If you’re a proud owner of a Gretsch drum set or considering getting one, you’re in for a treat! Below, you will find some top tips for getting the most out of your Gretsch drum set, with insights and recommendations to elevate your drumming experience.

Understanding Your Gretsch Drum Set:

Before diving into playing, take some time to familiarize yourself with your Gretsch drum set. Each component plays a unique role in shaping your sound, from the bass drum to the toms and snare drum. Explore the different tones and textures each drum produces to unleash the full potential of your kit.

Quality Tuning is Key:

Just like a musical instrument, proper tuning is essential for getting the best sound out of your drums. Invest in a reliable drum tuner and learn the art of tuning your Gretsch drums to perfection. Experiment with different tensions and pitches until you find the sweet spot that suits your playing style.

Invest in Quality Hardware:

A sturdy and reliable hardware setup is crucial for ensuring stability and performance during your drumming sessions. Look for high-quality stands, pedals, and mounts that can withstand the rigors of regular use. Mapex drums guide and Gretsch drums review can offer valuable insights into selecting the right hardware components for your Gretsch drum set.

Experiment with Drumhead Selection:

The type of drumheads you use can significantly impact the sound of your Gretsch drum set. Explore a variety of drumhead brands and models to find the ones that complement your drums’ inherent characteristics. Whether you prefer clear, coated, or specialized heads, finding the right match can enhance your overall sound.

Optimize Your Drum Setup:

The placement and arrangement of your drums can affect not only your playing comfort but also the sound dynamics of your kit. Take the time to experiment with different setups to find the configuration that works best for you. Consider factors such as reach, ergonomics, and balance to optimize your drumming experience.

Explore Different Drumming Styles:

One of the joys of owning a Gretsch drum set is its versatility across various music genres and playing styles. Whether you’re into jazz, rock, funk, or metal, your Gretsch drums can adapt to suit your musical preferences. Experiment with different rhythms, techniques, and genres to broaden your drumming horizons.

Like any skill, mastering the drums requires consistent practice and dedication. Set aside regular practice sessions to hone your skills and explore new techniques on your Gretsch drum set. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned drummer, continuous practice is key to unlocking your full potential behind the kit.

Connect with Fellow Drummers:

Drumming is not just about playing in isolation; it’s also about connecting with other musicians and drum enthusiasts. Join online forums, social media groups, or local drumming communities to exchange tips, share experiences, and learn from fellow drummers. Building a network of drumming peers can inspire and motivate you on your musical journey.

Record and Listen Back:

Recording your drumming sessions is a great way to track your progress and identify areas for improvement. Invest in a recording device or software and capture your performances to listen back later. Pay attention to nuances in your playing, dynamics, and timing to refine your skills further.

Have Fun and Be Creative:

Above all, remember to have fun and express your creativity through your drumming. Your Gretsch drum set is a versatile instrument that can adapt to your unique style and musical expression.

do you know your enemy?

“Sorry,” Stiles said, unsure of why he was apologizing. “I’ve never heard that song before. Did you write it?”  Derek looked uncomfortable, maybe a touch embarrassed, which was answer enough. “It’s good. I like it. It’s calming.”  The small smile he got in response melted his heart a little bit. Fucking hell, he was so gone for this asshole. Stiles didn’t know what he was going to do. He wished he’d never realized how much he loved him. Wished he’d just continued to think they were best friends and nothing more. It was slowly going to kill him being so close, and yet so fucking far. Clearing his throat, he brought the book back up to continue reading, muttering that Derek should keep playing. He did, his fingers plucking gently at the strings, filling the loft with soft music. It really was calming, and soothing. Stiles really liked it. He liked it even more when he realized Derek could honestly express himself with the guitar. It still wasn’t a voice, but it was something, at least.

This fic is what spurred me to start doing sterek fanart back in the beginning of december - magic!stiles, cursed!derek, stiles/jackson terrifying everyone else as friends - an incredible 430K story with a completely endearing slow-burn and slowly unfolding exploration of the characters and their relationship, made complete with the perfect bow of cursed-mute-Derek because 'Derek's eyebrows have a language of their own but only Stiles is fluent' is my favorite and this author does it SO well. And gives Derek a guitar. Derek plays a guitar!!

Ella, consider this my loveletter to your works - they all, this one in particular, buoyed me through a tough time in my life and brought me back to a love of drawing that I haven't had in years and a fandom that has been so generous in their support of my silly art. Thank you for sharing your works!

And a huge thank you to everyone's support so far - the sweet comments in replies, the unhinged all-caps tags, yes-and'ing my silly ideas and headcanons, i'm just over here kicking my feet and giggling and definitely not getting teary-eyed over it no siree no lacrimal action happening here

To celebrate hitting 66.6% on my Kickstarter for an audio drama about a rock band secretly solving monster-related problems, I took prompts for a song about the devil. Check out the annotated video above!

If we can reach 75% by the end of the weekend, I will take song prompts again. Looking forward to it!

Lyrics under the cut:

The devil got tired of Georgia He said, “I’m good on souls,” Said “earth’s a wreck, so I’ll just perfect sex drugs and rock n roll”

“But the demons run my schedule and torture is their sport so holy cow, I’m touching down in Atlanta’s own Airport”

CHORUS "That Hartsfield Jackson Airport, well it’s poorly designed ‘Cause the gates are far apart and it’s hard to parse the signs But if you win you get another fiddle made of gold and if I win, leave me the hell alone"

The devil got tired of Georgia or the US generally said “I brought the light, but you wanna fight, no thanks for Halloween?”

“From Henry Ford to Elon, you love theft and your machines and you’ll chainsaw the rule of law to chase efficiency”

CHORUS Johnny said, “Now hang on dude, don’t paint us with one brush you’re killing the whole damn mood and most of us hate Musk So if you win, you get my soul, and I guess that is that And if I win, no more self-righteous rant

The devil pulled out his fiddle he played like a whole string band Johnny tried, and he played alright but he knew he was damned

CHORUS Johnny took a deep breath and tried to keep his cool The devil sipped his soy latte and they both knew the rules but Satan said, “keep your soul, you need it more than me” and then retired to go farm walnut trees

Johnny found the devil again Who didn’t know what to think John said “no catch and no rematch, can I buy you a drink?”

the devil blinked and then he said “sure that would be nice” and that whole bargaining souls thing kind of broke the ice

CHORUS Now Satan slings the cocktails every Saturday night as Johnny fixes dinner— his chili hits new heights so they live in harmony, grow walnuts by the ton and sometimes they crush cybertrucks for fun
