that kick is tiny!!! when mapex FIRST came out, they got terrible reviews in Drum! and Modern Drummer. their original shell construction was shoddy and the finishes half-assed. i don't remember when that was, though. the company is 15 years old, so... 1990 was their first year? your kit was...

i like 'em!!! the pre-EQ makes it very punchy, for modern rock and stuff like that. i'm meaning to try it on bass cabs, and using it on a floor tom sounds like a good idea!

do any of you have some good reviews/links to reviews on the firepod and firebox? i can't remember the 8mic-in one, but that's the one i'm interested in.

so then.... how do mackie mixers stack up against behringers?

got an estimated price?

i have the low end superlux's... they're actually suprisingly good o.o the overheads aren't great, but the kick picks up a lot of punch (great in my 18" bass) and the tom mics aren't *too* big. Get some CAD drum clips for the tom mics, they work great. I've got an sm57 on snare and my kit sounds...

although "My" sound i get with the behringer, i like the quality and design of the pod much more, so i vote pod. that being said, i will someday soon on the rackmount version of the behringer.

anyone tried the MOTU? otherwise i think i'll just go firebox.

i'm looking into firewire interfaces with as many imputs as i can manage to find (tho i'm more focused on good quality than number of imputs)... so far i've seen the Firebox and the MOTU 896. I'm curious on your guys' oppinions on these interfaces, or if you all have any recommendations?

as far as the ringo comments, the reason he was with the beatles was not because he was exceptionally good but rather because he is lefthanded on a righty kit, which was a "New Look" to go with the new sound. (i.e. he always plays openhanded) (i am this way too, it's easy :)) i agree with the...

Paiste 2002's in the studio you want heavier weights.

Avlex drum mics are amazing for their price, they're made pretty well the same as Audix mics but without the brand name!

what am i looking for then? i'm pretty sure there's no 12-chan pci cards (unless i get two... hey can i do that?) and all these firewire/USB interface thingies with mixers only have 8 channels so i'm not sure what to do now!

i've got a copy of Audition on the way, maybe i'll figure out how to use it. Pardon my noobess but how exactly does one hook up the inputs of one of these Delta 1010's and the like? (i know how to hook it up in the pc but the chan inputs or whatever? how do i get ten outta them?) i'm not a fan...

if you wanted pics of the space we play in... that's the room. pardon my drumset not being together. the mixer and such is on the right, the stereo is behind it. the pa speakers/amps and stuff aren't there either. http://inkinc.kirkwarez.com/ant/pics/Room/MixerTable1.jpg that's my board, got...
