Sounds Like A Drum

@A_Terry_H Indeed, but let's go with the original...

That’s a good start. #WinterStorm #scwx

If you’ve ever wondered what the benefits of a 6-lug drum vs. a 10-lug drum would be or want to know how to approach tuning any drum based on the number of lugs, this video is for you. sladl.ink/Episode282 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Sure, you’ve used muffling before but do you know the two different types of muffling and their opposing effects? Most people don’t… (Hint: it’s not about external vs. internal) 
Watch the full episode to find out which type you should use. sladl.ink/Episode279 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Batter head, snare side head, snare wires. Seems pretty simple, right? And yet most drummers don’t really understand how they work together and that’s causing a whole lot of headache when it comes to tuning. sladl.ink/Episode278 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Just because you’ve got all of those mics doesn’t mean you need to use them. And just because you only have one mic doesn’t mean you can’t record your drums. We’ll show you how to get creative with a single microphone for recording drums. sladl.ink/Episode277 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Feeling a bit lost when it comes to choosing your ideal sound for a particular snare drum? We’ll share our approach! sladl.ink/Episode276 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Many have come for us in the comments time and time again on this topic so we decided to humor them and take a more objective angle to see if we might have been wrong about this tuning prescription. sladl.ink/Episode275 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Is this really all you need to do to get a great drum sound or are we settling for mediocrity? There can be danger in the oversimplification of nuanced practices but is this tuning method an example of that or have we been missing out? sladl.ink/Episode274 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Is this hack a genius approach or the drum equivalent to turning your underwear inside out for an extra day’s use instead of washing them? sladl.ink/Episode272 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

You can actually use muffling like a graphic equalizer if you understand how placement affects certain frequency bands relative to the tuning of the drum. sladl.ink/Episode271 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Stop making it so difficult for yourself! Today we’re highlighting the fundamental approach that needs to be present regardless of which method you choose. sladl.ink/Episode270 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Want to add some dub-style delay to your snare? Maybe a cavernous reverb? It’s quite easy with guitar stompboxes. We’ll show you how. sladl.ink/Episode269 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Balanced tension equals clear intonation, right? But how do drumheads of different weights behave under equal tension? How does it affect the pitch? We’ll demo it all in our latest episode thanks to our friends at @drumdial sladl.ink/Episode268 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

Kick mods without changing tuning, muffling, or head changes? In fact, with these hacks, you don’t even need to touch the drum. sladl.ink/Episode267 👂🏼👉🏼🥁

A subtle yet polarizing topic; 30+ strand snare wires. Are they the answer or the cause of the problem? We’ve got lots to share on this one! sladl.ink/Episode266 👂🏼👉🏼🥁
