Hi everyone,
I have been watching these forums lately and have spent a lot of time learning and experimenting to make my own setup sound "professional". I think I have done reasonable well and would like your professional opinions. I have been playing the drums for 15 years, but recording.. professionally is some-what new to me. To sum things up, I recently tore down my entire Tama Rockstar Kit, removed all the heads, canned them, cleaned the set, took down all the mics, reset the Yamaha MG10/2 mixer board knobs, and started over. When I got it all built, I found out I only have 4 inputs on my mixer, so I could only use the Oktava MK012 overheads, a D1 snare MIC, and a D4 bass mic. But.... my D4 mic died. Yes, it DIED. No sound, no noise, nothing. So everything you hear in the recording is the following: 5-Piece Tama Rockstar (Vintage Red baby) -14" Snare, 22" Kick, 10" Tom, 12" Tom, 14" Tom Zildjian A-Custom Cymbals and a Wuhan China Two Zildjian A-Custom Hi-Hat Tops ALL Evans Heads -Hydraulics on the Batter Side -G1 Clear Coat for Resonant Side -EQ3 Batter Bass Head with Gibraltar Click Pad Tama Iron Cobra Double Bass Pedal The back kick drum head has a small hole for micing. The bass drum has one pillow in it. I used an Audix D2 Tom Mic INSIDE the bass drum and heavily EQ'd it. I spent approximately 1 hour tuning each drum. The overheads are panned hard left and right, NO EQ what-so-ever. (Give me input on this.. if you think it needs some) The snare Audix D1 has some minor EQ boost. I am aware that mixing kind of sucks.. I would like to track my drums instead... but hey, that crap is expensive and i'm trying to get by for now. At least until I get enough money to buy a high end pre-amp with at least 8 inputs and phantom power. Ok that about sums it up... what do you guys think? Check out Dragen's Drum Sample Thanks! ![]() |
