Jeff Ocheltree:
Back in the days when there were only “roadies”, Jeff Ocheltree was the first person to start taking care of the drums in total from all aspects, therefore, the first “drum tech”.
He started his drum tech career with Bill Cobham and John Bonham and has also worked with Mark Craney, Lenny White, Steve Ferrone, & Steve Smith.
Taking drumsmith to another level, Jeff has designed bronze drums/drum kits for legendary drummers Carl Palmer, Alex Van Halen and the innovative Danny Carey. He co-created an art form by recycling Paiste cymbals and melting them down to make a bronze drum from a sand casted form and now is taking it one step further w/ the new TreeBronze drum.

[@kevindohn6776]

where could i get some felt like that ? I felt like it might be a good idea, ha ha !

[@chebidrums]

In the pharmacy

[@user-bc7lu6qb5l]

We did this to our snare drums in high school marching band to get a crispier sound only one pice across the middle of the top head or maybe it was the bottom many many years ago

[@KamenTeacher]

What strap did you use in this video?

[@user-bc7lu6qb5l]

Any foot pedal setting secrets

[@dgutierrez4]

Why are the felt strips put at the bottom?

[@keineideefureinennamen4474]

Two reasons. In the middle, they would be muffling the head too much, and on the bottom they are not as noticeable.

[@davidsweet7230]

Just wish the 14 tom didn't have 10 lugs.

[@TempoDrift1480]

"focus the sound"... 😂😂😂. Yeah okay.

[@z..k]
