I have these pedals and I notice that I have to play with lighter feet on the direct drive pedals to get the response I need vs the cam drive.

Can you tell how you tune your toms?Bottom head higher?Fundamental tones??? Tnx

Huh?

If you not working on marching books Wilcox you not challenging what you need

Stick control is warm up to get technique

All naysayers this is a good vid to clarify. Confusing to get viewers is not good

I felt the same way it was confusing

I’ve got 40 drum books and haven’t found much new

Great video. Did you use Emperor or Ambassador?

Awesome compilation! For 2025 I’d like to see some playing on that Birch Custom Absolute! 😊 Maybe a comparison to your Hybrid Maple?!?

Like every year I put together a small compilation of some 2024 footage, mainly gigs, some recordings etc. It has again been a good and fun year🤘💪😎.

yea man i have seen few videos of the 20/80 drummer the one that really got me is when he was trying to play a solo of Eric Moore and going in so many details in analyzing it, but it sounded like 0.5% like Eric Moore. Nothing against sharing knowledge yes but talking like you are the expert while actually having not much to offer is not right 😅

Juan Carlito Mendoza - he has a great system that he uses

I get that some folks aren’t happy about negativity. But it is good to call out bad teaching, and the 80/20 vid is some really bad teaching.

This…is NOT a good direction for the drumming community. Find a better use of your time and expertise. Nate has been around for years and has provided tons of useful and insightful content. Be a positive influence. Reaction videos like this?!…not cool man.

Oooh, this is a game you can't win 😂

I have a dfp9 and I use the strap! Its awesomely smooth! I sometimes put Speed Cobra beaters on it. The heavier weight and butane rubber really has a good momentum for faster metal like stuff with lighter, repetitive hits.

Drum beats online next 🙏

I have a lot of questions!! How do you tune each drumhead? top and bottom the same? Do the hammered tube version sound different than imperial lugs? The different tunings sound great

Great review. Think I’ll stick to strap or chain . I’ve been procrastinating about a double pedal & like them . But I’m going nutz doing hi hat claves & 3/4 splash’s etc etc & that’s fun . I have the FP predecessor with a strap but getting the 9 soon . Syncopated & dynamic is as important to speed for me 😃

React to Rick Dior . He is a wonderful man

I think I get the point that he’s teaching a concept to test, evaluate and benchmark new technique, which is analogous to training AI to develop GO tactics by data, instead of programming the tactics directly. I agree the title is click-baity and inaccurate and the concept is a bit confusing to beginners, but as a pro and TH-camr yourself I’m sure you can totally get it. I think it would be more helpful to perhaps explain the confusing parts to beginners than to act confused. You are a much better teacher than an actor😂

That 80/20 guy is so annoying and his playing sounds awful. He thinks he's so smart. My friend was always recommending his videos to me, but I never learned one useful thing from them. He can't even make a simple groove sound good

Subscribed! Hoping to see more of these.

Mike could also use a jam block with a pedal, use his left foot on quarter note so he got his 3 limbs free ?

This was fxxxing epic! You killed it, groove, technique, dynamic, you’ve got it all! I am here as I just opened a box with my name on it at my parents place and found the weckl book, it’s been close to 30 years since I heard this track!

Binder clips and a handkerchief make a super versatile system for drum dampening. Either folded/rolled up to the size and orientation you want, or just simply cover the whole drum head with it and clip it into place. Seemed so obvious after I started doing it. I also really like rings cut out from old drum heads for sure. Nice vid.

I’ve known a lot of these influencer drummers are hacks and 80/20 is one of the worst offenders. Nice to see actual talented professional drummers calling these videos out.

Maybe this isn’t his most precise video, but check out his other ones. I admire that he is generous with his knowledge and also humble. I don’t mind reaction videos in principle, but keep in mind he has worked pretty hard to get where he is. Best Wishes

So what are we doin here? Critiquing others? Is drumming going to turn into wrestling now? Perhaps we can all create goofy characters maybe wear some masks or make up and create rivalry, it will be great! I'm happy I found your channel you can thank 80/20, ya know.

The drum teacher equivalent of arguing over “the greatest drummers of all time”….going to be difficult to arrive at any objectivity . I’m sure both of you could teach me something , and I will listen . I think you’re better than this . I’ll even subscribe today . I’ve had enough of the negativity on all things coming out of my country . Stay well everyone

80/20 is a fantastic teacher. Your rolling eyes are very annoying and his kick sounds friggen great. Stop talking crap otherwise you will have very few customers.

Why make these videos? I've dug your videos before, but you've also had clickbaity titles for example. Idk, I'm only 2:15 in, I'll continue watching, it's just not something I expected lol. Edit: I watched all of this and the Mike vid now, I understand a bit more now. Some of the most helpful reaction content out there already.

Thats such a good Review!! For me you have the best Drum Channel!! 🔥🔥🥁

I agree with you. That guy is a notorious algorithm chaser and not someone that people should refer to for drumming pedagogy. YT is full of them.

Dude, if you think pissing on someone with far more subs than you is a good way to boost your subs, you're no good at heart. What might get you more viewers is to mic your voice better. NOBODY likes hearing saliva sloshing around in your mouth, or your lips smacking.

I'm a beginner drummer. I've watched some of his videos and he has some decent videos out there. This one tho. He says "for you folks who are close to the beginning of your journey". Hey that's me!! And I have no idea what your doing! I don't think any of this is beginner material, but maybe I'm wrong? 🤷 I'm going to sub to you! I'm glad I found this video

I watched one of that dudes videos years ago and couldn't follow wtf he was even trying to get at. Seems like literally nothing has changed lmfao! Edit: Just wanted to add a thought. His whole video could be summed up in one sentence: Practice singles and doubles (whether that's paradiddles or 6 strokes or whatever) and orchestrate around the kit while maintaining proper technique. Nice lesson in theory but holy shit was that convoluted.

Excellent video! I just picked up the white Hybrid maple series, and it’s the best maple kit I’ve ever owned. It compliments my early 90’s Power recording customs. And, I agree with the O-rings….they sound great, for what they are. I’ve got them on my Tom’s as well, as a quick fix. And, that acrolite sounded REALLY nice. Btw…that M1 snare dampener is very rim specific…especially the older models. I’ve never had any problems with mine, but, when I was messing around with them in a local music store on a few different snares I noticed they did fit a bit differently depending on which M1, and what snares. But, I I never had the issues you were having. If you like how it sounds when yours works, I’d send it back and tell them what the issue is….maybe get a replacement. Those things aren’t cheap. With that said, it works really well (obviously, when not having those kinds of issues) and you can fold the leather onto itself to change the amount of dampening. Great video!…thank you for sharing.👍

25:33 exactly

That guy has always seemed like too much at once thanks for an actual good reaction

Great video! Few months ago I was looking for a Dynasonic and after a lot of research on the internet and videos like this, I ended up with a Powertone COB and I love it.

Are these videos a new version of "Demystifying youtube drum teachers" ? 😉 Nice video! 👍

🥳

"Interessantes" 🤨 Warm-Up, welches ich niemals üben werde 😂

As my last video for 2024 I decided to shoot out another reaction video, since you guys seemed to really like the first one 🙏🥳! I hope you enjoy this one too and I wish you all a happy and healthy 2025 🤘❤!!

I do not mean to disrespect anyone, but this warm-up exercise looks like something I would teach to troll students.

8:03 Everything sounds weird with Yamaha EAD10 sh*t. I hate that thing.

One thing you forgot to mention was the internal dampening systems that used to be on snare drums before they got phased out, though there are some snares today that come with the same internal dampening feature.

You saved me man thank you. Always have played dual chained doubles and am in the process of getting a new pedal and was leaning towards trying a DD, but i mainly play a lot more Bluesy/Rock/Punk styles, maybe a little metal that’d call for some faster kicks that call for a double pedal. Watching and hearing how fast and precise ur kicks and technique was is how I play as well and you sound amazing man. Gunna try the strap
