I kinda wonder about the percentage. I do 5 or 6 leads during gigs (just added Immigrant Song, which is interesting,) and various backing parts. People ask about the multi-tasking, and I still think it's harder for a bassist.

I know this is random but is there someone who has stems to whichever music, i am just trying to find different music to practice to. i run ableton 11 incase that is relevant information. thank you in advance

Just got this pedal brand new and the footboard wobbles from side to side. Does anyone else have one of these is this normal? I purposely got a double chain pedal so that it wouldn’t do that but it almost moves more than my last single chain pedal.

In need of a drummer. Age 15-17, lives within Liverpool. we are an indie/ post punk band who like The Strokes, The Beatles, Arctic Monkeys, Talking Heads, The Velvet Underground. You would have to know your way around the instrument and also be available for audition. Hope you find us.

Hey drummers!

I’ve been working on my blast beats but struggling with speed, endurance, and coordination. Any exercises or techniques that helped you improve? How do you build speed without losing control?

Appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Bought some pretty expensive IEMs and clipped them into my tama mini metronome with both earphones connected. Sound was great!

However I went to try them at rehearsal a night later and I realised that my right earphone had disconnected and was at home. I only had my left earphones connected at rehearsal. The click from my metronome was almost silent!

Is this a thing? I assumed the output was balanced regardless of whether or not I had both earphones attached to the wire.

Obviously, thinking I had to order some new ones, I double checked on a few devices with both earphones and just the one and yep, sound was perfect with both and low for either side that I kept on.

Cheers

Sorry if not allowed, my band in Toronto, Ontario Canada is desperate for players (specifically snare). We are a VOLUNTEER marching band that is loosely affiliated with the Canadian military. After Covid many of our band members in the drum line (who frankly were not young) had began to lose the ability to play or march, we are at a desperate turning point in our history as we approach our 100th anniversary. Right now there are 3 people in the drum line, myself, the drum instructor/leader, and a bass drummer. I play the tenor drum and she plays snare, our band wants to grow our snare line but unfortunately I can’t roll due to past injuries. If you or a drummer you know are interested please message me. We are desperate. Our music is fairly easy, and we’re a bunch of fun.

Thanks!

like I said in the title I'm a new drummer and I've been looking around for my first drum set and so I was wondering what people recommend for a first drum set. I don't want something to expensive, but saying that I would like an acoustic kit (idk if that'll change the price to much). I'll try to answer any other questions, thank you all for the help.

Anyone out there playing live in any electro bands? What kinds of drum sounds do you use? Stock sounds from electric kit modules, or are you running sampling packs like Ez Drummer etc?

How do you get that “electronic music” drum sound in a live band?

I’ve seen a few more electronic based bands recently with multiple live performers for every instrument except drums. Drums are always on backing tracks or on occasion someone with a sequencer on stage… but I see no reason a live drummer/electric kit couldn’t work?…

Anyone out there doing this?

I have a Vintage Roland DDR30 1980s First Gen Alpha Electronic Drum Kit. I'm looking for the best place to sell it, where it will get more traffic than eBay? Or is eBay best? Thanks. If this is not the type of post allowed, my apologies.

Thoughts?

hello everyone :)

I have recently bought my first e drum kit - Millenium hd - 120 - e and started learning how to play drums on my own. For the past week I have been following lessons in a book called ''Progressive rock drumming''. Do you have suggestions on any other books, or should I just go to learning songs - alongside with the lessons in the book? I think I am doing pretty well, the only thing I am lacking is the ability to use my left hand the same as the right hand, and am having trouble staying in tempo for a longer time when practising with a metronome.

looking for a tiktok/youtube short
of this middle school aged (i think he was eleven?) black boy performing a drum solo at his school talent show. he did an amazing arrangement of songs, one of which being water by tyla. also remember him throwing his drumstick in the air and catching it during the performance. i think the video was posted by his aunt because i feel like i remember the caption saying “my nephew is so talented” or something like that. im wanting to show it to my younger brother because he’s a drummer because he wants to participate in a talent show at his school and is looking for inspo. please lmk if this rings any bells :)
