Can the folks watching hear the backtrack?

[@demonicsweaters]

@@as48507 No, they could only hear the drums, haha.

[@tomd1690]

Great playing! Looks like a fun little scene there with a beautiful day to do it. I bet you've inspired that young lady snare player. Well done!

[@demonicsweaters]

Thank you!

[@Blanedayillestinthegame]

Man you might just have a new subscriber I really enjoy watching how smooth your technique is and I look forward to learning more from you

[@demonicsweaters]

Thank you!

[@AP530]

Hydro sounds great. Cool tracks once again

[@demonicsweaters]

Thank you!

[@AndxRev]

Sweet!!!

[@vincegomez1212]

Very inspiring, thank you!

[@demonicsweaters]

Thanks very much!

[@yardsalePDX]

Oh man, nice one Justin! Rad song, love hearing such awesome beats on such a simple kit, goes to show it’s not how many drums you have, it’s how you use them 😜 Love seeing all the park kiddos entranced by your grooves too haha

[@demonicsweaters]

Thanks Matt!

[@RadioMartyT1B]

Great stuff, DS....but it's been a while since you dropped some Linux audio tuts. Those were very informative and helpful to me personally. More please!

[@Havasu1976]

AWESOME

[@fuglong]

This is sick! Absolutely love the track as well as the drums. Did you write this?

[@demonicsweaters]

Thank you 🙏 yep, it’s original.

[@rockstarjazzcat]

🙌🏻

[@outofround9373]

Awesome! Is that cymbal arm on the Club Jam Mini drilled in place or is it removable? Just curious since I set up lefty and I would need to put it on the other side if I were to someday get one of these Tamas.

[@demonicsweaters]

It is screwed in. But I bet you could custom order a lefty one from Tama. It might take them a year, but they'd probably do it. Or you could just move it yourself and plug the old holes.

[@outofround9373]

@@demonicsweaters Thanks!

[@demonicsweaters]

@@outofround9373 Weird, I replied to this two more times, but it's not showing. I realized all you'd need to do is flip the spurs and heads around, no need to drill or unscrew anything!

[@Mickey_McD]

That's a great idea and a lot of fun. Is the backing track one of your compositions?

[@demonicsweaters]

Thank you, yep. Always originals ;)

[@brettgomberg3448]

What cymbals are you using?

[@demonicsweaters]

In this vid, Paiste PST 7 14" Light Hats, Paiste 502 Plus 20" Ride.

[@brettgomberg3448]

Thank you! I love your videos with minimalist set ups. I used them and some other inspiration to build a small suitcase kit.

[@demonicsweaters]

@@brettgomberg3448 Nice, that's cool!

[@Acoustic2Electronic]

Nice playing as always man. Question! How are you recording the audio from the kit? I don't see any mics or an EAD-10 hidden anywhere.

[@demonicsweaters]

Thanks! The iPad on my right is recording one track and the stereo mic on the camera another. Mixed in Ableton.

[@totigerus]

@@demonicsweaters This sounded really good. Cool song too. Vibes man. Vibes.

[@demonicsweaters]

@@totigerus thanks!

[@CupRamen-j8o]

You should have 2 bass drums for the look.

[@demonicsweaters]

haha, that would be more to carry though lol

[@NintenDub]

But the crowd hears no backing track? Thats kinda lame (for them)

[@demonicsweaters]

Well yeah, but it would make it much more difficult to do. 1. I'd need a permit. Oddly you're allowed to play drums basically anywhere you want in NYC without a permit, but if you want to use a speaker then you need one. 2. Also, it'd be much harder to get a good drum recording with minimal mics the way I do now.

[@NintenDub]

Next time, get some audio of the surround area, from further away, and just cut to a shot of people on about their day than cut back to the track
