    That bass drum is super small! It sounds like a rack tom, it should be minimum 22 x 14" Inches, perfect is 26 x 14" and the vintage is 28 x 14". For Classic jazz, it should be 22 x 14", for vintage jazz it should be 28 x 14" and for versatyle it should be 26 x 14"

    Had a thought about these kinds of ugly ducklings or "Butter cymbals"...they're the opposite of "Cutting through the mix" cymbals in that by themselves their beauty isn't obvious but when they play with a band the bad stuff melts away and they sit beautifully in the band. Hard to develop an ear/taste for that.

    Nice clip Tim. I grew up listening to Bonham, Baker, Moon, etc...all the guys who were adapting to having to compete with electric guitar volume. In fact, just to hear the bass drum over the snare and cymbals, many drummers instinctively raised the leg and slammed the beater (buried) it into the head. Heel down is ergonomically superior for balance, no doubt and probably a better way to play if volume can be achieved. What about the natural quick fatigue of those anterior shin muscles when relying solely on the ankle with heel down? Any suggestions on that? Do you find that they can be strengthened/conditioned? Thanks for the clip!

    For me it depends on the gig, the cymbals I brought to the gig and the room. Is there a p.a? How loud is the band playing. I recently was the house drummer for a jazz jam, but the group was amplified. (In my opinion, a little bit too loud for the type of music, but not too loud for the type of venue) After hearing other drummers sitting in, I realised the ride cymbals ( early 2000nds K contantinople) and a 50s vintage A ride had zero definition. Using a heavier nylon tip 5B helped the stick definition cut a little more, but in reality heavier cymbals would have been better suited to this situation or the drums should have had an overhead mic, seeing as the piano and bass were being put through a pa.

    Sweet! While you’re at it, could you make a short video explaining how you manage to bury the beater with the bass drum tuned so high? Even though I tune mine a tad lower, try as I might, I can’t keep the beater from bouncing off the head and creating sort of an unintentional (very fast) diddle. (Along with the associated pitch bend, this creates an interesting effect, but that’s not what I’m going for.)

    @@AstAMoore Busted! That's from the first 5 seconds of the video where you can see I back off the head almost right away. I would say that I'm usually not trying to bury the beater unless it's a sound I'm trying to hear. Also not to say that it might happen sometimes unintentionally as in this clip. I do bury the beater intentionally when I'm trying to mimic a Brazilian Surdo, but that comes with the flutter and pitch bending effect you were talking about.

    @@TimMetz Thanks! I thought I was going crazy (not to say that I’m not). I only recently started to incorporate burying the beater in my playing, and not being able to execute it cleaning is utterly frustrating. Now I know I’m not the only one with that problem. (And yes, it’s more useful in Afro-Cuban/Latin music, but could be used effectively-albeit sparingly-in bebop and straight-ahead jazz, too.)
