Drum Tech POV | Starting a New Gig

New gig. Same job. Enjoy the video everyone! S2FC gang gang

Already missed that "Hey! One Two!" guy

[@shayhayden]

Same. And: Go for show, go for show

[@boogiedaddy3434]

lmao, as the video started I was wondering if we would get a new one. I have seen a couple other guys do it during check, but wasn't sure if it was really a standard thing or not.

[@chrislaplante7102]

Hahahaha

[@Laherencianorteñadeslp5357]

To bad to sad

[@AjSours]

That's crazy, I went to the ADTR show in Toronto on Tuesday and during the changeover after The Story So Far, the drum tech did very similar checking to what I've seen in your videos and thought to myself "hmmm why does this dude look like Matt Horn".... Go figure lmao

Congrats on the new gig Matt. While it's a shame we don't have the Relic and Cowbell anymore, we now have the Chicken and The Little Guy.

Shout out to the lil guy for being a hero and sounding great regardless of his shortcomings

[@chrispendleton6830]

Dude......I admit that (shamefully) after being a drummer for 44 years that I had NEVER heard of Snare Weight until I started following your channel. I ordered a couple of each size and LOVE them! Thanks for that.

[@mrr8682]

watching these drum tech video's made me realize the perfections we worry about as little guys are nothing at the big time because you can't even hear them since it's so f**king loud!!!

[@stevolene]

Imma have to google it myself

[@kriisak]

Second that, I had to order them snare weights too and they are great!

[@stevolene]

Still don’t know what a snare weight is , unless it’s a heavy bag sitting on the stand to keep it from walking away, anxiously awaiting the next episode

[@ratatat9790]

@@mrr8682 There's no apostrophe in 'videos'.

[@TheExiledTexan]

Snareweight ought to just endorse you at this point. You've made true believers out of your artists and subscribers both. I bought a few M80s myself, and judging from the comments, apparently I'm not the only one who's come to love them.

[@nothing000]

[@embracehorizons]

Paul seems like a really cool dude to work with. My advice for those tension rods is buy a tap and die for the thread pitch of the tension rods. Dip the tension rods in oil and then run the die on them. Test the fit, if that doesn't do it, dip the tap in oil and VERY CAREFULLY run the tap into the lugs. 1 full rotation clockwise to cut, then 1 half rotation counterclockwise to break the string of material the tap is cutting. After 4 or 5 full rotations, back the tap all the way out of the hole and blow the hole out with a can of air duster or an air wand on an air compressor fed line. I would check the fit here as well because you might not need to run the tap all the way to the bottom of the hole if the threads aren't already too damaged. The most common thread pitch for tension rods is a #12-24tpi. S2F crew dawg 😂😂😂

[@apexmapping]

^This^ ...it seems like every set of COB tube lugs I've had needed this done.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

The snare needing yet another dampener DURING the show is just too classic. That head is cursed!😂

[@tombyrnerocks]

Start to Finish Crew checking in! New tour, new kit, same top draw content! Well done Matt! Season 2 off to a flyer..... 😁

[@Master0fMayhem]

same, so stoked!

Hell yeah see ya there!

[@user-gu5ss2cu5f]

It's probably a special kind of "perversion", watching you prepare a drum kit for a performance for almost an hour! I like it!

[@jbratt1091]

It’s very relaxing to watch other people work…

[@1961timmy]

I’m OAF, a little old school metal head, pantera, Black Sabbath, so on and on but watching Matt has introduced me to newer bands, Falling in reverse and a day to remember, thanks for the videos and keep em coming

[@mrr8682]

IF the Abbott brothers were still around they would really have to up their stage money these days..... looking back at old Pantera days to the New modern times.. (Lights, Pyro, throwing shit at the crowd instead of them throwing bottles at you)

[@walkerm777]

I'm 66 now. Been a drummer since I was 8. I never went pro. But I have to give coodoes to you and all these people doing all this work. Not only the setup, but the take down. Crazy

[@bernardowens1648]

I'm a 66 year old drummer myself!! I did a bunch of paying and non-paying gigs(Open Mic Nite's) at area bars and clubs over the last 13 years. Covid slowed down the shows and my health stopped me from doing music. I miss it terribly. Thank you to the creator of this vid!!! Would have loved to have been a "Tech" in my 20s and 30s!!

[@Fadamor]

STF guy here. Another band, another gig, another excellent behind the scenes video, Matt! Rock On! (devil horns, banging head, and.... can't think of any additional heavy rock tropes at the moment) 🥁

[@closinginonclosure]

50:36 "And we have confetti cannons" ADTR loves their confetti. You can see the beginning of show confetti at 45:00 as well. ADTR has always valued production and always have a fun live show with tons of bells and whistles. Especially headline tours with venues that allow and can accommodate all of the production they want. I appreciate the production and even the little things like them tossing out TP or T shirts, or how Jeremy used to go out and crowd surf in the human hamster ball. Haha

[@user-ch8ku6qe3x]

Haha knew it was ADTR when I saw the thumbnail “right back at it again” nice job on the new gig man. S2FC LFG

[@strange_horse_art]

Start to finish again! Nice to see other kit and zildjian! Good to hear your feelings about different stuff! Thanks for this evasion hour and cheers from Belgium !🎉

[@riyuiwashere]

it still wonders me that a lot of people are switching to Evans and ADTR drummer is still using Remo man

I own a small/medium sized audio and lighting production company, so yeah, I'm a start to finish guy. Unload, setup, most times mix audio, occasionally run lights, strike and reload a 26' box truck every show! Cool videos. Always love seeing what others are doing in the production world. Discovering new ideas and ways of doing things. Thanks for sharing Matt!!

[@kristophershinn4420]

No doubt tuning this kit up is more of a challenge than Luke's DW kit, but you nailed it once again. Nice work, Matt!

[@erikr6101]

There really is nothing better than sound checking a drum kit on full PA in an empty venue!

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Agreed. Used to work as a hand in college in the 80’s and hearing (and feeling) a huge PA go from near silence to 105db in an instant is awesome. And sometimes hear the level of slapback and know it’s going to be a tough show to get right. I’ve almost got my home stereo to that level of dynamic range with that attack and slew rate but it cost a fortune. It takes a lot of good power. Then you figure out who mixes their records with dynamic range and who just compresses the hell out of everything. Sadly, the compress it till the scope looks like a bar of butter is winning these days.

glad you were strong and took the juice instead of DC... looks like you'll be busting ass this season!! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!!
