Kirk, Loved the video, the kick drum tuning is and always has been my short coming, this vid helped immensely. thank you. Off topic question tho, honestly from my bride, where did you get those standing light bars in the background? Thanks brother, and love your stuff!

Good Drum 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

What is that snare pattern called or made up of?

🔥🔥🔥🔥

birch all the way.

This is a great tutorial, Kirk. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I have my bottom hat cymbal just about touching the top hat on the side where the filter thingy is. There is about an inch or so space between the hats on the side closer to me. As far as looseness of the hats goes, I don’t know. Mine is probably about where yours is.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Great video. True.

Love it!

Pretty cool rim shot my friend. Awesome drummer!

Este señor toca para el que estudio!!! Batería.

I’m not sure what that was demonstrating. I am sure that it sounded solid.❤️🙏

Excellent!!! Please continue to make more of this content 🥁🔥

The return of quality drum videos

Hi Mr.Russman it’s your student Avery from m4 that rim shot was tight also nice playin it was very smooth❤😮😮

That was a nice rim shot!

Been an H&B user for 46 years. Started with the fiber cases and worked my way though to the Enduro Pros. Not a single H&B case has ever let me down. The best example I have is from years ago when my drums were being transported to the stage on a golf cart. The golf cart took a hard turn and one of the cases fell, hit the grown and bounced into a reflection pool. The drum not only didn't have a dent or a scratch, it didn't even get wet. That's how good these cases are. BTW, H&B has a couple of lines of soft cases too.

What's up kirk?!!!!....

I'm not sure if I already ask you a question or not, but did you endorse by Prologic pad?

I have the exact same one

Thanks kirk! Never seen or heard of 55a. Will check em out at the store next time I'm there. I also have large hands and long fingers. So Ive been using 5a's and 1a's!

Question: "Hey can you describe some of the sound characteristics of maple vs birch? I care to know. Answer: "Nobody cares!"

I have had the older model H&B Enduro unlined cases for 3 different drum kits. I have shipped internationally with no issues for cases, drums or cymbals.

I'm sold!

yea kurt rustbank

I like using a big heavy stick to warm up with and I don’t think about it at all. I just do it and it helps me.

It’s like their company policy is this: Offer customers lots of options when designing their pads, but keep the pads until you feel ready to ship them out. But as bad as their customer service is, it’s not as much *BS* as this little fact: some guy duct taped a banana to a wall and it somehow sold for $6.2 million!!!!!!!!! *$6.2 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE THE BULLSHIT???? IF I HAD KNOWN I’D GET PAID AMOUNT OF MONEY, I WOULDN’T BE WORKING!!!!!!!!! AND IT’S AN INSULT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD AT WHAT THEY DO, AND WHAT THEY’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT, AND THEN THEY FIND OUT THIS PIECE OF CRAP???????? THAT A BANANA!!!!! DUCT TAPED TO A WALL!!!!!!!!! SOLD FOR $6.2 MILLION?!?!?!?!?!?!?! THIS IS MONEY LAUNDERING!!!!!!!!! AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Would be nice to know the drum dial settings, sounds great

What do you think about the power stroke 3 clear

If they want to make it up, give us extra 30% off with new shipping time for all previous purchaser.

Actually, this watch is not made by Seiko Watch but Seiko Instruments. Both are part of the Seiko Group Corporation but separate companies.

Thank you! I'm about to buy my first kit. I'm an engineer; not a drummer. Your video re-enforced my opinion and thoughts. I'll be getting a Mapex Mars 5 piece kit. Thanks again for the confirming information.

I ordered a xymox reserve max+ today and everything is black and the screws are brass color I will let you know when it is here

Correction. Bb is referenced back to A being at those frequencies, my man! Like how Bb would sound if A was at 440, 442 or 443. That's how the whole system works. Other than that, an awesome video! I have a strong urge to own this watch! 🔥❤️🤟👍

Going on 20 years with my skb cases. Only complain i have is the inner lining coming undone. Other than that cases are built tough...

Great lesson as usual I've been watching you from the start just brilliant !!

This is the only review that I can find on TH-cam of the new xymox pad design. They changed the design of the pad back in November of 2022. It now has a double rim which the older pads did not. The snare mechanism is also different. It is now circle and it used to be square. Also the old pads came with a pad to stop the snare sound, it no longer includes that. With that being said, I ordered and received a reserve max + pad about 4 months ago. I LOVE it! We all know the bad history of xymox. They are much better now. My pad come in one month with frequent shipping updates. They did however send my pad with the wrong color lugs,(they sent me the color i actually wanted, i didn’t go with my gut, so honestly happy i got the ones I wanted!). I sent them an email and asked if I can get the correct color lugs that i ordered and they sadly never responded. I think I’ll send a follow up email. With all that being said, if you’re thinking of getting a pad from xymox I highly recommend and think it is safe to get nowadays!

Ijust got this book a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait to check it out!! Great video

this watch is so sick, I've been wanting it for a while. Do you have any recommendations on where to get a nicer strap for it? I'm not too into watches and wouldn't know

"Say you're right-handed, and your left hand stinks, or you're left-handed, and your right hand stinks..." Or like me, I'm right-handed, and both hands stink. 😉

Crazy man, if only I had this watch when I was playing trumpet, heh. Not for time keeping just because I love watches

I ordered tenor pads from Xymox on 10/24/2019 and still haven’t received them or a refund. Absolute trash company.

Nice vid. Could you provide me with your source please? I wanna buy one!

Great video Kirk ! I enjoy your channel ! Great topics ! :) Would love to see the mallet bag also and what you use ! As an educator myself ( and Vic Firth artist ), it´s interesting to see other colleagues take on different stuff and what they use ! Keep videos coming ! All the best from Sweden ! :) /Peter

I’m pretty sure that the pad is made of the same thing as a moon gel, which is not liquid. It just has a plastic layer over it.

I never heard about Seiko Metronome watch before!
