[@BrendonKPadjasek]

What do you think? Will you be looking into Counterkit for your drum solutions?

[@ryansibley7315]

the slawpiest hands in the business haha the aqueduct pedal sounds super cool

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Haha thanks for watching! I’m absolutely hooked on that pedal haha. It’s so friggen cool

[@tylermazza7590]

From the thumbnail I was like damn that looks like Brandon from Structures. Just picked up Counterkit yesterday and have been LOVING messing with these grooves

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

That’s awesome man. I’m loving the drum tones if you’re getting into mixing and stuff the raw tones are HUGE imo. Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more

[@リクーム-w5s]

I finally found greatest channel on KZbin!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Hahaha thank you! I really do appreciate that

[@ssblind73]

So sick! the song kicks ass

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks my man! Literally couldn't have done it without you haha

[@kirillbarr]

Drums and the guitar tone absolutely amazing

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thank you my friend! I spent years figuring these sounds out so I appreciate that!

[@kirillbarr]

@@BrendonKPadjasek Do you have plans to start producing bands?

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I’ve been producing bands many many years now. Are you looking for a producer/ mixing engineer?

[@adriengonzalesmusic]

The riffs are amazing, and that earthquaker pedal is something 🤩 excellent job man 👏🏻

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks Adrien! It was an interested process. Never tried to write a song in that short amount of time haha. Check out the pedal if you can! its great for leads and synths. And everything haha

[@adriengonzalesmusic]

@@BrendonKPadjasek that short time limit can help to boost your instant creativity and not overcomplicate things, it’s nice to sometimes switch between both writing methods 🙂 I will take a closer look at this pedal for sure 😎

[@trumancarter1299]

Yeah I'll most definitely grab this kit...killer job!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thank you Truman! It wouldn’t have turned out like this if Kyle didn’t kill it on his end. You’ll enjoy the sounds and grooves

[@TyroneStevens94]

[@izmeqfenner8130]

Sooo fucking good... Killer and groovy riffs man. Definitely a sub!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks Izmeq! Appreciate the kind words! I'll be posting every Tuesday so stay tuned!

[@gabrielbarbosa4366]

The drums sounds FUCKING SICK man Is that the original sound of the preset or you tweaked it?

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I definitely tweaked them. As always I take the raw drums and export each into a new channel in ableton or protools. That way I can mix them the way I intend. These raw tones are my favourite yet! Thanks for watching !

[@paperinosubliminalsbackupc1216]

Fortin NTS is The goat

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

It’s very good when I need that specific sound

[@behemoth7770]

What's the model of ibanez?

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I believe its the RG8. I got it in 2013 and swapped the stock pickups for Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient. Cheapest 8 string and the time and it outplayed the other, more expensive brands EASILY. Highly suggest it. It was the only guitar where I could actually hit the 24th fret with ease. Which is essential for my writing.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

THANKS FOR THE GREAT TONES!

[@DawzieY0]

Thank 4 comment u

[@joellopez3382]

The outro😂😂👌

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

haha thank you! Stay tuned for where it goes next.

[@ChopHarderAlchemist]

What was used for the main rhythm tone?

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

For this video I used the Plug-in Alliance Green Screamer into the UAD Diezel Herbert. I since finished the song and mixed it. For the mix I duplicated the guitar and on one track was STL Tonality Will Putney (for overall tone and definition), and the duplicate track was the Fortin Nameless (for cut and mid). And I did the same for the right side. Here's the video with the mixed version : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJvXZZmogbyCeM0

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any other questions
