    GC blowing out Oktava

    <i>The 319 that I bought last weekend came in a cardboard tube but has a frequency chart written in Russian. </i> Mine is exactly the same. I had guitar center order my mk319 from another store since their 2 in stock looked abused and had no mic clips. It came in a tube with a manual printed in...

    vintage ludwig drums

    Thanks for your replies. I was either thinking about getting a vintage ludwig set or building my own as you've suggested before. I've sent an email for quotes but haven't received a reply yet.

    vintage ludwig drums

    I really didn't want this to turn into a Bonham thread because I know there are plenty of those. I guess I'm not really trying to "replicate" his sound. I just really wanted some info on different lines of ludwig drums and how they would sound. Thanks for all the comments, especially Tim. Hey...

    vintage ludwig drums

    I am considering trying to piece together a vintage maple ludwig set. I would like some advice and comments on different lines of drums ludwig put out in the 60's, 70's and 80's. I've come across some ludwig drums described as "super classic modular" and they seem to be a pretty good deal. They...

    bringing out my old vistalites

    i know he never recorded in the studio with them. to me, they sound pretty damn good live though. i just listened to "the song remains the same" live recording today and the drum solo on moby dick is superb. and i've heard they're freakin loud which is good in my case since i play in a band with...

    bringing out my old vistalites

    ok ok, sorry if i knocked those sets. i've played them for years and i've just never been happy with them. by inconsistent i mean that some areas of the edges are wider or more narrow than others.

    bringing out my old vistalites

    when i was 13 years old, my dad bought me my first set. it was a used EIGHT PEICE solid black ludwig vistalite set. since then i've been through a few crappy sets, pearl export, sonor force 2001 and now i think i'm ready to bring the vistalites back. i've actually sold all the vistalites expect...

    suggestions for getting a new snare

    i think lars has always been a nothing special drummer. however, that really doesn't make any difference or not in whether his signature snare actually sounds good. i still haven't really heard it though. i think i'm actually going to go ahead and order a sensitone from music123.com, it's cheap...

    suggestions for getting a new snare

    I've been giving serious thought to the chad smith signature snare and the sensitone. from reading it seems like they've got the sound i'm looking for in a price that suits me well. from the descriptions i've read, they sound great but i'd really love to actually hear them. anyone got any sound...

    suggestions for getting a new snare

    I haven't heard some kind of monster but are you sure he's even using that snare in the recording? i think on that album they tried not to pull any fancy studio tricks to make it sound raw or whatever so maybe the tone of the snare in the recording is actually the tone live. but, he also has a...

    suggestions for getting a new snare

    nobody has addressed my need for ring! i want hefty spoonfuls of ringy overtones. many metal snares with some die cast rims can give me and awesome loud crack and i like that but i want more sound from my snare than one short loud snap. if i'm going to spend $400 on it (which is about my limit)...

    suggestions for getting a new snare

    I'm, in the market for a new snare. I wan't something loud as hell with ring and overtones galore and nice body tuned to a medium-high pitch. It seems like a trend to try to drown a drums tone with die cast hoops and muffling rings and whatnot. But I want my snare to bite you in the ass with a...

    condensor mic for screaming vocals????

    every single person i've talked to who has heard that remix basically said that it butchered the album. i don't want to hear it because i don't want my opinion of the album to change.

    condensor mic for screaming vocals????

    Refused were pretty horrible until "songs to fan the flames.." which was a great album and "the shape of punk to come" being their best work ever. One of the best "punk" albums ever in my opinion. Yes, genres are silly for the most part. They are designed to help explain and categorize music but...

    condensor mic for screaming vocals????

    Stop! technically, screamo is a horrible word in the first place. i would refrain from using it in any situation if at all possible. Stop! half the people here are thinking, "i like the used, so i guess i'm screamo?" Stop!

    upgrading my kit

    I've already spent a long time trying different heads, playing with the tuning and moving them around. I've been wanting to upgrade for a while and the straw on the camels back just recently broke.

    upgrading my kit

    I totally get what you're saying about bad sounding rooms. I've totally loved my current set in some rooms and was completely horrified by others. However, I want to upgrade my set either way. I think I would like to stick with sonor just because I know and trust the brand and I like their...

    upgrading my kit

    Right now I have a Sonor Force 2001 kit. It's done me well through the years with plenty of gigs, bumps, scratches and head stands. I think it's time to upgrade though. This kit has always sounded good to me in our studio practice space but I don't have that now and I was suprised by how bad it...
