[@HypeTheClean]

What’s up everyone! Leave your questions below for the Q&A episode coming up as well as any questions or comments you have about the episode!!! You’re awesome!!!!

[@geoffdeckman796]

Hey if you or any of the companies you do reviews for think they aren’t working, I’m just writing to tell you it does . I stumbled across your page last week and this was the first video I watched , long story short my new black corps pad just was delivered yesterday and it’s all because of this video. Very informative and I’m very happy with my purchase. Keep up the good work.

[@HypeTheClean]

Man thank you so much! I’ll be sure to pass this message on to the powers that be! I hope you enjoy the channel!

[@TheNoidTechno]

The black corps pad is literally an Offworld outlander molded in black plastic instead of red, with a different sticker. IP contracted OW to produce them with the IP logo. The outlander is a couple bucks cheaper, so if the color isn't a big deal for you, go with the Offworld pad since it's the exact same product.

[@HypeTheClean]

Wasn’t aware of this deal they had together. Nice.

[@vincentbuonora8477]

Nothing better than Drum Corps training. yet you could transmission your “touch” and play also excellent jazz on the set. Inspiring video!

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

I own the older red model gum rubber pad that really bounces. Found it on Ebay. Nice rebound compared to the newer pads. Guess the rubber is different?

[@HypeTheClean]

Not sure if the rubber is different. I can’t remember if I have the pad you’re talking about too. I have the white rimless pad but don’t think I have the red.

[@alexmok2]

Do you keep all the gear(practice pads, sticks, etc.) you get sent to review? If so, do you have a secret room that you keep them in?

[@That_Guy4381]

0:24 some day when I am older and have enough money I will get 12 red and 12 black

[@coolatta1]

What exercises/tips for practice could I use to help reduce tension in my playing when doing double stroke rolls primarily at louder dynamics mF and above?

[@HypeTheClean]

Wonderful question! I’ll be sure to cover this one!

[@Severen45]

Work on trying to play a double beat exercise like triplet partials at a faster tempo. Then keeping the same hand shape; play a legato check pattern (similar in technique to 8's/stick control) and add in the diddles trying to make good rhythms ie 32nd note diddles or 6-tuplet diddles.

[@noahgormanmusic1843]

They both sounded great, but which would you say feels more like an actual marching snare?

[@jacobtorres4540]

The black corps pad is

[@vincentbuonora8477]

Beautiful rudiments; nothing like Drum Corps training. I still bet you could transmission your touch and play equally great jazz around the set.

[@Severen45]

Where did you march? Under which instructors and what do you think of today's marching groups DCI/WGI?

[@HypeTheClean]

I didn’t march. For me though, I’m a fan of groups that play well first. I think the music and sounds produced should always come first since fundamentally, DCI & WGI are music based activities. Just my thoughts.

[@Severen45]

Yeah, I think so many lines forget that drums can be very melodic and they just want to play as many Flam variations as possible in 7-11 minutes.. Thanks for the reply. :)

[@santee49er8]

Does the black pad have the same feel of an invader pad?

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

Seems really similar. That's what I was thinking.

[@fletchermyhre7628]

Why do you love practice pads? Did you march in DCI and if so which corp.

[@HypeTheClean]

Hahhha. That first question is amazing!

[@fletchermyhre7628]

Also (not a q&a question) but what age do you think someone can start marching open class?

[@HypeTheClean]

I really don’t think this is an age based result. It’s all dependent on skill level. I’ve seen people age out in open class, and I’ve seen people go straight to world class. Just I know that’s vague, but it’s really skill based.

[@fletchermyhre7628]

Why I ask is because my percussion mentor said I should audition for the Colt Cadets and I am only an 8th grader and I just want know if it would be a good choice.

[@HypeTheClean]

It certainly wouldn’t hurt to gain that camp experience. It’ll open your eyes and mentality for sure.

[@allndoorz695]

I like the gum rubber but that like always that Exert was amazing 🏆👨🏾‍💻🥁

[@HypeTheClean]

Thank you man!! Appreciate that very much!

[@boualaphanlouanglath6074]

What’s a good not to pricey practice pad snare stand for a xymox that will be y’all enough for standing use

[@HypeTheClean]

The LSP-SS100 at LoneStarPercussion.com will probably do the job.

[@burgerbreh4720]

When did you get into percussion?

[@HypeTheClean]

Noted! I'll be sure to cover this question!

[@charitadriver8203]

i own a black core pad and it sounds great, i love it!

[@luistrevino3991]

Where can I get the older pad without a rim. Haven't been able to find one online. Would you be interested in selling the one you have. Let me know. Thanks.

[@HypeTheClean]

Yeah I don’t think you can find them anymore. And I’m not interested in selling mine. Sorry man!

[@drumcarpenter]

bruh... your soundcloud must be FIRE!

[@HypeTheClean]

Hahhaa...possibly maybe. Lol!

[@kns9835]

I love these vids so much

[@HypeTheClean]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!

[@Christian-pr6ft]

More of an opinion than a question but: tilted snares or flat top snares? And why? I prefer tilted just for the aesthetic reason. I think it looks a little more traditional. And it’s easier to hit left shots.

[@noahgormanmusic1843]

Flat looks more badass in the end HOWEVER tilted is way better for your left wrist

[@nielsemilbechnaumann]

but tilted looks stupid while playing with a carrier...

[@averybondeson3322]

So, the gum rubber gives you more rebound?

[@HypeTheClean]

Yup. At least I think so.

[@averybondeson3322]

@@HypeTheClean okay, thank you

[@HypeTheClean]

Anytime!

[@garrettcummins7261]

This guy needs more subs lol

[@realvdot]

Your playing bleeeeds Rennick 😂

[@HypeTheClean]

This my friend...is a compliment!

[@jasonescareno541]

I love your videos

[@swifty9208]

Have you ever marched tenor

[@HypeTheClean]

No sir. But I do teach it in my program. It’s a must!

[@That_Guy4381]

0:11 and 0:27 is what sums up this vid

[@frandadd6663]

Do a review on the Invader v3 or the shuttle

[@HypeTheClean]

In the process of making this happen!

[@DaDrummerDude-xw1iv]

Cn you do the BYOS Sticks?

[@HypeTheClean]

It’s on the list for sure.

[@jasonescareno541]

You should do drumslinger and ram pad

[@HypeTheClean]

Great suggestions!!!

[@TheLambmeoo]

Favorite dci show? I️ love you Daniel

[@HypeTheClean]

Great question! Thanks Liam!!! 😍😍

[@vincenthuizar5103]

hey how come sticks are held matched in Texas

[@HypeTheClean]

It’s all about preference. Not everyone does matched.

[@alexmok2]

Whoa it’s like a baby Invader V3

[@HypeTheClean]

Kinda...but I can't give too many details since I haven't played on a baby invader. Maybe soon!

[@mrnicknick02]

1.Are you going to start stick sound test with practice pad for a more neutral sound? 2.Favorite DCI show? 3.I want to start writing licks but I don't want it come off as hacking, anyway around that? 4.Have you marched anywhere indoor or outdoor? what years? 5.Beetle Pad review soon? 6. On that topic, offworld series review soon? 7.Any drum-set stuff coming up? 8.Who do you think is going to be in the DCI top 5 at finals? 9.Who were you routing for the Eagles or Patriots? 10.Last but not least, can you play The Lion King Lick?

[@HypeTheClean]

[@mrnicknick02]

Can't wait!

[@maxalvarado726]

do mike mcintosh marching sticks

[@HypeTheClean]

I know he’s moved from IP. Are you looking for those or for the new ones?

[@anthonyy.ontopp]

This guy looks like emc

[@pmumola]

Hi. Your skills are amazing. I just need to say with all due respect that even though you mention " no sponsors "it took 2:42 for you to get to the point. Too much introduction video. It took a lot to keep me here. I'm a self taught drummer and it shows. Many things that I did not teach myself that a teacher would have. Some of those things are, I play a righty kit but I'm a lefty. I didn't teach myself to alternate hands and now I'm struggling to catch up. I'm 59 years old. The other thing is trying to play traditional grip. I notice in this video that your left shoulder is considerably lower than your right and I'm wondering if that's a good thing for future posture issues? Again. You're amazing so please don't take this the wrong way.

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

With trad grip, you want to match fulcrum heights and not necessarily hand heights. In order to match the fulcrum height of your left hand, you might need to adjust other stuff in your right hand.

[@gemellityson]

Does anyone know this pad ? www.itbeats.it/en/video.php

[@HypeTheClean]

I’ve never seen this before. Looks interesting.

[@dylandestackelberg2695]

Yo I know this is a huge inconvenience but can you send me a pad... all of mine got stollen and I can’t afford another one yet
