i agree with a very slight chorus on vocals.

vox could come down in sky of maggots and they could use a little low end. guitars could use a little low end and bass could come up.

well i got a chance to play some x7's with good heads today... and for being poplar they sound stunning! nice and crisp, but with good definition and depth. The kick drum is a monster on its own and will push your lungs up to your throat. I wasn't crazy about the snare though, but i've already...

no shit on smoke on the water. and nobody knows the whole song.

hmmm...... looks all off, but i would like to give 'em a shot

rofl. this has got to be one of my favorite days of the year.... a couple hours ago i had my g/f call my mom and tell her she was pregnant... but that we've never had sex. my mom just about died.

umm..... why don't the cymbals move? to be honest it kinda ruined it for me.

Primus - the brown album, frizzle fry, suck on this Machinae Supremacy - any Any from the soundtrack of across the universe Bad Religion - Generator

yeah i'll be building myself a custom kit once i've got the x7's. either keller maple shells or i'll be building stave shells. not sure yet, but i'm bettin some bubinga veneers would look great on 'em....

well, i've played with the fs series kits and they're great as long as they're well tuned, but a bit out of my price range. actually a lot of cheaper kits sound great when they're tuned well. pearl forums, the ddrum diablo kits, the cheaper ludwig accents. it's all in what heads you put on 'em...

many of the fills i do are melodic, based on the range of a 7 piece, not to mention being used to the setup. on the sound note, i've gotten pearl forum (their lowest line) to sound absolutely beautiful. it's all in heads and tuning, and tuning is one thing i do very well.

any other opinions on the x7's?

yup yup go used ziljian. i got a 20" medium ride, 16" medium thin crash, and 14" new beat hihats for around 300, so i'm sure you can find something. all of those were zildjian A too.

here's my mix. Not too great but definitely a cool experience. never gotten the chance to mix with an organ or a sax before. the organ is a bit buried though.... =[ i'll probably work on it with fresh ears tomorrow. http://media.putfile.com/gatormix

sounds good nl5. i'll probably be giving this one a shot tonight or tomorrow

yup yup. you could probably pull it off with one overhead if you dont care about stereo spread, but two would be much better. either one omni or two cardioids would do the trick.

i'd just use that condenser for one overhead, and mic kick and snare. If you have the channels/mics for it mic the toms up too.

rofl nice one donkeystyle. yeah i think close mics are gonna be the way to go on this one bud.... one mic just isn't gonna do it, unless you have some godly eq that will bring out JUST and ONLY the freqs you want......... but i dont see much luck for you there.

awesome. i have until june to figure this out but i want to start gathering my options. and letting students play dw's and settling for x7s? that dude has a kiiiind soul. and i think i want him to teach me. lol.

any experience? looking for a 7 piece that wont break the bank. i realize they're all poplar shells, but so are exports and i tend to really like the tone of the exports, especially the kick drums. you guys think they'd be ok with some good heads?
