double stroke rolls he is pretty damn fast. his hand technique is just double-stroke drum rolls, which isn't a big deal, but his feet are damn quick. Hope to see this kid make it big...

playing too quiet! I found this to be interesting and surprising. I've found just the opposite as a problem. Usually, the problem is that drummers aren't loud and steady enough. You should be able to compress/limit the signal? That was the first thing I learned on my first drumming-recording...

Sm94 My SM94 worked great until it (they) got ripped off...

KEL HM-1 for overheads I might try one of these HM-1's. I just hope they don't sound like the BS nadys or cad mikes i've heard. I'm just a drummer, so what do I know? Joke: What do you call a drummer who just brooke up with his girlfriend? HOMELESS What's the first thing a drummer says when he...

old 14 new beats I've got an old pair of new beats, probably new in 1982, which are finally starting to crack. I'm just a drummer so I don't know much about recording quality of them, but I do like them. I'd start looking at other ones, but then I'd have to replace both top and bottom, so...

I just lost (or got ripped off) my pair of SM94 condensors and don't have the $360+ to replace them right now. I saw lots of bad press about those AKG C1000's on this forum, so I'm reluctant to bid on them. Can anyone recommend a good pair of mikes I can use for overheads on a 4-pc drumkit? I'm...

Like SheHadTheJack, I'm looking at upgrading to a half-decent mixer and have looked at Behringer. Some Peeps mention Soundcraft. Has anyone tried the E-12, or am I just as well getting a Behringer or Mackie? We just need one for our 2-man band and some light home multitracking and video stuff...

I heard Ringo didn't play in the studio with the Beatles, only live. I don't know that as a fact, but many an engineer have said this. Don't mean to get off subject... I would also add Mike Portnoy and Danny Carey to the list.

OK then, I'm a drummer who's flexible and experienced (old as dirt). Just keep my hat hits to a low roar and don't try to move mikes around? I want to avoid phase issues and plan to try the measuring equidistant from overheads to snare to bass drum, so moving mikes around isn't in my immediate...

Pearl R. Traveler: I'm not a fan of cheap drums, but I have this kit for a backup to throw in my truck and it sounds better than I anticipated. Decent bang for the buck, but I didn't look at other kits it the price range...

Hey peeps, Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm going with what little wisdom I've got left in my 38 YO drummer brain. I'm looking into a mixer to record at home and I want it to sound as professional as I can and I only have 200 bucks. I can get a used behringer with 10xlr inputs and effects, or a...

very interesting. i like this forum... THANKS!!!

I paid $119/ea for PRO25's in 1995 from Musicians Friend. I'd buy as many as I could for that $50 price. I love the $300± AKG and Shure kick mics, but for $50 the PRO25 is mucho bang-for-the-buck! I never tried them for snare and toms, but if they're "better than 57's" buy 'em out! One thing's...

Thanks guys, I do like to play dynamically on my hats in my hard rock band but I'll wait until I really am dissatisfied with my sound before I pick up a mike. In my classic rock band I know I won't need it. BTW, can anyone suggest a mike under 100 bucks that works well as a hat mike for future...

I've never used a hihat mike before, studio or live, and I was wondering if I should just forget about it? I'd rather not buy one to find I don't really need it. I'd rather not worry about placement/phase issues if it really doesn't make that much difference. Here's what I use now: 57's close...
