Hey that sounds pretty good bro. Sounds like you have a nice room. I'm recording drums in my bands rehearsal space that sounds awful, but another band gave us two big 4'x8' sheets of styrofoam that they used to line their practice place with, and we made a big baffle to make the room sound smaller, and it works pretty well.

By the way, I'm listening on crappy computer speakers, but there seems to be a pretty prominent click sound on the kick. Are you using the "quarter trick"?

Hey Zeke,

Nice drumming. But it is hard for me to tell much about the mix with so much reverb! Try posting it agin with the reverb cut way back.

That being said, the Nady seems to have done a surprisingly respectable job caprturing your cymbals. I think the snare will sound nice once the revberb is cut back. Your toms sound a little dead to me, especially the high tom. Are you using new and well-tuned heads?

well,

the heads on the toms are the sameones that came with the set.(i've only had the set sence dec.) i think that thay are remos.

uladine, what the heck is the quarter trick? i have a shure beta
52 place on the inside on some foam. i cut a little bass will tracking and added a little in the mix. the heads was a "aqurian"
super kick and a plane remo with a muff. ring.
