I can’t seem to get them full even no matter what. Even though I’m pulling the speeds its still a thing at the back of my head that it would be easier an more consistent if they were fully even
I've released 7 original thrash metal songs, with song #8 dropping August 21. I'm currently interviewing a professional vocalist with touring experience and am looking for a pro-level thrash drummer to help build the project.
Requirements:
The goal is to build a serious, high-level thrash metal project with experienced musicians who are committed to learning the songs and playing live.
If this sounds like a good fit, send me a DM. Please include a little about your experience and any videos or recordings if you have them.
I am still learning to use OBS but starting to figure it out lol... need to clean up the guitar monitor ugh...
Who’s everyone’s favorite drummer of all time. Mine right now would be Travis Regnier of Spite or Matt Guglielmo of The Acacia Strain.
I need some advice for my first dd pedal
Right now I have a speed cobra hp910lwn and Im not sure if I should just buy the direct drive upgrade from acd for the speed cobra since its the cheapest option or if its smarter to save up a bit more and buy a fancy dd pedal..
Thanks in advance for any answers!
I'm going to explain this the best I can. I'm a novice drummer, and when I'm listening to songs I'm really good at finding the beat. The problem is I am never sure if the beat is in quarter notes or eighths. I feel like I can tap along with the beat 99% of the time but idk what to count with.
I'm attaching Kerosene by Thousand below. I can immediately identify the beat, but how do you tell what to count with? If I count in quarter notes the snare is always on 3. If I count in eights the snare is on 2 and 4 which feels more natural, but how can I be sure that's what they intended? And this applies to pretty much every song I listen to. Do I have to look up the sheet music? Or do I just assume the beat is in eighths because it puts the snare on 2 and 4? This kind of drives me crazy and would love some guidance.
Hey y’all. TLDR at bottom.
My band was right on the verge of finishing a few songs and being able to record. I got really depressed at one point and took a step back to try to recover, but right as I’m feeling ready to get back to it, I’m pretty sure I’ve developed carpal tunnel in my left forearm. I’m really beside myself right now.
Its not severe (yet) but I am really worried I’m totally screwed here. I play extreme metal, my band’s style is fast and technical. I think my job (typing a lot, sitting a lot, gripping my phone a lot) is probably the main culprit (this developed when i was taking a break from drumming, so at least my technique is not the culprit)
When I had issues with my foot, i was able to get a desk job and do PT and get back to playing at like 80% of where I was at. But carpal tunnel is totally different and it makes me think I’m fucking done for. I have to cook and do dishes and use my gd hands for everything.
I splinted for about 2 weeks and am night-splinting now and not drumming at all.
I know whats going to happen if I rush recovery, so im not pushing through. But I’ve been reading and i’m honestly worried that ill never make a full enough recovery to be playing the stuff I wrote ever again. I was crazy proud of the drum parts and song writing for an album ive been working on for a couple years now, and im crushed that i may not be able to do it. Not sure my bandmates will have the patience to wait for me.
TLDR: I’m pretty sure I have carpal tunnel (from my job, not my playing/technique) and I’m worried my extreme metal career is over. Am I just really dooming out over this right now or is it time to quit playing? I never thought I’d amount to much in life, and I was able to prove myself wrong by accomplishing things I never even dreamed I could (tours, musicians that I deeply respect finding and loving my music/playing, recording, etc). The psychological damage I feel right now is excruciating.
Here's my head cannon for *the part* in Dancing Like Flames from the Trilogy. I did a similar cover for Oblivion a while back go check it out here.

As I have mentioned before, Lorna songs have so much potential for BANGER cleans that would go hand in hand with Will's distortion.
There are a few layers I recorded myself that you'll be able to hear but not see since I was too lazy to edit them in the video. Also, I've sprinkled a lil bit of my drumming skills here, tribute to goat austin.
Lemme know how would you have done this differently/if you have any other head cannon for Pain Remains I or other LS songs
I recently bought the Vic-Firth SIH3. ive been a bit worried about my ears, cause i played with some random noise canceling headphones i bough for 15 euros, and put my earbuds at MAX volume, just so i can hear the music while playing, so yeah im trying to protect my ears.
Problem is, i still cant hear the music with those either. im not gonna pass the volume warning, that i think is 60%. ive tried putting some ear foam that i got for free at Thomman when i went there, but the music and the drums are lower, but still cant hear it.
idk if it affects anything but my room acoustic is AWFUL, my kit is in the attic and i got no way to put some foam around or anything.
I realy need help cause i dont wana go deaf, im still 14 😢
Anyone know how to tighten the unadjustable, brass beater holder on the Axis Longboards?
I recently bought a brand new pair and immediately upon first use this part came loose so now my right beater wobbles. Still haven't heard back from Axis. Any thoughts?
Hi everyone, I have an obsession lately (yet another one). I am absolutely in love with and obsessed by the drum sound you can hear on the Sepultura tom fills from the Schizophrenia album. You can clearly hear it at 1:53 on 'To the Wall' https://youtu.be/RjS-QHF3bdw?si=au5pIYbOWX3dw2f1 . According to my research, rototoms have a similar sound, but there's more resonance. Does anyone know how to achieve this sound? Is it audio processing like a flanger, etc., or just a percussion sound I'm not familiar with? Thanks in advance for your leads and help.
Hi folks - Nick Barker joined me again this week at the False Face to provide a DVD-style commentary track for his (and my) favourite Cradle of Filth release, Vempire.
I'm a drummer too and have wanted to do something like this for years, and I really went after the drumming angle when it came to this commentary track. Cradle of Filth may not be your cup of tea but his performance on the album is an all-timer - well worth a listen!
We also talk about his latest health troubles, his love of Rush (and what he thinks of Anika), and absolutely loads more. Motorhead, Slayer, Venom, Shane Embury and Napalm Death and loads more road stories. It's already a classic - no one tells 'em like Nick.
Last time I posted here was to share his longest interview ever - this one was actually even longet but we had to keep some stuff secret for future appearances.
Nick's GoFundMe is still live and he still needs help so consider sending him the price of a cup of coffee or a CD you listened to online for free.
He'll be back for more commentaries soon so get subscribed my friends - I've also got interviews coming up with guys from Akercocke, Fear Factory, At the Gates and loads more, plus the existing False Face archive of shows. It's be a stone cold gas to have you.
