    Discussion: Dark sounds

    Makes sense. Especially when I think of notes on a piano.

    Discussion: Dark sounds

    I would agree with your son. I generally tend to think of it as a sound with a lower pitch with some level of distortion, but it doesn't always have to be a low pitch. I wouldn't consider a very clean low pitch sound "dark" It's how the color black sounds hahaha

    Coated vs. Clear Heads

    I guess I should have said “try” the g14s or UV2s. I have yet to use them. I guess I was hoping for probably what you were hoping for in getting the open sound of a single ply with a little more durability. Evans describes them as “open” sounding with great sustain and volume.

    Coated vs. Clear Heads

    It’s just what happened. I’m not one of those drummers that takes pride in being a heavy hitter. The music I play is very loud and aggressive. Not sure if many of you can relate. I remember the first time I saw dented heads I thought of it as unmusical and that I would never do that, but here I...

    Coated vs. Clear Heads

    I recently switched from the evans onyx heads (they’re black coated) to clear EC2 and I regret it. I put some dents in the heads after just a couple times playing. I also play heavy rock/metal. The sound of the onyx heads is very dark. They project well and are very durable. I wanted a sound...

    Hi Hat Height

    I play mine fairly high. The reason is for looks and it also just feels right for the styles I’m playing (hard rock/heavy metal). If you play a lot of intricate hi hat stuff then you might want them lower, otherwise you’ll get used to the height difference and it will start to feel normal. I am...

    Do you control your own stage mix?

    Thanks for the info and suggestions, I’ll check those out. Definitely seems like the route I’ll need to go

    Do you control your own stage mix?

    Great question and answers. Playing hard rock and heavy metal I’ve had a lot of issues with properly hearing the rest of the band. I always ask for more more more in my wedge monitor, but once the band kicks off it turns to white noise. Larger stages are a little better. We’re saving up for...

    brass snare

    I agree that brass snares are are little more tricky to dial in. I'm still experimenting with the one I just got. So far a mid range tuning seems to suit my liking the best with the current Vintage Emperor head I had laying around. Cranked high it has very little sustain, but each drum is...

    Bring back Big Sizes!

    I feel your pain. My next kit will probably have to be some special order unless I get really lucky and find something used (I want big and small drums). Maybe just 8/10/12/16/24. Last time I was in my local drum shop I loved the technology of the drums, but none of them came close to my...

    The reason for the Gretsch sound?

    Yes. What you are describing is a result of the 30 degree bearing edge. More shell resonance, less head resonance, overall less sustain.
