Thanks for the reply. Yes the kick was turned up and sounds a lot better thanks for that. Also the Audix Mics are really good for toms. It was in my budget at the time and since then I haven't thought to get something else.

Hey everyone! Okay, I recorded my band's upcoming EP. Need some suggestions on the mixing and overall tone of everything. Here's the specs on the drums. Recorded in a 16X16 room with wood floors, nice reverby touch. Kick- Shure Beta52 (5 inches from beater) Snare- SM57 Rack Tom- Audix F10 Floor...

i have a DW set and I can't complain. It's almost hard to beat the true sound of a DW with the proper tuning, heads, etc... Although an orange county set would be fun if i had about 5 grand to waste. I played on a vented snare last night, and he told me it costed $850. Now that's where I draw...

Hello, Right now I'm in the process of recording my band. But we are having some problems with the echo and reverb of the room being the drums are in a circular cut out in the room. Also there is no real isolation for the vocals except out in the main room. Is there any cheap efficient ways to...

yeah, have you tried EQing the snare and the toms. Other than that it sounds pretty good. Try giving the snare maybe some small reverb to give it a more lively tone.

nice work man. i'm in the process of thinking about building my own kit but don't even really where to start. I don't have much experience in this at all and need a new set before my band goes on tour. Right now I have a DW which sounds great but want something new and different sounding. I set...

for this, i would suggest buying an SM 58 for the kick and a 57 for the overhead.

mars did you guys hear that mars is goin out of business? yeah they filed for bankruptcy. i didnt think mars had that good of guitars or drums but i liked their pro-audio and DJ sections.

I know that Scott Phillips plays on a Premier Signia Marquis.. I do agree that the drum sound on weathered is really good..probably just mic selection and effects.

Hello, My band has a gig coming up this weekend and I haven't had much experience with tesing out different heads and how they each differ live. My band's sound is along the lines of Deftones/Hard Rock sound and I was just wondering what would be the best heads to obtain deep sounding toms and...

drum pad thanks for the reply, Yes, I am going to be using this for live purposes as well. Am I better off getting a better drum pad than the one that I posted above? One that offers more flexibility in different sounds and things like that. Thanks

Hello, I am interested in buying the drum pad on the link below. I was wondering what kind of module do I need or what other equipment I need to make it work. I am wanting something with different drum sounds and other non-drum effects. Thanks in advance...

best drums. I'm going to go with DW!! I've played several drum sets while recording and I find that the DW's give you the best sound in My opinion. But my second choice would be Premier Signias series or something like that!!

..The way I tune my heads is very stressfully. I am very impatient to sit there and fiddle with something until it sounds right...so I take the lazy way. I take some toilet paper...about 2 or 3 squares..i fold it up and then put it under the tom. I stick it on with electrical tape and boom my...

Im thinking about purchasing drum triggers for my toms and snare!! I don't want to run effects through them but I want to make them deeper and more Beasty sounding. Can drum triggers do that or do i need just to mic them. Is that what drum triggers are for and also do i need to buy a module to...

i like it!!! going big? ehhh maybe...i don't see much airplay for this kind of music, being radio stations today are worthless and just filled with commercials, have you tried to get your songs on the radio or sent out anything to record companies? you could definitely build a strong fan...

what are the things i need the most with about a $200 budget? I already have a 788, 2 sm57's, sm48, condensor mic, mackie 1402 vlz pro...some other little crap. is there anything i need to get that will really improve the recordings? thanks

Alright I just got done recording, but when its quiet an annoying sound lingers among the track. At the beginning, theres a buzz, im recording from the 788 into Sound forge? This is my first recording onto the computer so it won't be that great, but any suggestions would be great! Heres the link...

my soundcard is an SiS 7018 Wave! I think the reason why it sounded like crap is because I couldn't see the audio VU coming into Acid. So i didn't know if it was clipping or the right levels. It's just my first transfer, Im sure i will get better!!! Hopefully gidge- do you have any suggestions...

Well it sounds like CRAP!!!!! Straight off the 788 into Acid! IS there any other better programs that lets you record from line in and sounds halfway decent? I guess I gotta get used to this recording. I forgot to put the bass hole mic in the bass hole it was sitting outside my room. I guess u learn
