How much does the different beater change the feel?
@RobBeatdownBrown2 жыл бұрын
Not as much as you think when you just adjust the beater height. If you set it to sit parallel to the floor at rest, it feels about same.

Rob, I’m getting into the drumming game a little later in life than most, I came across your lesson that you did with Drumeo about keeping a pocket and decided to check out the channel. I just wanted to say that you (as well as a few other KZbin drummers) are helping me progress so quickly in my playing. I’m 22 and I just got my first kit a few weeks ago and I’m already learning enough to start playing some basic songs. So thank you thank you thank you for all you do to help teach and inspire the future drummers of the world like myself 🥁

@Rob Brown thanks for turning us on to the quiet kicks! I put my order in right after watching your video, of course. I'm glad I did because they went out of stock within hours! For anyone wanting even quieter kicks, I found a 25 cent hack. Grab yourself some sponge material or just a sponge itself, 2 rubber bands, cut the sponge to the size of the pad and then put another QK pad on top, making some what of a 'sponge sandwhich'. Then wrap that whole assembly on to the front of the QK on top of the velcro'd pad using the rubber bands. This reduced the 'boing' of the vibrations in the QK to a soft 'thud'. I'd guess it's about 75% quieter, and should also result in the included pads lasting forever since they won't be taking direct impact. Good luck! Thanks again Rob! Love your channel! Anyway, this reduced the 'boing' of

Apartment dwellers, specifically ones that don't live on their bottom floor, how do you think it would work with the vibrations going in the ground, through the ceiling below and potentially bothering neighbors?
@parsnips8002 жыл бұрын
In general reducing beater noise is not hard, but stopping the vibrations caused by your foot stamping on the pedal is difficult to cure. I mount my practice kit on a thick (1" / 25mm) rubber pad. The sort of flooring you see in gyms. It's pretty good at absorbing vibrations, but still I'm respectful of when I practice and for how long.

@@RobBeatdownBrown for me it's been a freakin nightmare being a drummer in an apartment. Neighbors were cool for 3/4 months then they started to say it was too loud, so I tried putting carpets under, didn't work, so I tried thick rubber carpets, didn't work, so I tried a tennis ball riser, didn't work, and then I ultimately brought the kit to my shred place and fused it with my acoustic. Now I can practice about half the time and when I'm at home I use my pad 😕

I have two concerns. 1) The strike pad is right over the spikes, so all the force is going to drive the spikes into a soft wood floor like a hammer and nails. 3) I live in an apartment with downstairs neighbors, and with the force directed into my floor...well, they might have something to say about that. I'd like to try one at Guitar Center first.
