Great Job I think you done a great job there mate, and definatly with some more work that could be awsome. That guitar sound is amazing. Dont you just love it when things work like that! I think the drums sound great but in the final mix in my opinion they should be a little quieter to bring...

I did have a look into buying one of these for myself. I played the Mapex birch and then i also played the DW pasifica Birch and in my opinion the DW sounded better, It had a bit more projection with a nice round sound to the toms and a great sounding kick and the price tag on them isnt at all...

Does anybody use or rate sennhiser for drum mics? I have been introduced to someone who used to work for sennhiser and they still have an account with them. The guy said he can get me some mics for some real silly prices. I need to now if they are any good and which ones to get. What I want...

Did you have any luck?

I recorded this song with a band once but i cant find the cd i will try again though. I got a sound near on exactly the same with a 6" Dixon cowbell. The one the Free drummer used wasn't a big one cos its quite high pitched with a short decay on it, I am guessing it was a 6" or maybe an 8"...

The best way to do it is to get a company who specialises in vynal stick on graphics usually for vans and stuff cos the stuff they use will stick to a drum head like sh*t to a blanket and they can cut it into any design you like within reason and they wont charge you a bomb to do it. Also you...

I have borrowed some fairly new ones when i done some recording and the are just the dogs. Yes they are a bit thicker and little less washy but they still sound amazing and not as much different from the originals as you might think. The 24" ride can just lift a song to new hights when you play...

Paiste 2002 24" It's all you'll ever need. :)

I have just bought myself an AKG d112 for my kick and i set it up at practice to have a play with it and it's awsome. It gives me the exact sound i was looking for from my kick, when it was set up right my bass drum sounded like thunder! I just gotta get the over head now and i'm not too clued...

Is it really better to have one mic overhead and one mic on the snare as opposed to two overhead mic's?

Cool cheers mate. You got any recordings of yourself? Would love to hear some if you have.

Cheers tim, I take it you got the ohletree vid as well :) Our sound man is studying music tech so doesnt have his own gear, he basicly practices his techniques with us and a coulple of other bands so he uses our PA rig. He's a dead handy person to have when you are just a local band. The...

Don't put pillows inside your bass drums !!!!!!! W I D E O P E N is best! I have a 24" x 14" bass drum. Coated ambassadors batter and reso with an evans eq patch on the batter to stop the head splitting. If i need to i use felt strips front and back. On the batter i use a strip at the...

You recon if i get two of those MXL 990's they should do the job? On the two overheads what sort of eq should i use to capture the drums and the cymbals together? What mic should i use for the bass drum? Sorry about the site, it is playin up a little we will get it fixed asap! Feel free to...

I need to know what mics to use and where to put them on my kit. My bands soundman has the option of recording our live gigs so i need them to be capable of getting a respectable sound for recording as well as just giving them some more volume. I have a big kit, set up and tuned like bonhams...
