    I just got into drums and find on Youtube a) a respectful, appreciative bunch that quietly gives thumbs up and B) a loud, aggressive, unappreciative bunch that collectively jumps down the throats of anybody making the slightes error. This video is OK. I got something out of it and it’s free, so I’m not complaining.

    @UnitShandler Justin Bieber, because people would actually be trying to find him, and would be happy to get rid of ExpertVillage.

    I know someone who …
    I know someone who followed all of ExpertVillage’s tips on drums when he set his kit up. Tuning, positioning, etc…
    In the end he needed all new heads because they can’t tune a head for anything, and he had to re set his entire kit.
    Lots of stress for just a bunch of idiots who own drums. They don’t play them. I doubt they are even drummers.

    If you had to be …
    If you had to be stuck on an island with expert village or justin bieber who would you chose? May someone end me if I have to ever make that decision.

    I already set my legs in the O, R, and E positions they did not work out very well so I guess the V is probably the way to go. Thanks for being useful.

  19. Wiesshund Says:

    1) Set up the kit …
    1) Set up the kit in any fashion you want, as long as it doesn’t inhibit your playing it
    2) What acoustics? Seriously, where did that come from?

    I hope they dont have a vid on doing guitar intonation, that would earn you a trip to the guitar store i bet.


  20. nobby22 Says:

    Surely you set up a …
    Surely you set up a drum kit to the positions you’re most comfortable with? And I’m sure he proves this point himself by saying he plays open handed. That’s unorthodox so why can’t people set their kits up to whatever suits them?
    Fucking Expert Village, useless bastards…
