Fantastic video! Always love this channel, and love Brandon, too. Brandon, does your course cover both grips, and heel down a well as heel up? One of my biggest issues is hi hat placement because I play trad grip, and I"m super short - the snare needs to be a bit higher and tilted for trad grip, but since I'm short, the hats are really close to the snare and that's not great. If I raise them, my arm is up in the air too high for comfort. So I drifted towards playing the ride more, because it felt more natural. I would love to know if your course covers ergonomics for all playing styles! Thanks so much!

That was really great. Ergonomics have been in the back of my mind for the longest time. I alter my set up from time to time but even after decades of drumming I am not convinced I have the ideal set up. Lots of great info and you have me putting this top of mind.

Im pretty sure from 2008 to current day, he changed the tom heads to clear ones and the hihat to the Sabian one when they hit record. In the studio footage you can see a few instances where theres more mics than usual and the sabian and clear tom heads. The setup with coated heads and the zildijan hats are for practicing

Snare muffler is one of those that clips to the hoop, they still make them, i have one. Instead of zooming into his junk on his table, his sweat snd sweat band how about zooming into see his cymbal models and sizes?

Theres a picture floating around of Lars recording Reload in 1997 with the silverspark kit he used live between 1996-2000. I wonder if all the songs werent done in 95-96 and they recorder a couple songs in 97 with that silver kit or was that picture just from the rehealsals.

Ergonomics - the efficient relationship of the person to the machine. I wonder if Brandon has talked with Dave Elitch before.

Thanks Bart and Brandon for your analysis of drum set ergonomics. To save yourself from injury and heartache later on this should be taught at a beginner's drum set lesson.❤

I’m from that table top flat drums and high cymbals time period……. lol my cymbals aren’t high anymore, but my drums are still pretty flat. I can play for hours and feel 100% comfortable….🤷🏼‍♂️

This approach to my setup over 5 years has been nothing but rewarding. Enjoy the process

I am an open handed player and I will never go back to cross.

As always, really interesting episode. I really hurt myself playing incorrectly (ergonomically), without realizing it, I slowly injured my shoulder tendons. All drummers should watch this video.

I have been rack mounting my 16 floor tom since the 90s. That way I could reach the 18 better. Bigger drums, bigger sound.

Buddy's contract with Harry James was $1500.. when they were on the road and 800 per week when they stayed in Vegas.

Was the silver sparkle StarClassic used in any recording? The stills show it in use while they're auditioning Rob, which would have been after recording was complete. I wonder if that kit came in for the purpose of getting ready to tour, and to do promotional stuff, like the Raiders game performance...

I never understood why Alex doesnt get appreciated as much as Eddie. Clearly he is virtuoso himself.

With Gretsch NITRON means it's a wrap. That doesn't look like a wrap to me, so it's a black stain. Gretsch uses a nitocelulose which is a lacquer like violins use and most companies don't use.

In Lars first infamous modern drummer interview he said Fleming was an expert at punching him in. If you've ever seen some kind of monster and the recording of st anger, he seems like he hates recording and they cut and paste a lot. Basically, no he's not great in the studio. I remember him saying there are certain songs he CAN'T play live and they never have because he's not capable.

Whatever he used to record ride the lightning was obvious a rental or a house studio kit in Denmark 🇩🇰 where they recorded. Maybe the drummer for merciful fate's set? Idk. Obviously he didn't bring a set from American.

Nice interview. That was Fred Astaire dancing and playing the drums, not Bing Crosby.

They didn’t “write” anything for Garage Dayz, it was all cover tunes! 😂

I have to say, it's interesting for me to revisit this video after so much has happened regarding Alex over the last year. Bart had plans to make these episodes well before either of us knew that Alex was going to write a book and before Alex decided to have his massive auction of gear from over the years. This particular episode was filmed in January of last year and While I am pretty happy that most of the information is accurate, I have learned several things since this has come out. One of the biggest things I learned was that Alex's first Ludwig set was indeed bought in 1970 and Alex bought it right after he quit the machine shop that nearly took a finger of his off on his left hand. Alex says in his book that he bought the set at Village Music in Sierra Madre California and paid $1000.00 for it. He says that he made a dollar an hour at the machine shop and he paid the proprietor of the store, Mr Shephard 1000 one dollar bills as that stack of money represented 1000 hours of his life. Alex also says he still has the set so it's possible the set was only on loan at the Hard Rock cafe? The other surprise I learned, which came by way of the auction is that the set did not come with a 26' bass drum. It actually came with a 22 as alex sold that lone drum in the recent auction. All those old pics pre-1975 I had been looking at were 22" and 24" bass drums. The 26 must have come later around 1975 as he mentions getting a 26 around this time. It's also likely the bass drum purchase coincided with when he acquired the first 6.5x14 supersensitive. I also had known he had a water skiing accident, which is what has been the root of his neck/back problems for many years. What I did not know is when the accident happened. I had heard stories of it being sometime in the late 80's but there had never been any details, at least that I knew of where he talked about it. In the book, Alex says accident happened in 1979 when his tech Greg was whipping him around at 60mph. Alex said he broke his neck and it never healed correctly. That explains a few things. Alex did also confirm in a recent interview I heard that he was playing Zildjian cymbals in the early days. I'm just glad that some of this information has been brought to light now.

When Neil retired from drumming in 2015 he got a job as a librarian at a grade school.

The picture of the drums on the floating dock. Some believe it was a F&$# you to the bullies that wouldn't let Neil onto a floating dock at a lake when he was 10 yrs old. He nearly drowned but was saved by his friend swimming under water forcing Neil to the surface. Kit Jarvis and Neil became life long friends. Kit was Nels hero.

The stainless kit was always my favorite one. Something to touch on: Tama Octobans were always 6” in diameter. Still are to this day. The ones off to the side above his floor toms are 8” diameter. So are these clear Cannon toms? They made their own tube drums back in the day as well. And to go deeper, those 8” diameter drums had Tama hardware on them. So did he take off the original hardware- because Cannon had their own design, or what? Also, 2 clear 8” diameter drums were in front of the black and white Vistalite kit used in the Fair Warning tour, not 6” diameter. So the mystery is who made the 8” diameter drums? Would love some info on this!

The purple Ludwig is my favorite. The Ludwig sound is probably my favorite. Want to ask the masses of Neil devoted a question. The black and white picture at 1:15:45. Look at the spurs on the two main bass drums. Especially the aux .They are different. Even looking at the drums the sizes seem different. But, the spurs on the aux. bass drum seem like a fold out type of U, like, a wing, that folded out from the drum. Curious what anyone else thinks.

I'm no expert on Neil's drum hardware history, but I ran across an interview with an individual who grew up with him, and he said that the first drum set Neil got didn't have a floor tom. The pic of the kit you showed had a floor tom. May want to look in to that?

17:39 Hello fellow Primate!

Thanks for this, I am preparing for an interview at the company and a few of your episodes helped me learn a lot. I know it is a long shot, my interview is in two days - maybe you have some more tips? Hahahahh ;D best wishes!

Even if its not a Lars kit, still give it to him because he has very little in life except money, art collection, career, model girlfriend, band, cars, a yacht, mansion, a Hetfeild, tennis elbow...

If camco was made by tama, I don’t know it at the time but I had a matching 6.5 wood snare with the inlay in the middle that matched those toms

This is from late Feb 1979

Clyde the best drummer that ever lived

This was Great, Gene was my first influence as a Drummer, and I had learned over the years that I followed him, a lot of what was in the movie was wrong in regard to him being a drug user. I always admired Gene as a person and as the great Talented drummer he was. Thanks for this.😎

Listen to Bonzo also waltzes

Before I listen... .awesome already

Cool and funny guys! Bart I just thought since your interviewed the bald guys maybe you'd want to interview Adam Morford from Morfbeats? He makes cool and weird instruments as well!

aaaand the released episode of his own about it :)

Hmmm, I know where/who Mike "borrowed" his ideas from....

I had a Tour custom in jazz sizes ad a practice kit in my garage for years, bought it around 2010. Just switched it to a Stage custom about the same age, but with a 20" kick and four toms, so it's more all around. I know it's almost entry level stuff, but they sound great! Back in 2010 Tour and Stage were basically the same price, but nowadays Stage are around half the price of Stage.

While I adore and enjoy Danny's energy, I love Mike's DRY sense of humor. What a great couple of Gentlemen

Cannot thank you two enough, but Paul, man, you bloody legend! (that’s a compliment here in Australia 😉) Mind you, you two are costing me a fortune - Tony cd orders will be coming in for months! And respectfully, courageous Colleen; no wonder Tony played like he had somewhere else to be! I’m so inspired by your efforts guys, and by Tony, every day. THANK YOU!

FANTASTIC EPISODE GUYS! THANK YOU!!

Great interview 👌🎼🎶🎵☮️

I love those frying pan e drums look , they realy are mad scientist of Electronic Music .

Can confirm: my DW kit does not have reinforcement rings.

I saw a Tivoli set for sale once at a small local drum shop in the greater Cincinnati area back in the early-mid 1990’s. All the lights still worked and it looked brand new. I haven’t seen another one since.
