I'd def. go the Audix route. You only put your SM-57 you already own in your Shure list. If you buy the Audix, you still have the SM-57, which means you have a spare mic. You may want it so you can have two on the snare drum. Or you could sell one mic to fund you headphones and stuff, although I...

That's the one I was remembering, thanks. And thanks to the other post too, although I already know the theory of it. I just wanted the link so I could get hold of the names. Not much use, but I wanted it as a reference.

Hey, a while ago I saw a link someone posted to a site that had a bit of detail on many ways of stero mic'ing with two (some techniques had 3) mics. It wasn't specifically for overheads, but that's what I'm looking for. If anyone can repost that link, that'd be great.

I'm affraid for $600 AU you really will get almost nothing. Exports can be picked up for $1400, 2005's for $1600 if you're lucky. Second hand they drop down to about $1000. It's ridiculous, but you gotta live with it. I'd say wait til you can get a 2005 second hand. Maybe I'll seel my export...

Yes, most people would call that the "standard" rock beat. There used to be thousands of tabs (kinda like sheet music converted to text files), on the internet, but most of the sites closed down due to sheet msuic companies claiming it was illegal. I never quite understood what happened there...

JTS NX-9's are what I use They're not the best, but look into them This company is cheap in Aus, and I found you can get them in the UK: http://www.bluearan.co.uk/menu/index.php?id=JTSNX9 I'll try be more helpful later!

No, I know exactly what you're talking about I think. I'm just talking about the way I work at drums I guess. I try to avoid simple beats, and try to get away from the norm. Although even when I try this, it's often more practical to play a simple beat and chuck a fill in at the end. I just...

I think there's a lot more to keep in mind than that. Drumming has a lot more to it than beat - tom fill - beat - tom fill. This guys asking for beats in different styles anyway. adauria, can you tell us what you already know. Do you know about standard rock beats, or would you like that...

That's fantastic! Good work. Where are the results though?

It's true. You don't HAVE to mic the bottom, but when you hear your snare live, you hear both heads, the snare wires, and the wood. By mic'ing the top head, you're obviously not going to get the sound that you hear live.

Search for the Audix i5 on the forum. There was a great thread with a link to two simultaneously recording clips with an SM-57 and an i5, and I personally preferred the i5. It is also well machined out of metal rather than cast out of plastic, which broke on one SM-57 I used.

I hate people like that in shops. Some are great guys, some are just dickheads. I bought a cymbal after taking a lot of time deciding exactly what i wanted. The day i went to get it, the two guys in drum department weren't there, and I told the old wanker manager the price they'd quoted, and...

Are you not happy with the NT-1? I'm not going to be able to help I'm affraid, but people will want to know the sort of sound you're looking for, and what the NT-1 isn't doing for you, before they advise on the marshall or sometehing else.

Yeah, that's the firepod - a 10 channel fire-wire multi-track. I've heard it's fantastic. If you have the money, get it, but as said before, it can be done without multitracking.

Hey, I have very little experience recording vocals, and do not have a mic designed to record them as such (like a LDC). I have some SDCs and a bunch of instrument dynamics. Would using one of each extremely close together have any disadvantages? I have the feeling it will give a stronger...

That's the way I do it. It's cheap and easy to set up the gear (although you have to get the mixing done first as the other guy said - but you can still pan your drums left and right and get a great stereo sound if you get it right). If you've got the money, an 8 track will give you more...

Offset cams don't necessarily mean you can play faster beats, they do give a little extra power in each stroke though. If your pedal's awesome, and you're not doing a lot of drumming, I'd save your money and practice, as you said. But if you're up for buying gear, I can't blame you. I just love...

They're really cool for the price! Did you get wood or steel? And 10" or 12"? Second snares can really add alot to your drumming

OK, I don't like the music I admit. http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/TravisBarkerrudiment.html Watch that and then show us how much better you are when you hold your sticks properly.

If you want to tour, get something new so you can get spare parts easily and quickly and cheaply. The exports have great hardware (my favourite), but in the same league, the Sonor Force 2005 are completely birch kits, and have a greater sound. The low end Tamas seem to suck balls! Those are...
