Thanks Stranges! Sorry for the confusion. In the traditional decimal number 3,578...... 3 is in the thousands place.....5 is in the hundreds place, 7 is in the tens place, and 8 is in the ones place. I might have actually not used the term "placeholder" correctly technically, but that is the idea I was trying to convey. Thanks for the feedback!

@@markeveretts thanks for the reply dude, I'm trying to make sense of some midi implementation charts, not sure what some of the terminology means like "true number" in the description column, trying to setup program change for my tr8 drum machine in ableton.

Thanks! :)

Thanks Scott!! 🙂

Hey Frederic. I didn't know anything about the closed cell foam. But that makes sense. Our studios have a a dense rubber membrane (about 1/8") between the two layers of drywall, and I have seen some types of rolled lead or something used in that fashion as well.

Thanks dude! :)

Ha! Thanks dude! :)

Hey Chris! I use Final Cut Pro X. It's actually really similar to the process for doing the audio. After I make the "Song"....I export each audio track in to FCPX so I can easily see the transient of where each of the hits are for each instrument...and then basically make a video "sample" the that I drag and drop to match the audio track. It is a little tedious because you have to do that for each instrument...but actually isn't too bad if you are doing four bar loops and stuff because once you create the four bar pattern visually...you can option drag that whole sequence visually in FCPX the same way I demonstrated the four bar loop in ProTools. Make sense?

@@markeveretts Thanks for the reply! That does make sense. Abelton makes this sort of thing fairly easy with its video support. I was curious how you did it with Pro Tools

Thanks gabo! Yeah.....the jug is a lot of fun! A plastic water cooler jug can work, but sometimes they create more noise that is difficult to get rid of. Yes, the Tom mics are 421's. From a mix standpoint, i just did a little EQ and compression on the tracks.... all the weird stuff is happening from the mics and trippy toys. Thanks for checking it out and letting me know you dug it! :)

@@markeveretts Yes, it also (obviously) sparks my interest in trying many other things. I have a couple of weird shaped large vases that I will try and the "tube" thing is very interesting with many possibilities of what to point it to. The "distortion" pieces from amps in other rooms is difficult for me to do, but that is pretty easily done by duplicating room and ovh tracks and sending them through plugins. I've done some of this, but your video has gotten my creative juices flowing again. THANKS!

@@bowlingactually Awesome! Thank you! :)

Thanks dude! :)

hahahah! That's awesome! Thanks! :)

The glass ones have a high frequency ping you need to filter out, but I like that better than some of the weird cracks and unpleasant sounds that you can easily get from the plastic water jugs.

Thanks! :)

Hahaha! Thanks! Drummer's perspective or bust! :)

@@markeveretts Normally I'm 100% with you on that one! But it looks/sounds kinda funny when you hit your floor tom that is to the left (camera's perspective) and the sound comes from the right 😉

@@simonwelandermartinsen1372 Yeah, You're right....I didn't even think about that with the video this time around! :)

@@markeveretts Shit happens!

I didn't do anything specific...so technically they are perfect. I did a light sanding of them after I was done.

Turned out great 👍

@@petesbackbeats5193 Thank you! :)

Yep! Just 2 coats of clear coat spray on.

Yep!

Thank you lorvinko! Just spend as much time as you can playing singles, doubles, parradiddles, double parradiddles, and parradiddle-diddles. Keep your sticks in your hands as much as possible......watching tv, hanging out with friends, setting on the front porch.....sticks in the hands playing those basic rudiments. The rest will fall into place. Best of luck!

Thanks James!

Hi Jay! Thanks for the comment! The china is a circa 1990 K I bought new. It has an 8" A custom stacked on top of it and 16 rivets custom drilled. Also they are aluminum rivet from the hardware store, not the ones that are special for cymbals, those always seem to heavy for me. Otherwise, it's a A zildijan 20" ride from I think the 70's with a light/lamp bead thing on it to sizzle (again from the hardware store because I think the ones that are special made for cymbals are too heavy.) A 20" custom dark flat top ride, a 21" Special Dry Custom Ride, and the Hats are a 16 k EFX on top and a A custom on bottom. I stole the efx hat idea form Eric Harland. :) Thanks again for the comment!

Mark Everetts I'm positive the one with the rivets is the Zildjian Swish Knocker

jetsandals Hi Jetsandals! The labeling is actually still on it. It says 19" K Zildjian China Boy. The swish knockers said "swish knockers" on them and were much heavier than this cymbal is. I was never a fan of those. I'd post a pic for you but KZbin doesn't allow that. :)
