Working on pre production for the new @recordthieves album. Finally nailed this track. Been a while since I played at 205bpm. Needless to say it felt great to nail it!! . . . . #jimwilcoxdrums #unityofnoise #drumming #drumfam #drumlife #drumset #rocknroll #recording #instadrums #practicepad #livemusic #drumvideos #instagroove #ilovedrums #newmusic #punkrock #punkdrummer #fastdrummer #drumfill #dwdrums #paistecymbals #vicfirthsticks #fastdrumming (at Echo Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXUfOtltqU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b8iljn5gyfjg

Making videos for any platform means doing things over and over and over and over... especially when it comes to video. Video editing is probably the most tedious thing I’ve ever done and I don’t think people really realize how much work goes into just one short video for Instagram or YouTube or any platform for that matter. This shot is just one of over 2 hours of footage I’m shooting to edit my new #patreon welcome video. At the end fontrh day I’ll@l probably spend over a week or so making this video. Point being, makes sure you SUPPORT your grow artists or artist your a fan of. Contribute, purchase merchandise, buy a ticket to a show or donate to they’re patreon account! (Lol) Thanks for listening everyone.

Wot work work! Still hammer Ricky away at my solo album. With song increased all the parts (loops) from scratch and used the Ableton Push controller to perform the song live and record it as I went. I still have quite a bit to do but this was the foundation for everything. I’ll be posting a full video of this song soon so stay tuned! . . . . . #jimwilcoxdrums #unityofnoise #drummer #drumming #drumfam #musician #rock #recording #industrial #industrialmusic #instadrums #studio #motivation #drumkit #livemusic #ilovedrums #guitarsounds #solomusic #rockmusicians #multiinstrumentalist #musicproduction #industrialsounds #abletonlive #abletonpush #midicontroller #livelooping #liveperformance (at Echo Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvM-LSnl1nJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y0hh2m2wvwph

Play. Just play sometimes. Usually while recording or practicing, in between takes I’m just messing around but I end up creating beats or fills that I can eventually work into something else I’m working on. Try different tempos as well, Don’t be afraid of bpm’s outside of your “style”. Even after playing and recording at an average of 230bpm my whole life my favorite tempo is mostly around. The 110-120 range. What’s your favorite tempo?

Relaxation and ergonomics. As I scan videos on Instagram watch some pretty incredible drummer I not one thing is VERY obvious between seasoned players and players just starting out or in there first few years of drumming. Relaxation and ergonomics. Over the years in your career as a drummer you’ll change allot of things about your playing but if I can stress one thing right away it’s that these 2 elements are HUGE. Early on in my professional career I worked with a friend who pointed out how I was seated super low and away from my kit, causing myself to reach far to hit drums and cymbals and putting allot of stress on not only my back but my arms and legs as well. We worked on raising my seat to fit my height and then pushing me in towards my kit causing my reach for drums / cymbals to be well within my arms length. By doing this I found that playing became a lot easier, and overall, I became more relaxed, which in turn led to more consistent hits and far better endurance. Take some video of yourself from the side and analyze your setup to help with this! HMU if you want me to help you take a look at how you can improve your setup! . . . . . #jimwilcoxdrums #unityofnoise #drummer #drumming #drumfam #musician #vf15 #drumlife #drumset #rock #recording #erganomics #paiste #practicelikethebest #punkrockdrummer #instadrums #drum #studio #motivation #drums #drumkit #livemusic #drumvideos #drumbeat #instagroove #dwdrums #drumpractice #ilovedrums #punkrock #punkdrums https://www.instagram.com/p/BurZA1wFGIA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wexzt6j710no

Even in punk, sometimes the details can make a big difference. In this particular song the double bell taps sit in between a set of guitar notes and help add flare to an other wise dull space without being over the top and overbearing. Most people won’t even hear parts like this unless they’re a musician listening for it, but when you point it out it will make that song suddenly seem so much better. Don’t forget the details. Get creative in any genre but don’t try to be the one under the spot light, just slip it in and be proud of it. . . . . . #jimwilcoxdrums #unityofnoise #drummer #drumming #drumfam #musician #vicfirth #drumlife #drumset #rock #recording #vicfirth #paiste #practicelikethebest #punkrockdrummer #instadrums #drum #studio #motivation #drums #drumkit #livemusic #drumvideos #drumbeat #instagroove #dwdrums #drumpractice #ilovedrums #punkrock #punkdrums (at Echo Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BupXrXnFLeo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s88ne6p702re

Part one. Wrapping up Another song for the solo record “river runs black”. Been excited to share this with everyone but at the same time it’s nerve racking cause I’m doing 100% of everything on my own. Groom drums to vocals, mixing, tracking all of it. This is just a. Sniper. Song isn’t mixed yet... soon though. Part 2 will show more. . . . . . #jimwilcoxdrums #unityofnoise #drummer #drumming #drumfam #musician #vicfirth #drumlife #drumset #rock #recording #vicfirth #paiste #practicelikethebest #punkrockdrummer #instadrums #drum #studio #motivation #drums #drumkit #livemusic #drumvideos #drumbeat #instagroove #dwdrums #drumpractice #ilovedrums #punkrock #punkdrums (at Echo Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buc1K9PFJTD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ugbo35v54m3r

Still hard at work on my solo record. Being the engineer, producer and musician for every part of this is quite a challenge but at the end of the day it’s very rewarding. I have to give a shout out to all the vocalists out there, Singing is definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a musician. . . . . . #jimwilcoxdrums #unityofnoise #drummer #drumming #drumfam #musician #multiinstrumentalist #recordingengineer #musicproducer #rock #recording #industrialmusic #paiste #electronicmusic #punkrockdrummer #instadrums #drum #studio #motivation #drums #drumkit #livemusic #drumvideos #drumbeat #screaming #dwdrums #drumpractice #ilovedrums #vocals #vocalist (at Echo Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6MIf5F-ev/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9oiln0qhddcb
