@asynchronousongs

@@gloverelaxis maybe its parallel lowpassed then distorted then combined with the dry signal again and then compressed or something? i suppose just distorting only low frequencies could kinda give an effect like this since the high end is less prominent and thus the whole thing seems to drop in pitch? im probably wrong but that would be my guess.

Then simply let go of it and bring your attention back to your breathing. If the feeling is very strong, try the following additional experiment, which we sometimes suggest to our patients who feel similarly bored with watching their breathing: Take the thumb and first finger of either hand, clamp them tightly over your nose, keep your mouth closed, and notice how long it takes before your breathing becomes very interesting to you!" /Jon Kabat-Zinn/

Notice the right hand grip. The first finger knuckle bent to form a firm fulcrum. This allows the remaining fingers to pull for increased speed. Also notice the right wrist position not arcing down, this allows the hand from opening to much and helps the fulcrum from opening up.

Excellent playing. Great chops, stick control, and sound. Very inspiring.

Wow, that is a delicious snare and bass. Almost electronic sounding at that point. Love the punchiness man. Keep it up.

You're officially one of my favorite drummers bro. Thanks to Beat 2 I know what to do with all of those Taco Bell napkins in my car. A trick I discovered by accident at a gig one night, I placed a half full/empty can of soda on my side snare and it gave it that 80s electronic snare sound when I hit the drum head w/o thinking about the can being on there. Sounds like something you may have already tried but it was surprising. I used it for any electronic snare sounds I needed since I don't own any triggers or electronics yet. Love your music you have up on KZread. You're one of the best drummers I've heard in a long time. Really original besides just being good.
