  • Deftones rolled through Dublin recently to play two sold out shows in the infamous Vicar St. The people of Ireland have been waiting for a long time to see their favourite band and were treated to two unforgettable nights. We caught up with drummer Abe Cunningham before the second of the two nights to talk everything from his brand new Vater Cool Breeze stick to that 'Ash Tray'. Enjoy and do subscribe for more :)

      It's because his style his so ridiculously unique to itself we don't know how to talk about it. What type of beats is her playing? Jazz? Or I have no idea. I'd like to to hear "technically" another drummer talking about what he does like tool's drummer describing what Abe is doing

    Endorsed artists who are well established in a successful career outfit rarely know what it is they're using off the top of their heads when it's inquired because equipment is constantly being switched out by their drum techs. Stuff gets broken and needs replaced and what you see on the gear websites isn't always reflective on the touring kit.

    Abe is my fucking idol and I'm mainly a guitarist. I was born to be a drummer though, I just had parents that required a volume knob. I love drummers who play with a healthy amount of ghost notes on the snare, with a nice, thumping bass drum, who beats the fuck out of their drums and are consistent and dedicated. Abe is the perfect drummer. I'm so sick of trying to find a reliable drummer, I'm about to quit playing guitar/ singing and just playing drums myself. The only reason I haven't, is because of the time I've put into playing guitar and singing.

    • @barrychadwick7105
      @barrychadwick7105 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you tend to just use one rack at a time in a fill then, rather than rolling through both of them?
      Also what about tunings? Regular, or something weird to compensate for rise/fall in tone through the kit?

    • @chairsmissing
      @chairsmissing 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes I even take away the tom-tom so I can bring my ride closer to me. Thats cause I do tend to use one rack for fills or I usually go from rack to floor, not staying on the racks too often.
      Now for tuning, I can either use regular to bring something reminiscent of triggering. Or if I want something more punchy, I might tune the rack tom a half step up and very occasionally use an O-ring to the floor tom. Its kinda fun to experiment with those things.

    • @andyham6094
      @andyham6094 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Barry Chadwick It makes sense for some drummers, like there are some heavy parts in rock songs where you hit the first Tom and the floor Tom at the same time and get that boom boom pop. And with the 12 inch switched with the 10, u just get more beef. People don’t do it because of fills in particular, more so cause the first Tom is used more than the 2nd rack Tom so to switch them makes sense. I don’t do it, and when I need a deep deep Tom sound, I just hit the second rack and floor Tom or both my floor toms at once but u have to cross ur left hand over to hit the second rack Tom and the floor Tom st once time. It’s not super awkward but def more comfy having the 12 inch as ur first rack Tom. And honestly when ur blazing a fill, it doesn’t really sound bad when u have the 12 before the 10. Like I said I don’t do this set up but I see the reason some drummers do it. Anika niles does this, tony royster has done this a lot, and a lot more drummers. Some say there is more space on the right side for the ride and other stacks or other cymbals but I don’t really see a big difference in actual room but I see the reason in actual playing having the 12 inch as the first rack Tom main Tom if u want that deeper Tom more consistent in your playing.
