nice crusty old generic stand

i lost part of the mechanism for my hats. it got lodged into the middle of the bottom hat and when i got it out it flew across the room. now i just use the pedal as a dampener and stacked my hats with a broken cymbal. it sounds like trash but i like it.

let it bleed

they'll come through enough with a snare mic

i sound super fuckin lazy for this, but i've looked for it several times, and look for it most days that i go to the practice space. but i probably look lazy for not using capital 'i'

please keep this talk to pedal general

ayayayayayayayaya

you need to watch some John Stanier, boii

>not being dave grohl

I use 15" Dream Bliss hats, and they're so neat. real shucky but much clearer than the 14s

Just picked up a Ludwig Atlas stand from a local shop for $40 today too. Having a good time in /hhg/

best hats comin thru

ew it's all rusted n shit

>not liking crisp cymbals that have been aged underground
go back to crash general or some shit u pleb

< back on topic - what are the best online resources to learn drums independently? I have a standard piano background so I can read music and rhythms; also can play some beginner high hat-dependent rock beats

Seems like everything free online is for literal retards

the best way to learn is sit down and just play the damn thing for hours and hours, and once you're comfy, slap headphones on and start learning songs and practicing paradiddles.

honestly this. i had tons of training but none of the more complex stuff will make much sense till youve prcticed the shit out of it

Firstly you gotta drill limb independence excercises for a good month or so, then just start learning more and more complex beats until you feel fully comfortable around the kit

Fucking kek m80

>using meme hats below 14"

What do you guys use for secondary/auxiliary hats

>lowest cymbal in the kid
