playing with a bundle of rods
Edit: I’m looking at you promark h rods
Any particular reason why?
I use a Zildjian K Custom Dark Hi Hat 13" which makes significantly less noise than a normal 14" Hi Hat. On top of that I use Hot Rods that significantly dampens the noise.
Since we seem to be concerned about volume / hearing loss, might it make sense to bring a pair of hot rods? I can pick some up if drummers are up for using them. I'm not a drummer so I don't know how mood-killing they are - maybe sticks are preferable but I thought I'd suggest it.
I'm not sure if you are looking for a sample, or if you want to create that sound acoustically, but to me it sounds a little bit like these gently tapping the snare. Or possibly, brushes.
This is why I almost exclusively play with Hot Rods
or brushes. I'm really self conscious about how loud I play anyways for some reason.
Maybe play with Hot Rods or brushes?
