Nice playing neg. Sounds good! Sounds too good to be just the camera mics. Can you list the mic set up and audio path? How did you get the audio and video together?

Thanks tmix- I like the stereo 1.2 the best as well. It's close to an ORTF set up on that one. It does have a little more verb on it but even without it I seem to get more depth with ORTF. I use a stereo mic bar on one mic stand to save space, and place it above my head, facing more toward the...

No Subkick Someone just PM'd me and asked what kind of subkick I was using for these demos. I wasn't using a subkick at all and I didn't build a tunnel either. I'm just using a dual-element bass drum mic from Audio Technica: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AE2500 I didn't stick the...

Gate? I think it's best to close mic each drum, then insert a gate before Drumagog. It gets tricky with Ghost notes sometimes, so I suggest getting the best sound possible with close miking, so you can blend the real drum back in if you need it. Good luck. Rez

It's a classic debate, but when a drummer can play from the heart and give the music exactly what is called for, be it over the top or way deep in the pocket, that's it! For me personally, it's ALL gotta groove! Listen to "Green Onions". If you can play 64th notes @ 180 bpm, good for you but...

Places like Craigslist and your local classifieds usually have some great deals. I found an old 1967 5 piece Ludwig kit for $200, that would typically sell for $1800 at a Guitar Center store. The deals are out there, just gotta be proactive and patient. Happy hunting, Rez

We've recently had good success with Attack 2 ply heads on toms. Before that we were tried Acquarian Studio X coated, but they didn't last very long. Wonder why... Anyway, I also agree with MadAudio = pinstripes are a usually a good choice.

Hey crew- it's been some time since I posted but wanted to share this with anyone interested. After discussions with a colleague, I posted some examples of different mic techniques on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/evinger Both mono and stereo examples are available. So grab your headphones...

Good info. Tnx for the post. If you were bucking for rep, you got it. Cheers, Rez

Bwaahahahaha very funny ya'll OK kudos to all "ya'll" for keeping me entertained with your posts. LOL! Very funny stuff. Although none of "ya'll" jumped on the joke about tuning by ear... So, How DO "ya'll" tune the drums by ear? I used to try tuning my guitar by ear but it kept getting stuck...

Veneman's unfortunately went out of business about 5 years ago. The one in Springfield is gone daddy gone. The one in Rockville is now a Guitar Center. Major drag if you ask me. I think the closest music store to you in Warrenton is Melodee Music. (Rte. 7 in Sterling). Still a hike though. They...

Definitely check your plug ins and that you're software is paid for. The only other thing that comes to mind is the computer's system beep. In other words- the computer might be telling you that it is overheating or there is some other prob. Or something as simple as email notifications.

I remember those from back in the day, are they still making them? I think they sounded pretty good - less shimmer, shorter wash, good tonal qualities- I'm pretty sure the ride cymbals had a great bell sound too. My advice (because I'm somewhat of a cymbal snob) is to inspect them in person if...

Oh yeah Bruford too! Another very influential drummer! Not to mention Animal too.

I really liked the sound of those older Premier kits. If it is indeed from the 70s, I'd definitely bid on it! Cheers, Rez

Interesting question When I was first started teaching myself drums, I was heavily influences by classic rock. So drummers like Bohnam, Moon, Mitchell, Peart and even Densmore where big influences. But I also really dug the simplicity and pocket of drummers like Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), Phil...

Shareware http://www.sinusweb.de/peak.html This is just one of many shareware plugs that work well. There are bunch of others. Go to KVR and do a search. Even with the ones that don't sound good, you still might learn something. http://www.kvraudio.com/

I may be wrong, but I think Ludwig only had one type of drum set back then. I know they had a few different snares, but I thought the kit was just a "standard for the day" maple Ludwig kit. It's not like things are now, where every company has a whole line with clever names and wood...

Even scarier than that- I have a pair of boots that match your drum kit!

Thanks for the correction on that. Cheers, Rez
