Zawinul Syndicate Live

Today we have the honour of sharing yet another recommended music video for you to enjoy. The Zawinul Syndicate Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival (1997). Here we get to witness Paco Sery on drums and Manolo Badrena on percussion. I had heard of these two for years, but until now had never seen them perform. Wow! All I can say is these guys are having a lot of fun at their jobs and the musicians they are with definitely benefit from it. Amazing musicianship all around. ** RIP Joe Zawinul (1932-2007) https://youtu.be/cZeDgilYrFU?si=y08XnhJN0Fw5yeTZ ~~~ Find our Books: on Amazon Subscribe: Brummet Media YouTube Channel ~~~

Rack Ring

Rack Ring Ever noticed that metallic “ping” sound that resonates from your drum rack? Most of us don’t so try not to panic. A majority of drum rack systems have a hollow metal tube as the main part of the structure. Those tubes can resonate with every hit to the drum or cymbal that is attached to it. It is very subtle but it can be an issue when recording with close micing techniques. I tried to devise a way to alleviate this extra noise and have come up with an easy and affordable solution – noodles! Yes, those colorful foam pool noodles that you buy at the toy store are the solution. I simply cut them lengthwise into sizes that fit just slightly snug into the inside of each tube so it contacts the metal around it. It has the same effect as if you grabbed the metal tube with a soft gloved hand. Suddenly all the extra ring is soaked up by this lightweight (and invisible) slice of a kids toy. You can fill the full length for maximum deadening but I usually do len...
