If you have an iphone/ipad or android phone.. try one of the wireless transport controls. Being a drummer myself, I have a rough time tracking by myself and my recording pc is only 15 feet away from the set. so I use this.. Saitara Software it was only 9 bucks for the ipad.. simply...

I built one using a 10" speaker and a 10" electric drum shell ( because it was shallow enough ).. this made it soooo easy to build.. take the mesh head off the trigger.. take the innards out... the 10" speaker fits right on the shell bearing edge... put the mesh head and rim back on.. tighten...

Not as well placed as you might think.. I thought that too.. and I was constantly trying new mics and positions.. killing myself to get that "magic" sound I heard in my head and on all those great recordings that I referenced. Then I tried leaving the mics alone, turning down the pre-amp gain...

it's funny .. you can hear a little crackling sound later in the track.. I found that's my number 3 tom mic being hit by the ride cymbal..

I have plenty of fader left on the kick LOL.. I'm probably going to do some parallel compression and EQ the bass,toms and snare just a tad.. but i'm trying to get the best raw sound I can.

my main kit mics are from samson. ( the kit box they sell ) samson C02 overheads in a medium wide spaced pair ( about a foot and a half apart ) equidistant from the snare ( 40 inches ). samson tom mics as high as they go on the mounts ( about 4 inches up pointing at the center of the toms ) I...

this is the drum track for my bands latest song. There is no EQ, compression or reverb on any of the individual tracks. Let me know if you want more details ( kit, mics, placement, room, etc ) FYI.. this was more a scratch track/proof of concept.. i'm going back to re-record a tighter...

I will say that the drums sound AMAZING in this space.... I did turn the desk counter clockwise and i'm basically facing the middle of that left wall now... bass did improve a lot as did the stereo image ( I use Steely Dan's AJA CD as a reference CD, IMHO one of the most sonically perfect...

There's a big assed picture window right in front of you... on the plus side.. I do have really really heavy acoustic drapes on both windows ( there's another window to the side of my drums that you can barely see in the pics.)

do you mean set up so I'm facing the left hand wall and put absorbers at the reflection point on the wall behind the monitors? or put my back against the wall?

Here is a quick drawing of the room... you can see the 2 other walls ( one behind me in the picture and one to my left...)

oh LOL.. those are PA speakers for when the band practices... it's dark but you just make out the Alesis MkII's on the stands in front the Behringers :)

here is my space.. yes.. it's large and high.. I took the pics up against the back wall and as you can see, the right side is completely open and has 16 foot tall ceilings. Right now, my desk and monitors are in the middle of the space, but i've noticed a lack of bass ( maybe I have the...
