hey i just got a drum kit for christmas and it has the bass drum the two attachable toms the floor tom and the high hat cymbal and i was wondering how i could get more cymbals and how i can tell what to look for
Hey do different drum sets need different kind of drum key?
hey um when you get a drum key and that little plastic peace that comes with it wat does it do
Usually no – If you have European kit, you may need a slotted key that looks like a flat screwdriver, but all the square-head key rods are basically the same (there are some slight variations due to quality sometimes though)
I’m not sure what piece you mean? If it is a black 3″ x 1/4″ x 1″ wide piece (or something similar with double stick tape) that part sticks onto the bass drum hoop where the pedal would attach.
Is the Hi hat suppose to be open when my foot is not on the pedal? Because i can’t have my foot on the pedal if i’m double bass-ing
Yes, that is how a hihat is supposed to work…
Now, you can do a few things – You can learn to play the double bass with either your toe or heel still on the hihat pedal to keep it closed (a la Denis Chambers) or you can buy an item called a “Drop Clutch” for the hi hat stand – This will have a lever that you hit that drops the top cymbal closed while you play double bass, and when you step on the pedal again, it picks up the top cymbal and functions as normal.
Is there like a reverse Hi hat like you press the pedal for it to open?
No, there isn’t – If you were able to make/find one, it would throw off your whole technique and you would never be able to play anyone elses kit… It’s also a whole lot cheaper to but a $20 drop clutch or just learn to play both at the same time for free!
Another (more expensive) route would be to have a second closed or remote operated hi hat that you would use just for double bass work
Do you have any videos of a Hi hat clutch and how it works? Like a demo
why would you set up drums on concrete?
It’s mainly aesthetics and space: The concrete pad just looks cool and we had more room outside than inside to shoot the video – that’s all..
best video for drum settting up ever i have seen thank you very much
You are welcome – and thank you! It’s not a Scorsese film, but we do our best!
whoa, nice tutorial. must of been a lot of work.
do u sale drums? to international
how much does a standard drum set cost?
It can range widely…
Super cheap kits can run $300 to $400 complete
Good entry-level kits run $500 to $700 complete
A kit similar to what is shown in the video will run around $1000 with everything shown…. and the sky is the limit beyond that!
thanks allot. im getting my first drum set the 23d and have no idea how to assemble it. so this will help me
which website did you get the drum set
thanks
Thanks man I needed to know how to do that
when your finger tightning the tention rods you shouldnt use your drum key.
what the guy below me said. i picked up a no name set for $50 for a 5 piece with a pearl snare.
this has really helped thankyou
