    Matched/Unmatched price difference

    Yeah. They won't be needed for complete overheads like toms and snare. Those will be as much as possible cut out of the mix and even the I'll make that sure in the mic placement. I can say that on the left it should get the following cymbals: 17", 18" crash & Mini Chinese 12" richt mic 18" 16"...

    My first recorded song (metal)

    Sounds nice I'd say. What did you use for the guitar? What amps? What eq/effects? Allthough bad quality I really like the sound of the guitars. www.lightningmp3.com You can upload MP3's there in a bit higher quality.

    Listen to my Drum-mix

    Thanks..well offcourse I want to try and find my own sound..but I really like it to go in that direction. And now that you say..offcourse a bass-sound should fit with it..and since the Mudvayne's bass player has a very particular style so it will be kinda hard.. On my bass drum I use a AKG D112...
