Cymbals?

Not married to a pack (meaning I’ll need the whole set)

Dark vs bright dry or no etc?

Example band could be Ragana or Jucifer - those sound like something I’d wanna emulate

Looking to buy some mics for punk/metal gigs, how should I go about it?

First time posting on here, I’m still new to the gear side of things. I’ve recently started playing live shows with my band and when at a local venue, they usually hook me up with a kick and snare mic. I love playing mic’d up and we hold lots of DIY shows so I want to see about getting some mics of my own, maybe a full set for my Toms too. I’m also on a semi-restrictive budget, so how should I go about selecting? Is criteria for performance mics and recording mics any different? Also, any recommendations would be appreciated.

Don't let your dreams be dreams. I'm thankful for all the super cool opportunities I've gotten over the years. Here's hoping there will be more and this upcoming year will be even better. Happy Thanksgiving

Most silent snare + kick practice pad combo?

Hi all!

I'm looking for a minimalist setup of snare + bass drum for practice at home. Preferably to use in the living room while my (soon to be) wife watches tv. My current setup (in the attic) is a TD-9KX2 on a tennis ball riser and Iron Cobra pedals (OG beaters). My 2 y.o. son's room is directly below, so - due to bass drum thumping - I'd prefer to practice in the living room. So I'd like the most silent options without really breaking the bank.

Things I've been looking at :

  • Tama True Touch (AAD snare pad + solid kick bass pad)
  • Tama TSP9 practice pad
  • Roland VQD106 (KDQ-8 + PDQ-8S) -> CRAZY expensive!
  • Beaterless pedals e.g. Roland KT-10
  • Adoro Silent Beater
  • RTOM Moongel workout pad

I don't really need there to be any electronics inside, especially since that usually also increases the price. I just want a way to practice my chops and ankle technique more without disturbing anyone.

Any thoughts on the listed items or different suggestions are welcome!

Thanks in advance.

Advice on buying new cymbals

Hi! I'm starting to build a new set to match the sound of my band. We play epic doom and i'm looking for a dark fat sounding crashes, but with a kind of restricted budget (less that 400€ would be nice, less than 300€ even better). I was looking into the Paiste 900 series heavy, but i'm not quite sure if it would be a good option. Also I have a Tama LST148 Snare Drum SLP 14"x8".
Any advice and recomendation would be very welcome, thank you!

Excercises to develop better unisons and double ride thing like Gene or the rev

Hi, im a big fan of death (band) and i want to play their late albums (symbolic, human, tsop etc) and i need to still work on my double bass speed because im at 16 th notes 180 bpm but my unisons are really bad and i can't even play rlrl with the the hands unison with rlrl in the bass drum at 90 bpm What excercises are good to develop unison coordination between double bass and hands? Should i focus on doing this excercises really slow during a long time or try to push it? Are my unisons correct on this video?

Krimh drums

I’m a drummer who wants to make music but I don’t have mics for my actual kit and I want to get a drum plugin. The one that has gotten my attention the most is krimh drums by bogren digital. I’m coming from bandlab and I’m learning the cakewalk DAW and I’m very familiar with bandlab and programming drums on there. Can I program drums with krimh? Because all of the videos I watch don’t say that I can and I need to be 100% sure before I buy it.

OnTrigger Gen 3 setup with DDRUM DDTI

Hi all again, my OnTrigger gen3s finally came and I was hoping someone has experience setting either of these two pieces of gear up and any tips you might have, or if you use both that would be optimal, since this is my current setup. Anything on how to get these things dialed in would be greatly appriciated. Thanks!
