I know, but if you are after a dead thump - why complicate things? If you want something unorthodox: I like a 28" with no muffling and the heads so loose that the metal is rattling. I've got a D112 mounted inside the kick with full heads on it. It is the thickest/biggest kickdrum sound ever...

If you are after nice and tight, take the front head off. probably 90% or more of the recordings that have that really tight thump of a kick drum sound are done with a single head. The front head adds resonance - which is the exact opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. You COULD Mic...

:eek: That is hilarious! A girl I know always tells guys who are pestering her with the "Don't I know you from somewhere" kind of lines and she would say that perhaps he saw her at work, and he'd be like,"yeah!" and then she'd say she worked at the VD clinic. :) Tim

There is a lever on the right side of the pedal to engage/disengage the second mallet. It's a neat idea, but I'd rather just be faster.:D Tim

I know what you mean - on the last 2 releases, the drums were a bit higher in pitch than I personally like. But MAN do I hate the drum sound on "Fighting the World" - it's like they tried to get the "Creatures of the Night" drum sound from Kiss to the "nth degree", but they have way too much...

Man, I go away for a few days and come back and this thread has totally been derailed!:eek: I like Jaegermeister. :) Okay, I'm off to the Cave where I can be myself... oh yeah, and I've got to write some song for the song writing contest. I need to get my brother to work on it with me -...

Man - Sweet drumkit! :D Tim

I don't know.... I've got an older ddrum2 system, and to be quite honest it sounds very much like a real kit.... I bought it specifically for live use. Think about it - you get a perfectly clean drum sound live, and at the level of bands like Kiss, or Manowar - you can have your own sounds...

I would either get an Axis (The X is fine - it works just like the A, it just isn't as easy to modify the throw/feel) or a Speed King. I hate chain-drive and sprocket pedals. I went through quite a few of them trying to find one that felt just right to me - and I never could. Tim

I'm going to have to look into these panels. I actually haven't seen one in person. Has anyone looked into buying like, an old office cubicle? Is that what these panels are? Tim

fitZ, That is a GREAT Idea! I was thinking that he might be able to get some kind of solid wooden post, and have it cut in half, and then joined together and a venerr put over it, but your idea is a lot better. Tim

Well, I can only say that from my experience between Pork Pie and DW based solely on the actual drum sound and quality of the drum itself - I'd take a Pork Pie kit any day of the week - even though I think the name is the dumbest name in the world. Tim

:eek: Hahahah!!!!!! Good one! :p Tim

I have no experience with the "little squealer" (I've never even heard of it) but I have a friend who has a Pork Pie kit and it is unreal. One of the best sounding kit's I've ever heard or recorded. He strictly uses a 4-piece kit (18"x22", 10"x12" and 14"x16" rack toms with a snare) So, what he...

I like the Rackmount 234 "Syncassette". Tim

You need to let some of the air out of it so it flattens out when it hits - that yields the best smack.:D You just have to cut it off as soon as the smack ends - otherwise you get the ring of the air inside the ball bouncing around.:p I didn't even have to EQ it. But I did put a little...

Phil, this is where I would argue against this. What if the kick sound I want is not anything like a natural sounding kick? I've done some crazy stuff for a kick sound - such as sampled a basketball smacking on a concrete floor. (man, that makes an AWESOME Mallet strike for the kick drum.) I...

I've used the Massive Passive before. Yes, I prefer an Active Parametric EQ over a Passive EQ. You need the basics before you start throwing money on extra's. My friend who bought it has no real mic pre's, and crappy monitors. That was why I couldn't understand why he bought it - I still think...

[smartass mode] I said over, not near! [/smartass mode] :p Technically, he paid over $4,000 for it.... he bought it new at Sweetwater.:D What I'm saying is, if my only recording gear was 3 mic's(A rode Tube, a lower end Neumann, and some kind of AKG condenser) a PC with Sonar7, and a MOTU...

Does it have to be an audio file with it, or is it just lyrics? I am "studio-less" at the moment. The gear is all packed away - I'm moving in a few months, so I didn't see the point in unpacking all that stuff. I really need to get some kind of little stand alone DAW at least for a digital...
