Why not both? Expand your knowledge bases!
Cool.
A friend used to play his double pedals the same way. I can see where it makes sense, especially for death metal (which he played) when you did blasts or fast beats on the snare and hi-hat....
That's good. Keep that up.
How often do I practice? Not nearly enough as I should.
What do I practice on? Two pads... one for sticking and one for kick pedals. On the weekends, I practice on my...
Pro-Mark Neil Peart signature sticks are a bit longer than average, also.
Hey, great video! I'm still learning the parameters and settings of the DM5. I got mine a couple months ago with a Roland RT10K trigger, and I'm having a hell of a time getting it adjusted right....
That's where a lot of my problems lie. I want to dedicate so much more to playing, but I just can't. I work almost 60 hours every week at a strenuous job, so most weeknights when I come home, it's...
I know the feeling. I took a 4-year break from playing while I was in the Army, and I incurred quite a bit of rust in that time. I'm essentially reinventing my feet/double bass techniques. Back...
My real name is Kyle, and "Vhyle" is a metal-esque spinoff of that. I got the name one day because my old bassist said "None So Kyle", which is a spinoff of the Cryptopsy album None So Vile. So, I...
I'm gonna try to make my own triggers using this method. Do the piezo buzzers respond well with fast, continuous hits?
Someone had to say it.
Welcome to the forum, and to the expansive (and expensive) world of drums! I haven't been on here long, but there is a WEALTH of knowledge here. I've been playing 20 years now and I haven't looked...
I mount mine upside-down. I have a simple Sabian china.

Where did that come from?
Roland RT10K. I said 10KT earlier but that was incorrect.

If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it! :icon_mrgreen:
Reading that post again -
The trigger detects a strike through the shell itself and not the head?
Man, we had Iraconji practice last night, and I was playing like garbage. It was just one of those off nights. These last few days have been rough (some other stuff going on at the moment), and I...
Awesome replies everyone! Just what I was hoping for. I'm going to quickly reply to some points.
Yes - I used triggers to cut through the mix and it in a thrash/death metal band where all guitar...
I'm just using some Avia (I think?) running shoes from Wal-Mart. So far so good.
Necessity of triggers?
Well, I think that because the majority of the population on this forum probably doesn't play much metal, but that's just a very general observation. I haven't been a...
Been a long time since I've posted anything... been very busy with band stuff and work, of course. Iraconji is going awesome, and we're about to celebrate the release of our debut album in October....
For me, I attribute it to the fact that I rimshot the snare about 90% of the time. Been doing it for years.
I try to angle my crashes a bit towards the stick's favor, to lengthen the life of them...
Very interesting.
I bought a pair of the TX5AWs, just like yours, back in September for our show on the 26th.
I just broke them last band practice. So they lasted a bit over a month.
For me,...
We play fast metal, so I tend to push the tempo a bit. Typically in a band practice, we'll run through the set twice. We'll push the first set, so by then it comes time to play it the second time, we...
