Any thoughts on leaving drums in sub zero temperatures. I live in Ontario Canada.I am back and forth between two houses and sometimes I'm away from my cabin for a few days without putting a fire on. I always gather up all my guitars and recording stuff if I am going to be away for any time and...

I'm interested in what everybody considers to be the most useful or practical setup up for practice pad setup. The one that gets the most use for me is just a simple 6" real feel pad taped on top of a guitar stand( it gives it a good angle and it can be raised or lowered). But I also find that...

Anybody used this instructional dvd/cd/book combo. I've read lots of good reviews on it but havent talked to anyone who has used it. I would rate myself as an intermediate drummer (played guitar all my life) and I would really like to perfect all the standard beats but also really keen to get...

I've been AWOL for a while and on my return I have noticed that the rep points for some of the good folk on this forum have skyrocketted to perverse heights. Did I miss something? Or has everybody been incredibly helpful and friendly to each other in my absence. Perhaps the system has been...

This thread is based on a response I got concerning Yamaha Tour Custom drums, made in japan, 20 plus years old. Tour Customs were definitely pro kits back in the day. I can't remember their exact composition. I'm thinking it was a birch/mahogany combo, but don't quote me on that...

I bought a set of these a few weeks ago. They are about 20 years old and are made in japan. I've been listening to them for the past few years as they belonged to a friend of mine and have always been blown away by the sound and the yamaha quality. I cant seem to find too much info on them...

Now that I have your attention. While instructing my son how to position himself over the toilet bowl to pee so as not to overshoot and pee all over the floor at the other side, or to stand too far away and dribble on the floor closest to himself, the scene suddenly became familiar and I...

Am I losin it or what? I'm a guitarist mainly, but for the past 9 months recording drums for my own stuff has been a real passion. I used to spend most of my time tracking new stuff but these days I am obsessed with getting the best possible sound out of my drums to the point of madness. It is...

I find that if I leave my mics set up for my drums I tend to record a lot more. Going and getting them out and plugging them in is just one more little deterrent. I have a pair of mxl604's as o/h an audix d6 on kick and a 57 on snare. I put the foam wind guards on the 604's but leave the others...

I'm using 3 mics to record drums, stereo o/h, and a kick mic. It all sounds pretty good but just wondering what I can do to the snare to beef it up without upsetting the rest of the stuff in the o/h's. Dont have capacity to close mic the snare at the moment but hopefully that will change soon...

Hi guys I'm a guitarist and play drums enough to record my own stuff. I love recording live drums but it comes with its own frustrations given my set up. Ive got an opportunity to buy a set of roland td10's for $2000 (can). Ive used them b4 and have liked them a lot, but again they have a few...

anybody still using an sm57 for kick drum and happy with it? anybody moved on to greater things but still go back to a 57 for a particular sound, or once you move on you dont go back. I went to buy a kick mike recently and the sales guy told me that the d112 was a good mike but that it was 'kind...

Im a guitarist but play some drums and have been recording a lot of live drums lately. I used a 57 on the kick for a while and got a pretty good sound after all the appropriate EQ ing. I recently bought an audix d6 and was hoping that I would shove it in the kick drum and it would magically...

just made a quick trip to the states and picked up two mxl604's. I went in to get the 603's but it appears they have been replaced by the 604's with omni option, sounded good to me. I forgot about the matched pair phenomenon and just grabbed two from the shelf. How important is it to get a...

any one had any experience with the atm41he mic? Went in to buy a 58 and the sales guy talked me into this one. excellent live vocal , tried it for recording and it was ok. Ive only seen it mentioned here once.

After soaking up tons of excellent info from this site, there is one chunk of information that I have been searching for but cant seem to find in one place. As microphones have become my latest obsession, I find myself looking at all old photos, new photos of live/recording situations trying to...
