Thank you guys for all the tips and tricks lately. I've just started so I will definitely keep up to date with that. Thank you guys so much for the support!
I can give you some 1.) Change the drum heads The default yrixon heads sounds like garbage, i prefer remo. 2.) Tightly Tune the drum for a more articulate drum that can rebound pretty well. 3.) Try to hit more zones as it can help with loosening it up.
Good job, I won’t tell you to tune your drums because everyone else has. I would tell you the same thing I would tell my students. TH-cam videos can be a blessing or a curse. There is so many videos exposing young player to advanced rudiments and music that it’s easy to get the notes with out having the technique. That’s why we start with such an easy exercise as 8 on a hand at a slow tempo. Practice that in front of a mirror so you can see what your hands and body are doing. Start slow get your hands use to playing in the zones on the heads, don’t flip your wrists to play the 3and 4 drums get use to moving to the drums. Spend time on the basics so when your ready to play the advanced stuff it looks and sounds great. Keep up the good work.
Good Job! Couple things though. Obviously tune the drums. Second, work on playing in the zones. And movement around drums need some work. Keep your fingers on the sticks.
Try and turn your wrists so that your thumb isn’t necessarily on top but is more at a 45 degree angle so you can see your back of the hand a bit from up top. Also try and not rotate your hands outwards for the outer drums but move your arms back. This small bit of advice helps a crap ton for any tenor player, I hope it helps! Nice work!
I forgot to mention that yes ours were tuned badly - they didn't care in the first place. Our storage room is a repurposed bathroom with bird nests and spider webs.
A few tips -------------------------------------------------------- If it is your home drum: Tuning Drum tilt Drum wear & tear ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This can include tuning the drums weekly, learning how to repair the stand/harness/connection points to each tom, and replacing the heads, depending on how often you play (I would recommend maybe every one-three months if you are on a budget, but always at least monthly if playing regularly and if you have the time and money) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For drum heads, I recommend REMO. Color/transparency does not matter as much as some people think, but do NOT cheap out. You can go with a cheaper option, but the cheapest will break like plastic, which is why I like REMO. My highschool as REMO crimped pinstriped tenor heads. Make sure to get the right sizes. To check sizes, measure across the entire shell. Make sure to always do this orientation with your heads, to ensure the best playing sound. Drums 1 & 2 should have the head logo (REMO if it is the logo) at the top of the drum, and spock(s), and drums 3 & 4 at the bottom. The logo can occasionally warp sound. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tuning, is the second most important thing here (I'd say) Depending if you are going for the classic, crisp sounding DCI drums (Drum Corp International) or the casual High schooler drums, you will need to tune to different notes. Keep in mind, that your toms sizes also may change the notes you tune to. For example, Tom's 4 -> 1, E4, G5, B5, and D5 -----> Points: 1. Always start with Tom 4 2. Some people say to aim for a Minor 7th chord progression 3. Always tune & detune in a star pattern, (use google for images) and only do three-five turns at a time to ensure the integrity of your drum shell 4. Constantly check in with your drums, about weekly, to ensure the tuning has not changed due to weather or playing time. 5. Depending on the style of music, or type of band you want to play in, you may need to tune higher or lower. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please, I beg, always try to clean off your drums and sticks with disinfecting wipes, or some sort of cloth. The shells, heads, and sticks will look better, and it will help you discipline maintenance. -------------------------------------------------------- And if it is your home drum or not, Stick height Stick orientation Zones Placement on sticks/finger movement on sticks Special techniques (Overall control) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (stick height) I recommend tuning your drums first before figuring out your stick height. The drums are supposed to be tuned high up, and the recoil may change the way you play your heights. Play sensitively, marching drums are loud enough. Don't force the sound. If it is a Forte, I recommend a solid up to five inches max off the drum (tip), and accents, maybe a solid seven to eight. Depends on the volume of drums around. If you are solo in a band, you may feel a need to play louder, so you may change your stick height accordingly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (stick orientation) This may include starting with the basics first. It looks like you know how to hold the sticks properly for toms 1 & 2. Good job. Now, 3 & 4, you rotate your wrists. Big no-no. Always, pull back your elbows for your left hand on tom 4 and your right hand on top 3. Your arm should be straight (typically) with your wrists when hitting any tom, so utilize your elbow movement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (zones) Zones typically exist to make sure that you can reach the drum in time, and to produce the BEST sound quality. (FOR MORE DETAILS, SEARCH UP A GOOGLE IMAGE ON TENOR DRUM ZONES). Typically, your zones will be opposite your logo, but not exact. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (finger placement) If you want to double check your figure posture (yours did look fine), make a finger gun, and on the first line to the tip of your pointer, put around the bottom third line of your stick (or forth). (if you have a Vic Firth stick, use the flag). Put your thumb opposite that. Wrap your fingers around it, and done! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (finger movement) Unless you are using techniques like doubles or buzzed rolls, your fingers should not move much on the stick. Make sure you are not choking the stick, but make sure the stick doesn't bounce around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Special techniques) Some things to improve your tenor playing is to learn different techniques. Some have to do with your hands and others where you play on the drum. Drum-orientated (beginner) 1. Rimshots 2. Ping Shots 3. Rim Clicks Hand-orientated (beginner) 1. Flam 2. closed stroke roll (buzz roll) 3. Pancake (trick) 4. Traditional Grip (snare line) 5. Accents (probably first thing to work on) Hand-orientated (next step) 1. Doubles 2. Open stroke rolls 3. paradiddles 4. Cross-overs 5. Tossing sticks (tricks) 6. Flams but doubles (Forgot the name) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you read all of this, thank you! God bless! I hope you have fun on your tenor journey. Take your time, trust me.
Start: Pretty calm Solos: BOOOOOOOOM But seriously coming from someone who plays in a Drumline that is pretty high up there, if you ever came up to me and played like that you’re getting tenor one easily man. Keep up the hard work brother!
Also keep your fingers on the stick. But other than that good job. Keep going with drums and you could prob make it to a professional band/Drumline like the blue devils. Keep up the good work man. 👍👍
Just make sure the hand your not playing with is still over a drum, and make sure when holding the sticks, the back of your hands are facing the ceiling. Good job though. And if your replying that this is hate, it's not. It's constructive criticism. btw, don't be scare to crank those drums up. I promise you wont break them. I suggest search a quad tuning video.
I see all the other tips and they’re right but also keep those fingers especially your pinkies on the stick and relax while playing especially uptempo or rather the faster speeds like the 6tuplet solo. But keep on your journey there is no limit to your skills.
literally every jig 2 solo video has nerds commenting about “tune the drums” and whatnot, stfu he’s just showing his performance you’re not his teacher
1. Please keep your fingers on the stick 2. Tune your drums(I know everyone has been saying to tune them) 3.make sure you stuck to one grip( I will see you play with a really French grip, then an American grip, then a German grip) 4. Play with good zones But otherwise decent job, and how did you get the fill size trixon
1:05 I heard barely any rim ticks, #norimticks . Make sure to keep the tempo, on the solo you went up by almost 20 BPM. Keep that tempo! Otherwise amazing job.
1:05) Ah yes, the sweet sound of making popcorn at 3am. So lovely.

One tip don’t do as my band director calls breaking your wrist like turning them to get to another like move your arms around the drum
I can give you some
1.) Change the drum heads
The default yrixon heads sounds like garbage, i prefer remo.
2.) Tightly Tune the drum for a more articulate drum that can rebound pretty well.
3.) Try to hit more zones as it can help with loosening it up.

Every time I stumble across one of these percussion videos, I feel sorry for whoever else lives in the house lol
No rim ticks! Nice
Well he hit one rim tick but still just to only hit one rim tick is really good tho
I love watching this and i keep watching this for hours
Tune the drum, play in your zones, and move your wrist properly

epic tip
*_When was the last time you tuned your drums_*
1964 probably
Yesterday what do you mean??
Ryan Blaise wdym??
Franky it's a joke
James Fishing and percussion cool i never asked
I like how people kept saying that the drums aren't tuned correctly but that's literally how the quads are tuned in our highschool band lmao
My quads could definitely be tuned better, but the ones I use in high school, during middle school practice, I sorta similar so I tuned them to that.
Your tenors are out of tune then lol
That just means your school tenors are tuned just as bad 💀
Damn your high school doesn’t care
I forgot to mention that yes ours were tuned badly - they didn't care in the first place. Our storage room is a repurposed bathroom with bird nests and spider webs.

0:26 bros breaking the sound barrier
I’m the beginning don’t for get to break at your elbows technique is everything
When you're switching from drum 1 and 2 to 3 and 4 at the beginning, make sure you're moving your arms and not your wrists to play
Wow that was really cool 😎 👏 👌 👍
1:05 IVE SURVIVED! (i'm a headphone user)
1. Tune drums
2. Solo is bass boosted lmao
3. Nice job
Bro try to keep your fingers on the sticks but don’t feel bad I had the same problem too , keep up the good work
when’s the last time u tuned those drums? and don’t fling your hands out
0:35 WOW
When he hit the Spock I was like wait did he hit it or nah it was so low
Yea the Spock almost sounded like it had no tension on the head
Goofy ahh spock
THE TUNING
1:06 the sound barrier
😂
Cold sounding drums
If he did it well, it is for my respects, I had the milti too, but I left the van in the station.
That's very good
Thank you!
You’re doing great just try to watch your wrists you’re kinda turning them instead of moving your hand this will also help with your playing areas👍
Sehr geil...🥁🥁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Don’t be afraid to crank them drums
Yep, I have the 6 pack version of these, even with the stock heads they can really crank
Tune Drum PLZZZ...😉😉😉
You definitely have to tune your drum but otherwise that sound really good and I did not hear any rim shots at all
i agree
Siiiick!
I don’t know if u know this but there is a way better version of jig 2
What is the version? Send me the link.

You did very good! Just try not to turn your wrists bro. But other than that great job👏
0:23 my fav part
4 sounds like edm bass
Bro is breaking the sound barirer 0:11
True
What did you do to detune the drums that badly? (Unless they're new.)
How you do that
Don’t break your wrists bro, also you should definitely tune those. Otherwise great job!
When was the last time you had tune your quad drums I'm just asking not trying to be rude
Quick question. Why are you holding the sticks like that?
Because it felt most natural to me???
First, keep your pinkies in. Second those drums need some tuning. Especially drum 4 and the spock. Other than that it was great!
hand might not be the best but better than i could do being a snare player only one tick is insane
where did you get your quads stand from have those quads and been looking for one and can’t find it some tips on where to find it?
Honesty, I don't recall on where I found them. I can try to look and see where I may have got them if you would like?
What stand did you use?
I believe it is a pearl quad stand. I'm not 100% on that though.
pog
did you record this with a door bell samara?
When you go out to drum 3 and 4 keep your wrist straight just turning your wrist is a bad habit.
Good job idk if people have already said this but if you can try to not break at the wrists
Nice
Sounds like a original one
I can do jig 2 but i have problems first i can do it but 2nd i can but first one but second i cant do it i need more practice tho
He need oscar😂
Are these Trixon?
1:07 R.I.P Headphone Users Fuuuuu
Try to move your hit zones back down on the top drums, it kinda looks like your playing the middle of the drum
I’d say tune the drums and use your wrists properly but you did an excellent job!
Ever heard of tuning\sticking?
I have, but I've just started about a month ago.
clean up the playing zones, pull them closer in
May I ask what drum is that?
It’s a trixon tenor drum
theres this cool thing called a drum key...
Drum 4 oomphing fr

omg your zones are gonna kill me
what is the name of this drumsticks I want to buy this drumsticks

Tune the drum and hold the drumstick right
I see all the other tips and they’re right but also keep those fingers especially your pinkies on the stick and relax while playing especially uptempo or rather the faster speeds like the 6tuplet solo. But keep on your journey there is no limit to your skills.

It would be wise to get like maybe evans tenor heads because most stock heads are really bad heads and trixon heads are no exceptions
