Скачать или смотреть Why your drums still suck (and how to fix it)

Have you ever wondered why your drums (even great drums) aren't fun to play? I recently played a backline kit that should have been amazing, but actually sucked. So I decided to make a video about it.

If your drum set sounds bad and isn't fun to play, it’s probably not because the drums are cheap. In this video, I break down three boring but critical drum set problems that make even expensive kits sound terrible and feel frustrating to play: missing or damaged hardware, worn or mismatched drumheads, and poor drum tuning.

A lot of drummers focus on buying better gear. But pros know that drum maintenance, proper drumhead choice, and consistent tuning make a far bigger difference than brand names. I’ll explain how broken parts affect playability, how to choose the right drumheads for your sound, and why tuning both batter and resonant heads matters — especially in live rooms and under microphones.

Before you upgrade your kit, fix these fundamentals. Your drums will sound better, feel better, and respond the way they’re supposed to.
