Whew, this thread has grown. Well here's my latest drum recording. Made a few changes. Got the snare sounding a little better, I think.

This is a funny thread. But since I am new to recording I would definitely say hearing other people's drums sounds are a good thing because what if I listen to someone telling me a "good" way to record them and then I hear a clip and they sound like shit. Of course I'm not going to take suggestions from that person. So I'd say post some up. Oh yea, question is with a Q by the way.

You should have included the new improved toms and ride sounds in there too. We'll be waiting....
Overall sound is clearer, crash cymbal sounds better, but still a little "sizzly" sounding to my ears. Question to home recording vets, is that recording level or mic SPL issue?
I listened to the 1st take again on my home speakers and the ride wash sounded fine. I blame my crappy PC speakers at work! *lame smile & shrug*
Eveybody listening is going to have different types and quality of speakers. I guess you need to take that into consideration.

too loud? too quiet? too bright? too dull? too thin? too phat? not good to your taste?
what for?
what for?
How do one loose the verb?
Do you mean reverb effect? How do you know if JR did 'apply reverb'? Could it be 'natural room environment'... where ever he recorded his drum kit.
In tune with what?
Let me guess, you've guessed from 'price list'. Cos' B8s and ZBTs can only be confused by price-tag , but not by their sound... especially if your ear is SO good for guessing...
********
Me too
Precisely! Tuning included...
/respects
Wow, you are totally wrong, and an a** for giving me ng rep. The cymbals sound like small cheap cymbals. The snare needs to be tuned tighter because it is not registering with the shell, and dosn't sound good. There is NO WAY that is natural reverb!
Also, i do have a great ear. I was told this by the most well respected man on drums, Jeff Ochaltree. We are good friends and talk almost everyweek. Dont get mad at me cause i voice my opinion ON A DRUM/RECORDING FORUM and was answering to a guy that was asking about how his drums sound. Jeez!

I didn't give you ng rep. I don't get involved in "rep this-rep that"-game here. sorry, dudeDuoToneBand said:
Small? Like 10" ? or like 12" .. or what? smaller?DuoToneBand said:
Cheap? Like what 10-buck each or what?
You gotta be more specific.
Well, that may be a good advice.... especially with explanation why to tune it tighter. It does not sound good to your ear. It sounds good to mine. The word here is: could be ... not needs to be tuned tighter.DuoToneBand said:
You may be right on this one. It would not hurt to ask about it thou, to make sure....DuoToneBand said:

I didn't say anything other than I saw your site. I made no comment about it whatsoever. Actually, the design work is quite good!
Although, it sounds to me like "Dr. ZEE" is probably one of those obnoxious guys that walks into the bar and everyone diverts their face because they don't want him to see them. You know, the hyper jackass that tells everyone how great he is and won't stop talking until you just feel your hands wanting to just reach up and strangle the life out of him! The guy that has no clue that everyone would rather leave the room than spend one more minute talking to him. The guy that refers to himself in the third person. The guy who always has a comment even though no one asked him! The guy that always talks 3 inches from your face all the time and just ... won't ... ever ... SHUT ... UP!!!!
You know?

Good writing, Phil...also pretty good imagination.PhilGood said:
There's a method. If you want to find out something about a person - do not ask him/her a question about him/herself. Instead ask him/her to describe somebody else.
...okey, all this sh*t aside,It sounds to me like "PhilGood" is probably one of those guys that seats in the same bar for long time - long enough to start feeling that it is HIS bar and so he starts expecting everyone else to treat the place like it is HIS bar, and so, everyone who walks into "his" bar without taking hat off first with a friendly smile directed to Phil looks obnoxious to him.... forget about asking any questions or speak to him.
I did my best "imagining things"
Well, Phil, I am sorry to wake you up from your imaginations...but there's no bar here... no room and nobody seats in here. People who post on the b-board may just post exclusively for sake of posting in respects to the subject of the discussion and for the one and only reason - interest in the subject of discussion - that is. No rooms, no bars, no horses, no bikes, no personalities, no good/bad guys, no FU*ng drama at all what so ever. Maybe it's too boring for you, Phil, ...well, so what'cha gonna do. Not everyone has such great imagination like you do, you know...
Now, Phil... (or who ever else here)...if you wish to keep talking about "Dr. ZEE" .... okey, keep it up. I'm not going to respond anymore. YES! I do refer to "Dr. ZEE" in the third person ....'cos fU*ng Dr. ZEE is not the fu*ng subject here.... even thou a few "board veterans" acted out like real jackasses and made him a subject.
If you look back in this thread you see how this whole sh*t unfolded here. Hey, Phil, all I did was - I dared to ask you a question...., I guess. Who the fu&ck I am to ask you? Is it your reaction? Well, fine. Just don't answer. Just Ignore it. There'll be no follow up.
arghhhhhhhhh
what ever

Alright, lets use your method of asking questions and see how effective it is...
What is 'okey'? Did you mean 'okay', which is the preferred spelling or is this a new word?
Again, a new word? What do you mean by 'one of those guys that seats in the same bar'? Usually, when I go to a bar, which isn't that often, I 'sit' at the bar. After I've done it a few times, it becomes 'sits'. One of those guys that sits in the same bar. Sits. Did you ever watch Sesame Street? No?
There's that word 'seats' again. The bar has seats, but no one seats on them. They sit on them.
Yes, but usually they direct their opinion to the person asking the question instead of disecting everyone else's answers.
FUing? FUang? FUung? FUong?...you gotta be more specific here! We can't just be expected to understand all these new words. There are similar ones, but if I chose to edit them it would look more like 'F*cking'. Although derogatory adjectives on a bbs would be just plain rude, even if you edited yourself.
As long as you keep ranting and escalating the argument, I'm quite entertained! Are you 'okey' with that?
Since its all about nit picking answers, do you mean 'because'? If you did, the slang contraction would be 'cause. Not sure where/if you went to school.
cos fUing? Is this Armenian?
Ok! Putting an ampersand in the middle of a swear really isn't editing. I can still see the 'fu' and the 'ck', but now the word looks longer and strange. I still see the whole word, though. BTW, that's how you spell 'though'. Its not 'thou' unless you're from the 13th century and saying 'you'.
If you look back and read your own answers, you might see how YOU started pissing people off and how your own actions got this thread where is!
Actually...No! I'd bet you wouldn't see it at all...

Phil-G....,
(yep, you can read it as another 'new word'.... I dedicate it to you personally. I would gladly sign it for you as a gift)
so, Phil-Jee,
oops, yet another one. Now you have two gifts! enjoy it
O.K.,
let me try again,
Phil,
I have been "entertaining" people around the world by speaking/writing in English for very long time. I've seen all sorts of reactions. Nothing really new here for me. When seeing/hearing my limited ability to express myself in english: Some people laugh, Some people get irritated, Most people just "look/listen through it". Only few (usually people with very narrow intellect or people, carrying "insecure personality implant" deeply inside of their brain) have tried to use it to 'win the argument'.
You did good , Phil.
A+ and Two thumbs up!
*****
now you can search through my post for more misspellings. Have fun.

You are a hypocrit! Point blank!!! You did to other people in this thread the EXACT thing I did to you! But since you were the one being attacked, now you play the victim! Like you're a friggin' martyr! You poor baby!!!
You can dish it out, but can't take it!!!
Go pout in your room, asshat!!!

I am "playing victim"? hah hah... - hah ha - fU&^%NG - hah hahPhilGood said:
I don't know how many of this things "
" I need to plug in here...."Me playing victim" is what you were miserably hoping for...
I can laugh and do laugh at my misspellings. Misspellings sucks on the other hand. But I just live with it. English is the language the world speaks. No choice here really. So? If I start speaking my mother's language - you'll be just seating in the corner with your mouth open.... what's the point?
so, Phill, Point Blank - my ass.
You still did pretty good thou ... (arghhhhh, though that is, sorry , professor).... I admit it
. You did pretty good - what ever it was you were doing. Did it prove anything? Or what ever reason you were doing it for? I don't even know what for. I've made something up, like "Maybe to win the argument" ... 
The only question then would be: "What argument?" there's no argument here really.
A person posted an audio clip. Asked for comments. Couple of comments were posted. I had questions in respect to those comments. I've posted those questions. And then a "few good men"
started pouring out a load of shit.Why did they start doing it? The only explanation that comes to my mind is: "Feeling of twelve tiny blisters in the ass" .... or did I say it already?
okey , now what....?
nothing.
okey - that is
I like that word "okey" - looks nifty on you.

I think the problem lies in the fact that the only thing you've done so far is respond to other peoples VALID responses with stupid fucking questions. So, if you are here to discuss the topic of recording drums, then why don't you participate instead of being a dickhead? No one likes a dickhead, but I'm sure you're aware of that!
