It's important to note that birch does not equal birch does not equal birch. That is, one company may use a lesser grade than another and the specie of wood alone does not make sound. Therefore, trust your ears and a company's reputation more than their marketing points. I play a poplar ELX...

wank, wank, good for you, you've got cash, you get paid, congrats, etc... :) I play shitty dive bars, with west coast punks, that don't play OCDPs.

plastic beater, or for some good ghetto style just tape some quarters to your felt beaters.

LOL, west coast punks? Yeaaaaaah, because punks have enough dough to blow over a grand on a snare. :p :p :p If you've got enough money to buy a drum like that, why are you home recording and not dropping cash on a "real" studio?

Thank you very much, breeeeza, it's my favorite song too and the only one where I actually wrote my own drum part! :p

No personal experience, but I've read seller feedback on some of those SM57's going for way too cheap from Chinese sellers that said they're fakes.

thanks, blind sublime! I will definitely try cutting the lows out on the guitars, that sounds like a cool idea for sure. So is it kinda standard to EQ each track individually then? We're only EQing the vox, kick, snare and drum overhead individually right now.

aspiring, thank you very very much for taking the time to give them a listen. I really appreciate the feedback! And I totally agree with everything you about the guitars! It's a slight battle between me (the drummer) and the guitarist. :p A click is going to be a requirement for the next stuff...

Boy, I'm telling ya. I get some good response in my threads here! :rolleyes:

Hi, I've been playing drums for 3 years and playing recording for 6-10 months. I'm a frequent lurker here. This is my band's first attempt at recording ourselves, it's a DEMO. Constructive criticism? www.thegoingratemusic.com/music/The Going Rate - Anything at All.mp3...

smoke some more rock?

Wait, you bought a DW but you want to cheap out on recording gear? What gives!

heres some shots from the last time I recorded

erm, this thread is almost a year old and was with a band that never came to be. Yuck, I still had those B8s in there too! but more importantly, because I still used essentially the same process in the latest recording I did, why wouldn't I want bass and drums first?

brandrum and a dude called GreenDank??? Sounds like a match made in heaven! :p As a drummer, I struggle alot with recording my drums too fwiw. But that's because I'm a drummer and not an engineer I guess.
