Testing 14 Drum Gadgets You've Always Wondered About - Jared Falk

[@willschultz4470]

It's nice to see that Jared also uses his floor tom as a table!

[@PeterParker-do5pv]

Who don't?

[@KayZee1957]

Years ago, I realized that's the only thing I used my 18" for so I started leaving it at home and added a high tom to the rack toms since I found I enjoyed the higher voice and liked having the drums in front of me ergonimically.

[@sorrito7]

Whoever doesn’t use their floor toms I’m accepting donations to start my acoustic kit lol 😂

[@BetweenTheBuriedAndD]

What else would you use it for?

[@Barefoot_Joe]

What's a floor tom? I see a place to put tea and toast

[@namenamename390]

"Yeah, I need that 4th Tom." "What? I have never seen you play with a second floor Tom" "Yeah, but I need somewhere to put my coffee."

[@tmbottegal]

I have a 4th tom, still don't know why I wanted it.

[@dilshadthedrummer]

lol

[@ChristianSandviknes]

@@tmbottegal I have seven toms. Wanted it so my kit would be epic. I regularly use six - but the last was just for vanity, so I guess no matter how many toms you have - you always have one you don't use.

with chops & no clue about what a slap-stick is or how it's played. Drummers v. Percussionists I guess.

[@andrewfrench7522]

Not reading instructions to the dial or the torque tool, not knowing how to play the slapstick, not using the "tie" on the hi-hat, rubbing the kick drum grip feet on the floor using your hand.... If people have worked hard to design a product that could help or entertain drummers, and you decide to "review" them, you should understand the exposure your review will get due to your number of followers and ensure the trials of the product, even for a few seconds, is being done with a little bit of care and is considered properly before giving your opinion.

[@morganyoungisplayingdrums]

@@andrewfrench7522 I agree.

[@rodney3076]

Isn't that the root of being a drummer? they are toys that we never "outgrow"! which is awesome...

[@porgie808]

Jared, to me it sounds like your drumming has noticeably improved to a whole 'notha level in the past year or so. (And that you're having as much fun as ever!)

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Thank you. I really do enjoy drumming and have worked hard to improve this past year.

[@urquiagabro8252]

Yes dude, I started watching drumeo in 2013 and always thought Jared was ok. Now I’m wondering how many gospel chop videos he has been drumming along to! Haha jk he’s improved so much, it’s inspiring and awesome to see.

[@themusicx.plorer7548]

I met Jared from drumlessons.com like about 11 years ago now and he has improved a lot. In that time he was "a good drummer", now I would say that he is an awesome drummer

Getting the slapstick to spice things up behind the kit AND in the bedroom

[@malthuswasright]

The slap stick has been a staple of the orchestral percussion section for over a century, so not quite sure what it's doing here.

[@dlinekidd93]

The slap stick is usually used in a concert percussion setting. Think of the whip sound in “sleigh ride” lol.

[@johnnyresin]

love the cymbal spinners! i remember showing my first drum student how to impress all your friends by spinning the crash after you choke it, and that became his signature move 😂 I'm gonna have to get a set of spinners for him 💚

[@Stopmotion52]

You sound like an a awesome teacher!

[@pertrick]

Now I just want more videos of Jared drumming. He plays so clean!

[@DrumeoOfficial]

I post stuff on IG all the time, but I have to practice hard to get on Drumeo's channels. The bar has been set very high with all the great drummers we've had out. I need to keep working on my own drumming and will hopefully post more.

I've used Tama Quick Release Cymbal Nut for at least 8 years. They are awesome! Never had one fail.

[@ryandonohue152]

I replaced all my wing nuts with Tama quick release. Saves time at end of night. Gibraltar also has a quick release hi hat clutch. Doesn't loosen up like other clutch's.

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

The Gibraltar clutch is fantastic! Absolutely love them. I miss it when I set up normal hihats for sure.

[@colincolin8722]

Jared became one of the best drummers worldwide... Amazing drummer, a kind and lovely guy with a crazy cool sounding drumkit!!!! Thank you for sharing all this videos...

[@KnapfordMaster98]

the drum torque looks really cool. one personal benefit is not needing to constantly check tensions after making adjustments; the adjustment and the checking are the same step.

[@Memu_]

I love these more non-scripted videos with Jared. His fun is contagious.

[@helemaalnicks6215]

Magnetic drumkey is a pretty bad idea if you're gonna be around modern sound equipment. At 19:50, you replace the beater, and it's so much quicker than the switch-kick-thing. Some of these products don't make much sense to me. EDIT: if a beater is light, you can add weights, Tama makes them.

[@FakeJesseJuarez]

I’ve had cympads on my kit for the last 18-20 months and they haven’t worn down at all. They are absolutely amazing. I used to go through normal felts like crazy.

[@kepler240]

[@BetweenTheBuriedAndD]

I'm so so happy you tried those snare weights. I've been thinking about getting one, so to hear an honest review really helps!

[@RaamiKala]

Hey Jared please tell me what sneakers you're wearing at 10:04 I need those in my life!!

The Tama quick-set topper is cool but the threads can strip out.

I imagine coming to a Glenn Fricker's studio with those cymbal spinners.. Would sound awesome on a record though :D

[@spelwerdzrite]

Thank you for sharing the stick fly out of your hand. I was so nervous the first time I played with other people that this happened to me. I was horrified but it's nice to see that it even happens to pros.

[@JackFou]

Gadgets aside, I just noticed how much Jared has grown and improved as a drummer over all the years. I have been following drumeo and Jared pretty on and off and I suddenly noticed quite a difference compared to some of the earliest videos I've seen. It's a pleasure and an inspiration to see, really.

[@Drummer_of_Solace]

Really great vid. Thanks for the time and effort. I have been using Snare Weight for +2 years. I'm definitely a fan. Extremely well made, Very reliable.

[@BradfordGuy]

Nice video, guys! *1)* The necktie might have sounded better on the hat? *2)* The cymbals spinning does have a different sound; somewhat subdued and not quite as bright, but good! It would look cool on stage! *3)* Snare Weights - AWESOME! Sound better than the gels. *4)* The Junk Hat is very cool. It would make a great side hat! *5)* The Torque Tuner would be a good addition to my studio. Start by tuning the drum to near the pitch you want and then apply the correct torque for the best seat on the shell. Super!

[@massacremedia7055]

There is two KBrakes. One that you have is for carpet. The other is made for smooth surfaces.

I love a good quick release for cymbals. The one that Vater makes is incredible

[@seraeirian2]

The spinners look cool watching someone else use them, but I'd be constantly thinking of an Oddjob situation with the cymbal flying off and coming at my neck. I also have a thing about having all my Paiste logos right side up. I recently got a low boy beater. I got the one with the lambs wool puff. I like it a lot. Then you can swivel it for the wood side.

[@bryandaley5738]

Jared: the tensioning devices would come in really handy at gigs... where you can't hear well, because of the ambient noise of the room, (people chattering, music being played over the sound system, etc.) yet you need to tune.

[@theunbanned4553]

I'm thinking about buying The Grombal cymbal protector. You insert them in the hole of the cymbal and you don't need felts, sleeves or wingnuts anymore. And the best part: they are hard to install, so get them Jared! 😄

I love getting to see Jared riff outside of a lesson! CEO of chops

[@ezjeff]

So with the drum dial, it is a great tool for when you get the drums using it in tandem and finding your ear now tuning. Then after that when you get a new head you just dial in attention. I find Friday five times don’t need to tweak the head in the house to get the drum back to the tone with the new head he found With that snare weight the big one I love it you get that 80s drum sound and then you know it has magnets on it so you can take up one side or another and get the more 90s toy toy ring. I am interested in that collar from fat boy, like if you were playing jazz sounds like you can get some Sissle without having the web fry bacon next to the Kitt laugh out loud

[@LordBaktor]

The Tama QR Nuts are awesome. Where I rehearse we have a shared drum kit so I have to set up and take down my cymbals every time I go there and these bad boys cut a good chunk out of that time. I also want the drum weights now, they sounded awesome.

[@footnotedrummer]

Jared... I'm always impressed with your playing. What I noticed on this one, is that your single pedal speed for double taps is Bonham-esk. Very fast. I have a pretty good double tap, but your is really impressive. I tend to use a double pedal for what you're doing with one.

[@jameskirkbydrums]

i'd like you to test some of the aquarian tone-tabs, snare strips, kick patch and dura-dots, as well as the remo active snre dampener (the one dave weckl helped create) please ^_^

Snare weight, good takes the ring out.

those spinning things could work great with the steel of a roto tom like bozzios hihat thing. i use them as bells sometimes and they sound super weird when you spin them

[@knyshov]

A strange-looking dial indicator and an interesting torque wrench. The dial indicator will always be more precise as it's primarily used as a machinist tool with 0.001" or 0.0001" precision.

[@ak4656]

slapsticks are used in a concert band/orchestra setting in place of an accent, usually like a china but like, not a cymbal and much shorter

[@squeezemyparticiple]

This man really put his coffee on the floor tom

[@RAMA-gu8cs]

spining the cymbals is making the "woble" or frequency of the cymbals slighty higher or lower depend on how fast you spin it resulting a different note

[@ayney3054]

"terganomic handle... It's just a drum key" hilarious 😂😂😂

[@garyjohnson4988]

Kbrakes also ungrounds your bass drum and gives you a bigger sound. Kgrips slide onto the kbrakes for all hard surfaces. Standard Kbrakes are for carpet. That’s why it slid on the hard floor. Unbelievable product. Using all 3 of the products Kbrakes, Kstops, and Kgrips allows you to never have to take a carpet to a gig again. Your drums will never slide or move on any surface again. Plus it does make your bass drum sound bigger because your spur gets ungrounded. Try them out!

[@cameroncourt3410]

Legends say that those K-brakes are still waiting to be tested

[@simoncunningham849]

Jared kind of missed the point of the snareweight a little, it has a magnet so that you can flip it up off the head to easily change between damped and open sounds. If you only need one sound then the usual moon gel or whatever is fine. Cympads may not have much sonic value, but you know when you drop a black felt on a dimly lit black stage, gone forever ! Yellow Cympad is the answer ;-)

[@stixology1785]

[@lars2rp]

The blue Cympad is called a "Cympad Chromatic", and it's only purpose is to look fancy - on top of the cymbal.. Cympad mainly makes black ones made of a different material, which is made to increase the cymbal`s resonance - beneath the cymbal.

[@promilove6721]

[@olivergamer2347]

It's funny how Jared leaves his phone, coffee, and headphones on the floor tom. I used to do this but I bought a cheap music stand.

I personally like my snare and toms without any damping and for my bass drums I just like the white ring that comes with the drum head and that’s it for me no blanket or pillow to quite it down I like the boom sound they sound real bassy that way .
