I am probably the only guy playing oak? Yamaha oak customs.. Yamaha hardware.. and UFIP Cymbals.

My only issue is that it doesnt quite sound chuggy enough.. how cna i increase the chug without having to increase the gain?

already making huge leaps.. i feel anyways.. check out this clip.... http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=2745

yeah.. ive read about a quarter of it.. and am experimenting with things hes saying .... even just your tip of turning down the gay helps a lot.. it comes across as heavy as i want.. on the recoridng but doesnt sound as heavy in person as id like.. cool tip// thanks..

I posted the wrong clip completely.... here is the real one.. duhh... sorry im an idiot.. im ok with you hating on that clip.. that clip was nothing.. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=2732

So I recently purchased a NADY RSM-2 for 200$(shipped) brand new off ebay. I always hear how ribbons sound so different.. and are a really cool addition to any studio. My friend who i always record with came over and we had a little jam.. i just threw the ribbon on a mic stand about 5 feet from...
