Thanks to all team who makes this lessons. I can learn play drums cause you. We love you guys. From Argentina (Sorry my english)
I often play at jam nights and I always pull my wallet out of my hip pocket and rest it on the snare skin, roughly where Jared placed the drum gum. This cuts a lot of ring and over tone out of the snare. Get more dampening if its filled with money!!
Seriously it had take years to get a good sound by trying and error, and know that I found it you put it here. WHY YOU DIDN’T DO IT BEFORE????
Really nice and helpful.
