Thanks, Jeff! I will have to look into that 😉...

Thanks 😎

With the FP9 there is really no measurable "slack" while using straps. I just listed this is a possible downside towards direct drive pedals, but I really have no problems with that on the FP9.

@SimonSpringerMusic okay, that's great then. I really like these double pedals and these are on my list of the 3 I am choosing from! I love the look, the hardware, the beaters, and the fact it comes with different weights to slide under the beaters. But I still won't go back to strap drive double pedals. I believe you when you say you don't have trouble with the strap, but I believe I would. Great video though, thank you!!

@@MichaelBrown-x1q Thanks, Michael! And feel free to choose the chains (or direct drive) if you like them better!

@SimonSpringerMusic , ya I am going to compare before I buy one or another? Thank you!!

@ You're welcome 👍

Yeah but it's not linear. So there's that 😉...

Thanks 😎!!

Only tried a new wood Dyna (not vintage). I think it sounded way better than this thing right here 😉...

Thanks 🥳🙏!!

I cannot answer this since I never measure tunings. It's all by ear/feel...

Thank you 🥳☺!!

Nice 😎. What do you mean by "moongel UNDER your snarewires"??

@SimonSpringerMusic exactly that! Under the beed where the strands are connected too

@SimonSpringerMusic You can also loosen a nut in the drum, poke a hole in a moongel, put it on and then screw the nut in place. Oh. And while there, check tension on rest of your nuts! 🙏🏼

@@andreasjonsson8075 Interesting 🤔...

I don't know anything about his products...

Thank you 🙏!

Yes, bottom heads higher. Nothing specific here, I don't tune to certain pitches or so. Just trying to get nice intervals (4ths, 5ths...) between toms and snare adding up to a nice chord. More trial and error than "science".

Thanks 🥳! Always Ambassador 💪.

Thanks 🙏!! Funny you should say that - I just set it up in my practice space and that's the main kit I am using there right now. There will be more content on that kit for sure 💪!

Ohh, I have seen that video 😉...

I have less of an issue with the format of the video ( watched this one and the one reviewing a lesson from Mike Johnston) than I have with the some of the vitriol/comments being thrown around in the aftermath at Nate. I don't think that's really on Mr. Springer for creating this type of content, he has stated in his own video how much he appreciates and respects Nate and his channel. However just by the nature of the content shared this has opened a side of the community that is all to human but not as desirable to witness...maybe it's a good thing some of this stuff is coming to light, so then we address said issues and be better as a community.

Nice 😎

Bottom is pretty tight (around 3-4 half turns on every screw) and stays the same throughout all the demos. The top then does all the different tensions from super low to super high. I have no idea how much the tube lugs would actually change the sound, but I would assume the difference is rather small.

@@SimonSpringerMusic Thank you for your answer, greetings from Colombia!

@@danielbc-s3h Pleasure! Greetings from Vienna!

He is! Love his channel ❤.

That would have required more time and analysis than a first view reaction 😉. And that's what we're doing here... I totally agree with your thoughts. I, as many other viewers for sure, was just expecting a life changing warm up exercise. And that's the angle from which I critique the material.

Thanks and you will 💪😎.

As the solo exercise?

Thank you so much 🙏🥳!!

That's very similar to what I'm doing with the felt strip 👍. Thanks 🙏

As said in the video, I DO like his channel and most of his videos for that matter. I already explained in another comment that I am genuinely watching these videos for the first time on camera and I wanted this lesson to be great - but it disappointed me. I think this video is below his standards and as a teacher I find the information confusing. I am positve in the future I will critique another 80/20 lesson and it might be amazing... Best wishes to you, too

⁠@@SimonSpringerMusicif you like his channel and most of his videos, why did you pick this particular one which is below his standards to react to?

@@LixinQin I randomly picked it. As explained I wanted to react to something new and unseen. And that's what it was.

I guess some people take music more seriously than you do

@ so seriously that they have to put others down to feel good about themselves

he might be a good teacher, but his playing sounds absolutely awful.

Thanks for the edit and the time to fully check out my reaction videos 🙏. It's NOT about negativity here - or putting others down. Far from it! I want to help students dissect lesson material and filter it for great and maybe not so useful information. My intent is to mainly point out stuff that is awesome. I had nothing bad to say about the Mike Johnston lesson. It was a great video. And I do like 80/20's channel, I think he has some great content out there. Unfortunately this lesson here is below his normal standards, in my humble opinion. I am genuinely watching these videos for the first time on camera and I wanted this lesson to be great - but it disapointed me. I am sure in the future I will critique another 80/20 lesson and it might be amazing! But this here is what it is and I cannot change my genuine reaction and honest opinion. I hope that I was still able to be very respectful and as objective as possible and I will never be shaming or hating 80/20 or any other teacher. And about the clickbait: Yes, sure, we all do that 😅. No worries here 😉. I loved the sensational title and it made me excited for the video.
