What do you mean don't gift someone a towel? Towels are the single most useful thing to have with you around the galaxy.

[@JulianArcher]

Lol!

[@helmetboy431]

the reference lmao

[@kubushbhalla7503]

Your videos are so professionally made with lots of effort, I don't know how you don't have more subs or views.

[@JulianArcher]

Kubush Bhalla Thank you for saying that! It means a lot to me. Slowly but surely!!

[@missingsock18]

Wow, I love these ideas--and they're all affordable. I never would have thought of dropping my splash cymbal onto a drum head or stacking it on another cymbal--that's genius and it was in front of my eyes the whole time. Your drumming is outstanding and the production quality of your video is commercial quality without feeling soul-less. Jesus, a towel? Why didn't I think of that? I used to put my leather wallet on the snare drum and that did a nice job of damping things, but now I have a plastic shell wallet so that's out. I especially liked the sound of the brass bells hanging off the cymbals--they seem to add depth to the sound. Thank you for a great video that makes me want to run down to the drums except that it's 12:09 a.m. and my family is asleep :)

[@JulianArcher]

Love this! Thanks for the great comment, and glad you enjoyed it! I can very much relate to the sudden inspiration to play drums past midnight lol!

[@Ds_Drums]

Thanks for posting th e vid. Very creative ways to add different colors to the kit. I enjoyed the demos and liked the cool grooves you were playing. Thanks again!

[@JulianArcher]

Thanks D!

Thanks so much Johnny! Glad you enjoyed it. Have a good one!

[@stenduginski2306]

Damn that drum sound in the first few seconds is on POINT. I want those sounds! Especially the kick, since I cant get mine to sound anything like that

[@sumabatman]

Love your vids bro

[@JulianArcher]

Thanks bro!! I appreciate you checking them out!

[@samlawrence7040]

[@JulianArcher]

[@iit4yhb]

[@legroupekaptur]

[@JulianArcher]

Thanks Kevin!!

[@battledonkey]

What's your left side ride? It's a beaut.

[@JulianArcher]

Thank you! It’s a Bosphorus Hammer Series 20”. Was actually Jeff Hamilton’s cymbal originally! Thanks for watching!

[@futureman69]

@@JulianArcher what about those hats...also Bosphorus?

[@mavao3875]

Awesome video! I would actually really love to see a video on your mic setup! The audio sounds killer.

[@JulianArcher]

I actually just posted a video on that this morning! :)

[@UPdan]

What would the seed shaker suspended within say mini bongos sound like? Suspended by wire to increase vibration. Played with brushes by hitting the bongo heads. Brushes ends pushed upwards for more attack and definition.

[@achabla]

beautiful! whats your cymbal set up?

[@King.Caveat]

Great suggestions dude. Thanks for providing links too. Quick question: that right-sided ride; what is that? Appreciate it. I realize you answered the left-sided ride Q below..

[@JulianArcher]

Jacob Hillery thanks man! The right side ride is a 20 inch dream dark matter “flat” ride (even though it has a small bell lol). I bought it at PASIC a while back. I also installed 3 bosphorus brass rivets into it!

[@MrDavidFitzgerald]

Love your cymbals. What are they?

[@Chamberswaang]

Once again, I just want to make sure where you got yours because I can’t find any reviews on the website and they are not backed by the Better Business Bureau

[@arthurbarbosa3557]

Perfect drum tuning Holly shit

[@JulianArcher]

Thank you man!! :)

[@DZNTZ]

Say, what are you recording with in this video? Sounds pretty good and I don’t see mics... Got me wondering! Thanks for the ideas btw

[@JulianArcher]

I was using the stereo mics on my zoom H6! They actually sound really good as drum overheads. Thanks for watching!

[@amauregia]

What hi hats are those? Nice sound.

[@JulianArcher]

Those are 15” Istanbul Agop Jazz Hats!

[@Millsmillsmills]

Those hihats are beautiful, what are they?

[@JulianArcher]

They are 15” Istanbul Agop Jazz Hi Hats

[@Chamberswaang]

Is that website where you got your string of bells? Like do you trust it? Is it legit?

[@JulianArcher]

No, this is not where I got mine. I got mine at a drum shop in denver, but they look exactly like the picture in this photo. If you find any other bell string online that looks like that, they should work! Sorry for the sketchy link.

[@DavidVega-jx8ks]

where’d u find the goat hoof shakers?

[@JulianArcher]

I actually found them in a children’s musical instrument bin in a music store. They weren’t even for sale, but I offered them ten bucks and got them. I would recommend looking online, and I also provided a link in the description of this video to some that I think look good!

[@Chamberswaang]

The link is no good anymore?! :/

[@JulianArcher]

Derrick Chamberlain you’re right, I’ll try to put a new one up

[@dylyncady8615]

Unfortunately it’s still not up, ive found some other ones but they are waaayyyy more expensive
