| PAST EPISODES | | Episode 3 | May 5th, 2007 | Thanks to the schedule "mush" of being on tour with The House Jacks, this episode comes later than expected. However, in return, it is gargantuan -- longer than the first two put together! So, yes, we hear your requests for longer episodes, and we aim to please. In this monster mega-ep, we:
...continue to build on the first beginners' pattern, with only one more episode's worth of fine-tuning left before we're done with this one
...dive deep deep deep into the realm of the kick drum, exploring myths and fixes, various methods of production, and ending with one very tasty tight sound, broken way down for your enjoyment and edification
...look into appropriate warmup techniques
...and receive a guest visit from someone markedly more famous than I.
See you again in June.
| | | Episode 2 | April 7th, 2007 | In this latest episode, we:
...build on the beginners' pattern we started in the first one, covering some helpful tips for the advanced spitheads along the way
...explore the insanity of triplet hi-hat patterns, ending with a mind-bending mix-and-match free-for-fall
...research the gender gap in mouthdrumming with special guest Dr. Albert Weisenstein
...and receive a surprise visit from a guest with an anatomical anomaly that affects his ability to perform in our style
Fun is had by all.
| | | Episode 1 | March 23rd, 2007 | Episode 1: Forget everything your mother told you; it's really okay to spit at strangers. We swear. Beginning spitters - here's the opening sequence to a beat that will make you crazy popular in a few more episodes. Precocious spitters - just how do you master a fill, anyhow? Finally, we'll address the deepest question of them all: why, oh why, does my mic make my snare sound like a kick?
In the first episode, we cover
...the foundation of a pattern suitable for beginners with which to blow the doors off their unsuspecting friends and fans
...techniques for fills: how to do 'em, when to do 'em
...mic technique: keeping the snare from sounding like a kick
...how you, the spithead subscriber, should send a ten-second video clip MOV format to wes@mouthdrumming.com for use in future vodcasts
...and, in traditional style, the occasional outtake.
