I'm looking to get a really open and sustaining kick sound, something like the black keys "brothers" tone, but I don't know where do start. It's probably in the tuning. Right now, I'm using a DW collectors 22 by 18 I think, with a remo power stroke 3, no front head and a audio technica ATM kick mic positioned toward and very close to the shell itself. I have no dampening on it. The power stroke is tuned to finger tight tension.
I have not experimented with kick tuning. Should I put the front head back on and tune it tighter? Is my mic positioning OK? Is it possible to get that tone because I'm using a modern DW, but "brothers" was recorded with a vintage Gretsch?
