Playing bass drum standing up? Murder on the standing leg, surely?

Listening to the song, finding fundamental grooves, playing quietly, keeping good time, using Occam's Razor (The simplest solution is usually the correct one), and having a very wide range of musical tastes.

Carter Mac did a very interesting trial of different mics recording his whole kit with a single mic. All a question of position! Can't remember if it was youtube or instagram.

Read a highly convincing theory on DW - that shells aren't supposed to resonate, they're supposed to be as rigid as possible so that the HEAD can do its job and resonate...

Classy ⭐️

I'm seeing birch bark rather than mint.

I think it's a great record.

🫣!! Did you do 'Free Falling', by any chance?

This popped up yesterday - and the bass drum blew me away. Never heard it through headphones before - I heartily recommend it!

Thankyou, man 🙂

I realise this thread is about specific drum 'sound' - but, creatively, this to me is a bass drum used as the foundation, warmth and soul of a song. Whatever the acoustic quality of the drum/ recording is - that's what I aspire to. ❤️ To my shame, I can't recall the drummer's name. 😳

Even that triggered, clicking effect they use on modern metal? Why oh why oh why did anyone decide that should be a thing? 😳

The drummer didn't. Just a parachute.

Kewl! (I hadn't noticed there were no hats!) I used to play like that at open mics to save space. What style of music are you playing?

Top Marks to the set designers! Health And Safety, not so much.
