- When I was practicing this song the other night, I decided it would be good to film it to spot areas of improvement. I still have some tightening up to do, but hopefully you enjoy the play through!
This is honestly insanely skilled work. Instead of sacrificing the groove for speed, he actually balances both, and it’s expression emphasized with technical skill.
Thank you so much! I didn’t work on a ton of new content with them, but I’m happy to have collaborated on this one. Sometimes it’s nice to just settle into a groove, which is why the hi hat count is only quarter notes underneath instead of eighth notes in the first verse. It’s a fun song to play with a good mix of parts!
Love that gnarly “off-beat” trashy china crash
That snare is explosive. Sounds awesome.
my god your set sounds amazing, great work man. really been enjoying your playthroughs, hope there are more in the future!
Thank you so much! I don’t know how I missed this, but I really appreciate the kind words.
Thanks Ryan!
Sophisticated simplicity, intertwined. The end really really nails it, with Courtney's vocs. My favorite song - maybe best 100!
Been watching this for like 20 times. Gonna try to play this on drums - next week, gotta augment them a bit! Right on, mate.
Thank you so much! It’s a really fun song to play through. Awesome to hear that you’re gonna play through - let me know if you have any questions about parts.
Incredibly helpful thanks!
Glad I could help!
dont worry buddy youre good hard work always pay at the end! stay safe and wish you the best in this wonderfull band !!!
Beautiful
your playing is so unique and original I love it! Every time I listen to the mara effect session I catch a little thing you do that makes me go wow. perhaps a bleach bath play-through?
joshua wow, thanks Joshua! I really appreciate that. The live session was fun because I got to play the programmed parts the way I interpret them and add my own touches to them. I will definitely do a bleach bath playthrough at some point!
@@ryanloerke981 So excited! also its been haunting me what is your stack?
joshua it’s an 17” AA Holy China over top of a 18” AAX Aero Crash. I like using the hi-hat adapter since it gets me a little better control of what tension I want. I also like having one brilliant cymbal and one natural. If I want a little more articulation, I put the Aero crash on top. If I want the stack to be “softer”, I put the Holy China on top. Hope that helps!
Ryan Loerke wow, the drums on that album were programmed? Any idea who did them? They sound very realistic.
I haven’t gotten around to sitting down with this song yet, but it’s genius that you use your hats to keep the beat during the stack part in the verse. Killer as always my dude. 🤘🏻
Nathan Shorter thanks man! I thought it was a fun little touch that made it a little more challenging haha
Great cover
Great performance!!!
Thank you!!
Stack sounds amazing.
Thanks man! It’s a 17” AA Holy China over a 18” AAX Aero Crash
I'm not a drummer ... but I came to watch that off-feel splash (maybe not splash ... but I think so) in the first verse. It drives me crazy in a good way and I have no idea how you can do that.
sgorno thank you very much! Just practice and repetition. Once you sort of get your limbs sorted out, it’s not too bad :)
Any plans for Barcelona any time soon? 🥵
I’m not a drummer but this is awesome 👏🏽
Yeah I know, you are a guitah playah ;)
nice! Which crashes and china are you using? cheers
Thanks so much! For this I was using a 20" Sabian HHX Complex Crash and a 21" Sabian HHX Groove Ride for crashes. 20" HHX China on the right side!
Hi Ryan. Hope you're well. What specific Yamaha kit are you playing, and what do you use the effects unit on the left for? I've been playing around with drum samples for years and lately I find myself gravitating more towards Yamaha kits for whatever reason. And are those hhx click hats?
Aaron Loves Gear hi Aaron! In this video I’m using my Yamaha Recording Custom kit, 12/13/16/22. The snare is a 14x6.5 Yamaha Mike Bordin Signature. I’ve recording through a Yamaha EAD10 and using the Arena Reverb setting, with no sampling. And correct, they are HHX click hats! Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@ryanloerke981 dude I use the Yamaha EAD10 too, are you using the Arena Scene by default or do you apply customization on your settings? I mean how much reverb (and typeof reverb” effect and trigger level
@@kevinaman8266 hey Kevin! I use the stage reverb and between 1/3 and 1/2 of the way up. Such a great tool to use!
@@ryanloerke981 zero effect and no trigger? Just the reverb and that’s it?
@@kevinaman8266 oh sorry I wasn’t being clear. I had a bit of the effect on and a bit it trigger, but mostly reverb.
This has only 2400 views and you only have 220 subs? Wtf? That's criminal.
Haha thanks man! Just posting stuff here and there.
So, I'm a total novice. When you said you "still have some tightening up to do" - what specifically were you looking for? I've started recording my own practice sessions, but I don't have any formal teaching, so I don't really know what I should be looking for to improve on =[
matt good for you Matt! Honestly it’s a great way to go back and check on timing, consistency and technique - especially if you are playing to a metronome. For me, I’d like to improve on a few of the fills, consistency/accuracy of my hi hat counting in that off time stack part in the first verse, and just overall fluidity. I like being picky with my playing so I don’t get complacent!
Is he letting you write yet? That stack 3/4 part is moneyyyy
p00p5utt this was a joint effort! Michael presented the original off stack idea, and I changed how it repeats, tweaked the kick pattern, and added in the hi hat count. Aside from that, I just modified parts so it was a little more “me” sounding. It’s great having him show me what he’s thinking since he’s a great drummer, as it allows me to have a starting point to work off of!
@@ryanloerke981 by “he” do you mean Stringer? Did you come up with the final drum track that made it on the album? I’ve been trying to nail down that stack part but it’s tricky...heard triplets at first but now it sounds like dotted 8ths with an odd 8th in there. Very cool!
@@theopinson3851 yeah Mike wrote the demo version, and I just changed the timing, some of the kick patterns and just went over the song and tweaked fills and parts so they were a little more my style. Mike is an amazing drummer, so he made it easy to build off of.
@@ryanloerke981 did not realize that, but it makes sense. He plays guitar like a drummer lol. Very very cool part, really love the drumming in general throughout the band.
Good lord that snare pops. How do you get it to sound like that? I've been trying and I just feel like I can't get it.
It was a really heavy Copper Yamaha Mike Bordin signature model. Pretty gnarly snare that had some serious crack to it!
What sort of snare do you have now?
hey can i ask you how many times you change tempo ? and how much of bpm on that part?
Soundstory Studio there are gradual tempo changes throughout the song (like 2 or 3 bpm) but nothing major, aside from the ending breakdown. The intro, second half of the verses and chorus all have different BPMs.
@@ryanloerke981 how many bpm on each part 116 ?
Soundstory Studio I would have to check. I have it gridded out at home!
@@ryanloerke981 pls man , one of my friend gonna cover your song
Hey dude, are you no longer playing with them?
I wasn’t able to do the tour, so they found a replacement to fill in. As far as involvement moving forward, not too sure! I guess we’ll see haha :)
@@ryanloerke981 dude you're awesome at replies hahaha. I didn't see an option on TH-cam to direct message so I apologize for asking on a comment
p00p5utt haha no problem! I get notifications which helps :)
Excellent cover, but the snare is deymmm crisp. This should blow up. 🎆🎆🎆
Thanks man! This was just a quick playthrough when I was still in the band.
Hey Ryan, did you leave spiritbox?
Hey Cody! Yes, earlier last year. Unfortunately, their touring schedule just didn’t work for me being a new dad.
@@ryanloerke981 I’m feeling personally attacked right now 😭 Kidding aha, congratulations on the little one! Hopeful to see more awesome drumming videos once you have time again! Good luck in your endeavors!
@@cody4925 hahaha sorry my man. Would’ve loved to keep playing with them, but just didn’t make sense. Thank you! I’m always busy with something :)
