Animals As Leaders MEGATHREAD

[DanielKRego]

Wow. That video was awesome. Although some of the animal shots got tedious after a while.

 

[ShadyDavey]

The video is indeed awesome......but it makes me hunger for more instructional material from Tosin......a great big DVD full of odd meter, tapping, sweeping and all the other stuff we all admire him for.

In the meantime - I'll listen to the album for the second time today and point out that currently this has surpassed the amount of times I've listened to Passion and Warfare since it's release

Just watched the video for 1st time. Very awesome!

 

[Steve08]

So anyone know what drums, shell sizes Navine uses?

I'm pretty sure he uses DW drums (or at least, he was using a DW kit in that video of him playing Tempting Time). Dunno the shell sizes though.

Thanks, it does look like a DW in that video. I just wasn't sure if anyone know the wood type sizes. Surly someone here has asked him at a show.
I just asked at the worst time since the CAFO video just got posted!

I've just looked through this whole thread and couldn't find the answer I was hoping for, I'm sorry if it's been asked before but I was just wondering if anyone knows what gauge and string brand Tosin uses?

I know its an .080 for the low E, and i think i remember reading somewhere that someone asked him the same question on tour and he said he recently moved up to a set of 11s . dont know how cridible that is, especially since youd have to strangle a 27'' scale with 11s tuned to standard.

He barely ever bends, and when he does, I don't think any more than a half step. So 11's sound somewhat reasonable.

 

[ShadyDavey]

I guess it's fairly credible as by his own admittance he doesn't bend very often and I suspect his action is very low....then again, that is a mighty string tension and perhaps the move was by way of an experiment?

Would love to find the definitive answer

 

[drmosh]

Dunno, I can bend just fine with .13s on my 28" baritone

 

[Kairos]

Such a think string gauge is common for jazz guitar, and seeing how Tosin is so jazzy it really wouldn't surprise me if he was using .11's, I bet his lead tone is HUUGE

 

[RaceCar]

Is it just me or does "Waves of Babies" rock RIDICULOUSLY HARD?!?!?! Seriously I am obsessed with this song. CAN'T wait to see them here in Detroit on the 20th.

I asked Tosin this in my lesson with him back in August. He said they recently gauged up, playing .11s with .74/.80 on the low B, and E, respectively. I've gauged up on my 2228 to .10s with a low .76, but am going to make the jump to the .11s-.80 soon. It's true that jazz dudes play thick strings (most of my jazz friends use .13s or.14s in STANDARD, but it's never felt that comfortable for me.

Oh I know it's common for Jazzers - I'm just suprised at such a heavy gauge on a 27" scale. Jeff Loomis just dropped down a set to 9's on his 26.5" Schecter through increasing discomfort so it makes you wonder

 

[Alberto7]

^^ Then again, Jeff Loomis' playing style is completely different from Tosin's... Loomis bends like a bitch and his vibratos require indecent amounts of control over the strings bending.

So, I added Tosin as a friend on facebook awhile back, and someone recently uploaded a pic of Tosin onstage with what looks like an Ibby custom 8, with an F Hole. Anyone seen this before?

there have been at least a dozen of threads about that guitar on here

New tour announced with Underoath. I'm pretty pumped. I was once an underoath fan, and AAL is definitely one of my favorite bands to this date. Should be a cool show.

Still nothing in the UK, but early days yet.

Come to England, we have flat beer and really rough birds
