Hello everyone! As a lil late-week bonus, here's the extended cut of my Joker 2 video from earlier this year. It had previously only been on Nebula. Shoutout to Patreon member Turst for the suggestion to upload it here.
This one was v fun to write, but oh my GOD was it a pain to edit. And I'm saying that as someone who talks about music!!!!!! YT's copyright system is usually accommodating when it comes to movie scenes, but I genuinely couldn't use more than 3 seconds at a time without g...

Hello everyone!! Hope you had a good weekend, and if you're based in the northeast US, I hope you're managing to not get cooked alive in this heatwave. I was out in Toronto this weekend for a future video, and oof it was rough at times. Thank goodness for the air-conditioned Tim Hortons on every corner.
Anyway, I just wanted to do my usual updates:
THANK YOU
Once again, we've got a number of new people on this Patreon following the Oasis DDD, and I wanna say to all the new f...

D'you know what I meannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
This one is hot off the presses, I just exported it from Resolve. It's out now here and on Nebula, and assuming there are no issues with copyright, it'll be on YouTube tomorrow. This one was a lot of fun to remake, and I hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone! I'm nearly done editing the next DDD, but before that, I wanted to get a quick vlog out about Taylor Swift getting her masters back, and the biggest impact it'll have - me having to revise my video schedule. Enjoy!
(Also minor correction - I mentioned Future doing the collab with Cher, and the way I said it made it sound like they did it recently. Turns out it's years old. But I thought the joke was funny so I kept it in.)

Hey everybody! Here's a quick bonus from last week's mastering video - a couple extra questions I asked Adam Ayan, most of which came from you all! Thanks to everyone who sent in a question :)
As for what's next, I've got another album reaction coming in the next few days. Plus the next DDD is officially in production. I'll share more about both soon. Thanks y'all, have a good Tuesday!

Hope y'all are having a good week! Here's my latest video all about mastering. This one has a very special guest — Adam Ayan, a Grammy-winning mastering engineer who's worked on albums by Lana Del Rey, Father John Misty, Paul McCartney, Shakira, and sooooo many more artists. Sitting down with him was a blast, and I think you'll get a lot out of our conversation.
The video is out now here and on Nebula, and it'll be out tomorrow on YouTube. In tandem, I'll be releasing a follow-up vide...

trying something new today — the internet's been abuzz about Sleep Token and their new album. lots of folks in my circles saying it's not good, but frankly that made me even more interested to listen lol.
but this time, i decided to film my first listen. honestly it was a fun time! and tbh i'd recommend you give Even In Arcadia a try, even if it doesn't click with you. at the very least, check out Emergence, the title track and Damocles.
let me know what you think of the album, ...

hey everyone! hope your week is going well so far. i've got some very cool news — later this week, i'll be interviewing a mastering engineer for the next video!
audio mastering is a topic that's often shrouded in mystery, even to folks who work in music. but this engineer has mastered albums for Shakira, Father John Misty and Lana Del Rey. he's a seasoned pro, and i'm sure our convo will shine more of a light on what mastering is, how one does it, etc.
i've got my list of Qs for...

happy sunday! i've got another exclusive video for you all. this time, it's all about money, big dollar bills, cha ching, and all that and all that. i've been thinking about money a lot lately for a bunch of reasons — going full-time, the sociopolitical state of the world, the new Mario Kart. all things of equal seriousness!
but i wanted to condense my thoughts down about money and how the music business may be affected in the next year or so. i'd love to hear your thoughts about all ...

hey everybody! hot off the presses (DaVinci Resolve export screen) is my latest video — a sequel to my CD listening experiment, but this time, i listened to only the radio for all of Jan 2025. this video is out today on here and over on Nebula, and it'll be out on YouTube tomorrow. it was a lot of fun to make, not just with doing the experiment but also with editing the video itself, and i hope you all enjoy it!

hi hi! i said back on Tuesday that i planned to reupload older videos that had been affected by the YouTube copyright system. first up is the Arctic Monkeys DDD from alllllll the way back in June 2022.
heads up: i'm tagging this as a "director's cut," but this is not a radically different video to the one currently on YT. the only major difference is the Brianstorm section at the 7-minute mark — that part had to get cut on YT bc of a copyright claim.
i'm very glad i never had to...

hey everybody!! hope all your weeks are off to a good start. i got to see family over the weekend — they’re all excited that my snare surgery (snurgury?) went well.

THANK YOU (AGAIN)!
i know i said it last week, but since a whole lot of people have joined in the past week, i just wanted to say it again — thank you for being a part of this Patreon!! especially now that i’ve become a full-time snare drum, your support means so much....

this video is going out in a few hours on YT, but the tl;dr is... i'm going full-time!!! i've decided to do Mic The Snare as my legit full-time gig.
i've said it before, but especially now with this news, i cannot thank you enough for being here and supporting me. it truly means the world :)))))
(also normally i'll share videos earlier in advance, but since this is a shorter vid and essentially a plug for something you're already a part of, i figured it would be ok.)

here's an exclusive video for you all — an impromptu vlog about the Robbie Williams monkey biopic from last year. if you haven't seen or heard of it, "Robbie Williams monkey biopic" might sound sacrilegious. i'm telling you though, it's stellar. enjoy my ranting and raving!

hey everyone!!! hope your week is off to a good start. i’m personally still coming off the release of the Michael Jackson DDD — that video had been in the works since late last year, and it’s great to finally have it out in the world. even with all the difficult subject matter, i still really enjoyed making it and i hope you all enjoyed it.
anyway, a couple quick updates from me:
