I just got done dicking with this axis pedal I got from a friend for like 3 hours.. My dad had the double pedal and I guess half of it blew up on him so he had the other half laying around and I got the other one hoping to use the first one for spare parts. What a freakin pain in the ass it was...

So, I got ahold of a reso superkick from my dads kit and I got bored and decided to throw it on my kit. WOW what a world of difference! I had a head that used to be the batter side PDP stock POS head painted and a hole cut in it from when I bought the kit but I didn't realize how big of a...

Well...? Polls are fun! But seriously, I am thinking about switching back to a single pedal... at least untill I can save up enough money to order another kick drum and a couple of new pedals. (in otherwords, a year or two) Also it seems like my right foot isn't conditioned for fast double...

I know this probably isn't the best question since I already have a feeling the answer is no, but, I kind of suck at singing and regardless how much I practice I can't seem to get my voice to overcome a very nasily tone. Is there a mic out there that will sort of take some of that out of the...

Just do like this guy: http://break.com/index/stop_motion_piano_and_drums.html

So my laptop has no firewire ports. I was thinking about maybe getting a PCMCIA firewire card but the cheapest I can find one is for 13.99.. I know that is real cheap but I would like to spend less cuz im broke lol Anyway, I was wondering if any of you guys know of any kind of firewire/usb cable...

Do any of you guys know off hand if there is some sort of free spectrum analyzer that will show something like peak db for the whole track? I'm thinking maybe if I can find something like this it will help me to visually compare things a little bit better and get a better mix? Thanks

So I tried the kick-tunnel thing today.. it turned out pretty good. The only thing is I made a mistake in mic placement. See, I have a hole in the center of the resonant bass head and I placed the mic in the center of the tunnel right? wrong. Apparently sound travels faster than air, so it's...

My dad's looking at getting new heads and I wanna make sure hes not going to buy total crap. His kit rings... A LOT. Especially because he likes to tune his heads high. The reviews mostly talked about how much these heads kill overtones and ringing. That's what hes looking for. I was wondering...

So I can't get my kick drum to sound how I want it when I am using a head that is vented. It sounds really good in the room, more specifically, it sounds a LOT better in front of the kit than behind it. I tried to throw a mic on it last night and do some recording and I have the whole kit...

I got a couple pics of my kit. Figured I'd post them here just for kicks... Comments welcome! Me playing on them... ..And my big bad recording console haha

I didn't really know where to put this, so I posted it here. I am using a firepod that came with Cubase LE, I am looking for some sort of sequencing utility that will help me write simple drum parts, piano, violin, stuff like that, then import it to cubase. I've used fruity loops before but it's...

I'm about to do a search on google, but I figured I'd ask here since there is a lot of hidden information and talent here :D I've got an old vista-lite kit that I am trying to tune and I can't get the toms to quite sound right. I finally figure it out, some of the hoops are bent. I'd just go...

Should I track everything on one project, and just mix the cd as a whole, or should I track individually and mix everything separately? (obviously I am noob to mixing so I'm not shooting for anything incredible just keeping everything from sounding horrible)

So while listening to something probably done in a professional studio with expensive mics and a protools setup, i thought about it, and i came up with the question.. I have 'decent' mics, and I'm fairly sure I'm doing all of my tracking correctly, but for some reason everything sounds...

Any idea how he gets his drums to sound like they do? From what I can pick up off of it, it sounds like hes using pinstripes on his toms, not sure about the snare and kick but maybe a birch kit and everything is mic'd further than normal in a pretty large room? What do you think?

Wondering what people are doing out there... I usually play with my shoes on untill just recently I'm trying to learn some actual technique to double-bass instead of the ole' 1-2 RL thing. I started playing barefoot and I noticed it's 50 times easier and I feel less fatigue from it. What do you...

Can anyone do me a big favor and post some clips of some stuff so I can get an idea of if I'm not tuning right, not micing right, or not mixing right? I want to hear some un-processed samples of the following: Overheads (panned maybe just to get the feel of what JUST the overheads should sound...

I know this has probably been discussed before, but I want to put this in my exact words. I CAN'T get my toms to stop sounding like tympanies. It's kind of upsetting. I'm following the DTB to try to tune them but I can't make any headway. :confused:

I was wondering if anyone knows of any pics of his setup as far as his kit or what he uses for recording. Also does anyone know if he has any dvds or anything? I know he is still not that known but I love everything about the way he plays and the way his kit sounds. I'm pretty sure he uses Truth...
