Drumming outside with my kick snare and hihat 😉

[@Rockin_Ross]

In my opinion, Kick/snare/hat is the best exercise for a drummer to develop their chops. The limited equipment forces you to be creative and not rely on gear to make up for lack of skill.

Throw a ride in for bell exercises and that’s all you really need to practice. I am an old school drummer and usually just play with 5pc set, sometimes just 4pc, 4 cymbals and hats. It also makes lugging it around a little easier. Unless drummers get backline for a show, we usually have the most things to put together and tear down.

[@flexprog3374]

This kit is sonically incredible. It is very snappy and percussion-like, you can nearly feel the impulsion it gives to the air. Also, each drum has a very distinctive and recognizable sound. The kick is a very clear and bassy but not muddy thud, the snare is loud and resonant as fuck but not overbearing and the hit-hat has that perfect sibilant sizzle. This could cut through any mix while still giving the space for every instrument, it is really masterfully crafted.

[@kurtpatterson1296]

That's because a lot of drummers don't understand the melodic possibilities of the tom Tom's on a drumkit.If you study West African djembe and dununs,you will see that tom Tom's are essentially dununs.The tom tom can be used to mirror and accent bass guitar and keyboard melody lines.Drumset tom toms are not just another drum to play fast double and triple time accents that have nothing to do with the other band instruments within the arrangement of a song.
