PLAYING A CHEAP DRUM WORTH $60 UNBELIEVABLE 😳 😱

Being a fantastic drummer has nothing to do with you having the best of drums to play with but that’s is not to say having a good gear is bad but at some point in life we all just have to be used to what can bring the best out of us any giving opportunity and am glad my friend and brother did justice to that narrative

This guy was standing there with his hand on his chin listening as I was to the building and weaving of sounds. It was an experience, not just a groove. Like listening to a story being told on drums.

This is exactly how I learned to drum. Kick, snare, hats n a ride, in the dirt, with something heavy to hold the kick in place. Usually a big rock. I wasn't allowed to play in the house, so I mostly went to the river or up the mountains. It's a great way to learn, working with just the basics. This guy is a prime example of that. 👏🍻✌️🇨🇦

Better yet they should just give full finished kits to people you know gots the skills, they just dont have the means to afford it. DW and all the rest of the big companies that produce there products in such an abundance.should be giving away there best kits to poor people with talents like this guy. For big companies like DW and the rest of them should be doing this and not because it's charatable but because it's just the right thing to do. What's the point in having all those riches and still not do anything honorable with it.

[@dreddmann9292]

When I say abundance I mean these companies produce in a ridiculous abundance. A good top of the line brand new built to last Tom bracket alone cost $50 or even more, thats just for 1, in most countries that 50 dollars can feed a whole family for a whole month. These days it seems that people just don't know how to give. Nothing feels better than giving someone sonething you know you have more than enough of it on your own. The whole point in creating abundance is so that everybody can get it. Giving to charity is really not the spirit of giving, especially when you know it's just a tax right off. Wealthy people don't want to give and they definitely don't want to share, its no wonder why the homeless are starting to camp out in rich neighborhoods. If I was forced to live on the streets I'm not gojng set camp in a shitty neighborhood, I'm gojng to post up my tent and lay somewhere nice clean and comfortable.

After 40yrs in the music industry I learned that talent is a misnomer. Anyone can learn anything, some take longer, some get it quickly. The word 'talent' should be replaced with Passion. Thats what really makes someone great! The ones it comes easy to are usually jerks. The ones who work at it are always humble and share the knowledge with others who wish to learn.

[@MarrowPercussion]

Nice drumming straight from the heart keep going brother!

[@darrylchabot2514]

reminds me of when I was kid. My dad (a drummer) split on my fam when I was around 11 or 12. He didn't leave me anything but I did find a broken ludwig speedking pedal , 3 broken cymbals, and two broken cymbal stands along with probably the cheapest snare drum I've ever seen ...all in this box in the garage. So I took my little tv nightstand, fastened the kick pedal to a broken skateboard and placed it so the beater would hit the back of the tv stand. that was my kick. put two broken cymbals together for the hats and had the other for the crash/ride. This was late 90's so , without the internet as a resource I didn't have a way of learning what "multitracking" was, but I figured out that I could record a drum beat using a cheap boombox, then play my drum recording off the boombox while playing guitar to it. if I came up with something good, I would get another boom box and record both myself playing guitar along to my "drum boombox" . Now that you can basically make a record on your cellphone, none of these means anything.lol.

[@jareddoran6605]

DW, Pearl, and Tama. All overrated as hell, with cult-like followings, and way overpriced for what you end up getting at the end of the day. I'll take a Ludwig kit, Mapex kit, a kit from a small builder, or build my own drums, before I fork out ~$6k for any similar specced DW/Pearl/Tama kit. Hell, even Sonor is astronomically overpriced. Any drum will work fine, as long as the shell is intact, and the hardware is in good shape. Heads, tuning, and the drummer, will have a much bigger impact on the sound, than the name printed on the bass drum head.

sometimes.. i once had a ultra shitty 20 year olddrum, in a wet room, with much reverb. Im telling you there is a point where its totally uninspiring, i literally didnt wanna play nomore with that setup. And im passionate since i started. I feel Drums are some of the worst sounding Instruments in most cases. Miked it sounds a bit better, but acoustically from a distance , shit.. I wished my whole live to one day play in a god drum, and never managed to get it even close to right, i dont know why (i know technically all the problems like room, the choice of the drum, positioning.. dont even start with tuning). So, i think its not often the case that drums are good enough for people to really devellop propperly. Per example Ghostnotes are on many drums sounding like nonexistent, the ringing and Snare-noise often lets them go under. The kick is often not resonating like BOOOM, and instead just sounds like noise.. I had played my whole live like this. The one day i played on a good tunded drum in a store, wich was itselve rare to hear, was everything for me, man would i play this thing loud and looong.
