The snare alone was more expensive than my entire guitar setup

[@1dudecrush]

Drums are expensive as shit. This was all "entry into pro level" stuff. Not even middle of the road of top end. A top end snare can cost what this entire set up cost alone if you go all in. And they didn't mention all the hardware. Just pedals.

[@ehsbe1056]

[@kyephillips5488]

Can someone explain to me please that intro to the art of dying I just do not understand it at all it's a polyrhythm but what is the pattern it is so mega its a joke

[@colinbentham6946]

Hey man. So the time signatures are 4/4, 2/4 and then a bar of 21/16. The easiest way to think about it is the first time the pattern goes through it's KKKS KKKS KKKS KKSKKSKKS, which is the 4/4 and 2/4. The second time round the pattern is the same except the last 3 16th notes (KKS) are dropped, which is the 21/16. He then adds a quarter note pulse over the top. Hope that makes sense dude!!

[@VOYAGEUR-YT]

@@colinbentham6946 That helps a bit but holy shit it's still mind boggling

[@colinbentham6946]

I know dude! Took me quite a while to get even remotely comfortable with it

[@DoctorKnotsDE]

So this is my simplictic not proper pattern for the intro stick taps, which once you get down the main beat makes more sense. 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 2 Also there's a really good vid on KZbin where a dude plays along with the sheet music which I think comes up if you search art of dying drums. I slowed the vid down and even screen shotted the music so I could refer back to it. Hope that helps 🤘🏼👽🤘🏼

Joe Rico agreed on the piccolo. Also use smaller cymbals like 15 and 16 crashes and 13 hi hats.

[@ATthemusician]

Just suggested that too! Specifically late 90s and the Animals EP. Drums on My Friend Fats is insane

[@ATthemusician]

Late 90s as in Tales From the Punchbowl, since Brain filled in for brown album to antipop

[@simmsdn]

Tama SLP drums are a steal! The snare is excellent, good choice. You got it pretty close, well done. Crashes and hats are fine, but like others note - Z Mega Bell Ride is critical. Nothing else sounds like it. I've had mine since 1993 (original Z, not Z Custom, Z3, or whatever they're trying to pass off these days).

[@pyroeuropa]

look at the description...whats a philosopher Bronze? Maybe the Walnut/birch would be a better alternative than the kapur? i mean it isn´t the same wood, but it has also die-cast hoops and walnut isnt that bright of a wood

[@colinbentham6946]

The Harry Potter signature 😂 (it's meant to read Phosphor)

[@Assimilator702]

Tailgunner Yes the new Walnut/Birch are VERY close to the Birch/Bubinga which are better drums than the Dynamic Kapur. Kanpur is nothing special and is a common timber wood in Malaysia and Indonesia. People think it’s exotic because Yamaha uses it in the Phoenix drums but it’s not due to its “sonic” properties but due to its density and the way it excites the surrounding woods in the shell. You’ll notice that Tama does have a Star Walnut kit in their catalog and several Walnut drums. Kapur is relegated to the budget end.

It's more a reference to the part I learned as it's slightly faster than the album and has the weird close to the section that still makes no sense haha

[@theDeathJoy]

Sorry but your research is far off: - He uses 12-13-16-22. Always has. Whether it be his Superstar Classic, Starclassic Bubinga or Star Bubinga. - The Z3 cymbals are rebranded into A Custom. Exact same model, just a different logo/categorisation. - The bell he used in the earlier days is a Sabian HH 9" (or possibly 8") Radia Cup Chime. There was no stack. - He later on used a varying 10" splash. A Custom Rezo during L'enfant Sauvage and a regular A Custom thereafter. - His chinas varied a lot. The Z3s you mentioned are equal to the A Custom 20" and A Ultra Hammered 19/21". He also use(d) Z Custom 20", Oriental Trash 20", K Custom Hybrid 19" and a Paiste Dimensions Thin in the early days. - The key signature in his sound is a Mega Bell. He uses an A currently, but used Z3 and Z Custom as well. Z3 is equal to A, but the Z Custom was less washy. The Art Of Dying rhythm was executed nicely! Well done!

[@thesneakygamer4343]

Super low drums typically sound dead on their own but sound good in a heavy mix.

[@centralscrutinizer8571]

Some of that could be down to the drums themselves. Short stack toms don't have very much body. One of the reasons I find their current presence in heavy music somewhat perplexing.

[@Assimilator702]

You guys would have been better off going with a Gretch Solid snares. The Solid Steel or Bell Brass would have been a closer approximation to Mario’s sound. The Phosphur Bronze is a standout in that lineup but also the most expensive. I hear Mario actually used a Birch/ Bubinga kit in the studio in the last album. You would have been closer simply going with a Birch kit and used some EQ.

Watch through and we explain why we didn't.

[@colinbentham6946]
