You are very welcome! If you'd like to go deeper let know, my website should be linked. I wish you all the best!

Thank you very much for the kind words! Thanks for watching!

I felt like I demoed enough...The playing wasn't what this was about.

Yep! I agree! However, There are a few that have great sounding kits! but the majority...

Great question. I'm going to base my answer on a 22" bass drum. The P3 Black Dot is a great head, now my personal favorite is the P3 coated. I am just a fan of coated heads. I have a YAMAHA 22/16 with the P3 Black Dot and a P3 reso. Very solid sounding bass drum. Hole in the reso head. I have the batter tuned just over wrinkle and the reso about a medium tension. I will sometimes use P3 coated with an Ambassador reso with a DW pillow in the drum, same tuning. That gives me a nice solid punch. The beast thing I'd say is to experiment(as best you can with in your budget) I have only come to where I am after many years and many heads. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Thank you for watching!

The alignment of the heads with the logo is totally an OCD thing on my part...it has no bearing on sound. Just one of those quirks I've developed over the years....Thanks for watching!

@@brandonfaulknermusic yeah I get it 😂

Yes.

Thank you so much for being so engaging and letting me know that these are being watched and helping! Yea these trios are very old school but they still work, sound great and are fun to play!And yes Dave uses them A LOT! I think drummers these days have forgotten about them...I have some more fill ideas like this coming soon. Again, Thank you so much for the feedback and engagement! If you ever want to go deeper on these types of things let me know...I think I left my email on this...Have a great day! and Thank you!

@@brandonfaulknermusic Yea definitely. No probs Brandon I'm learning a lot. I've always self taught myself but I want to start getting proper lessons soon. Brandon If I said you could only choose 1 genre to recommend for lessons & that genre would make it easier to pick up or learn other genres, would you say that would be Jazz?? Cheers.

Ahhhh yes...chops. You ask a great question. The first thing to do is define chops. Is it what Zack does? Is it what Dave Growl does? What I'm guessing you are asking here, it is what Zack does. In a nut shell, yes, he is just playing combinations of singles and doubles and some flams. Then linear patterns around the drum set at high rates and moving between subdivisions. And there are a lot of people on TH-cam that will show you combinations of stickings that will equate to "chops". What I would suggest is get really good at moving through your rudiments and then start applying them to the drum set. Also, like in my paradiddle video, practice playing them between your hands and feet. Once you master them, then increase the rate at which you play them. I would suggest, and this is something I talk with my students about as well, have a serious talk with yourself about what type of drummer do you want to be and what do you want to do. From there then start practicing for that thing.I will say this, I have never been hired because I can play a mean drum solo...I hope that helps! And thank you so much for being engaging and asking such great questions!

@@brandonfaulknermusic Hi! Yea sorry definitely Zach Grooves regarding chops & not Grohl haha! Thanks for your advice Brandon, got it. Definitely will do that. Cheers.

Thank you very much! I also want my drums to sound good without mics! So tuning them like this helps! I will also us different heads and tunings depending on what I'm doing and what's called for...but over all, what I do in this video is me...Let's try to make this tuning popular again! hahaha Thank you so much for the kind words and Thank You for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I see a lot of drum tuning videos where they speak of the relationship between the two heads of a double-headed drum. Most people tap on one head and then reach over and tap the other head without muting the opposing head. Maybe to their ears they can hear a difference but on the video and in real life it's very hard to distinguish the pitch difference. All you have to do is gently touch or muffle the opposing head that you're not striking to hear that pitch. Just remember to mute the head you're not striking and the pitch difference between the two heads will be much easier to hear.

@@davidchandler9311 You are absolutely right! That bugs me too! If you don't mute one head you can't distinguish what you're hearing.When I tap one head then the other unmuted, I'm only listening for the difference between top and bottom...I don't get nerdy when tuning, I listen to make sure the drum has a nice pitch bend and then that the kit sounds good as a whole...tweak from there. Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching!
