I bought a new snare. It's a Pearl Firecracker. It's cheap, and I like it. I bought remo heads for it too but I haven't had a chance to really change them or tune the thing right yet. Anyway, I just wanted to tell all you guys that. Maybe you can give me some opinions on it, if anyone owns it or...

You are all amazing in here. I bought a pair of MXL 603s because of you guys and they sound awesome! Also on top of that.. for the less than year I've been here I have learned SO much about recording and equipment and believe it or not I've been playing drums for almost 8 years now and I FINALLY...

haha I know the general rule of recording is to track it right... well.. I'm recording this band and thier vocalist is kind of, well..... eh. I'm thinking about trying to use some kind of distortion plug in on his voice and a toutch of reverb but I don't know what else I might be able to do. If...

So my dad has this kit, its a peavey radial pro anniversary set. Apparently it is like 3-ply maple with some kind of carbon-based reinforcement. Well, what Im trying to say is, its nice. So, this is the problem: My dad can NOT tune drums for shit. I hate to say it but the old man whos been...

I got my MXL 603's today and I toyed with mic placement earlier (before I had the 603s unfortunately) and I realized that I need to double-mic my bass drum to get the sound I want from it. So I was thinking, I'm moving my stuff out of my place and into my friends place and the one mic I used for...

Is there a difference? If so, what? I just ordered what I thought was a pair of 603 from ebay and I got one 603 and one 603s ......

There is an ad in Musicans Friend for a pair of MXL 993s for 179. I am thinking about buying them because right now I am using CAD CM217s and it seems like a lot of people on here use MXL's for OH's. Do you guys feel they are good overhead mics? And is there something that I can get for the same...

So I'm thinking this but not sure, I figured I would ask for some advice... V-drums (TD10 brain) have 4 outputs, L and R on each. So that makes 8 total right? So, I was figuring I could do this. I will use the master outs L and R for my cymbals. The Direct 1 L and R for my kick, the Direct 2 L...

If I spend about 150 on a new snare and kick mic, what should I get? I was thinking sm57 on the snare and then I don't really know what to use for the kick? Thanks.

I got a quick recording, sorry for the mess up and sorry for the bad playing but it was like 1:30am and I can't be too loud for too long. Anyway, this is the first real thing I have done with my Pacific. This is mixed, with compression on the kick and toms and EQ on the overheads and kick. I use...

what would be the difference in sound between micing outside the kick and inside the kick? Say 3" away from the hole? What about 6-12" away from the hole? Thanks.

test? yeah, mods: delete this or something. I am just testing to see if I can post because it is not working for me in the drum section for some reason?

Does anyone do any recording with these? I played on one for a few minutes at a buddys house, not tuned or anything, and it didn't sound bad. I like the way it doesn't have much decay and it's really fast. If you have sound clips I'd love to hear them...

Okay so, I took my drums over to someones house to try out for a band yesterday (I made the cut, and it's definately a good band, so I'm excited, anyway..) and we set everything up in the basement. Honestly, I was real surprized, but everything sounded AMAZING in this kids basement. Now, I...

So I think I got my toms tuned in to where I want them, they go something like D, F, G, C, D (lowest to highest) but the high D is higher than my snare. I would just simply tune my snare higher, but the head on it is really tight already. Should I not worry about it or should I try to get my...

See the image I attached? That's the hoop on my bass drum on the front. The front is a remo powerstroke III ebony. I got it from guitar center. For some reason, I can't get the metal part of the head to sit on the hoop right, it's almost like the head is out of round. The shell is okay and I...

What if I just put two sdc's on either side of my kit like 10-15 feet away instead of using overheads? Should I even try it? Has anyone done it? What kind of sound do you get?

Okay, it's like this: I'm going on 8 years of playing the drums, almost every day, for 30minutes+ everytime I practice, and I don't feel like I am playing as well as I should be able to. I blame most of this on strength and speed. Now, I see a lot of 'bigger' guys play, and they seem to be able...

I'm thinking about buying DFH but I'm not sure exactly what I need to use it. Do I need to have something like fruity loops in order to utilize the the DFH software? Does it come with a sequencing software in it? I don't really want to use FL because I feel really limited with it as far as...

I'm searching for a new drum set, in fact, I am trying to find something around the 800-dollar range that is wood and with or without a snare it doesn't matter. I like the sound of maple, I know that already, but most sets I can find in maple are not in my price range. There is a mapex set that...
