Critique my drum recording quality.

Yeah. It sounds a hell of a lot better.

Now it seems like there's a tuning problem with the kick. It has the frequencies balanced, but there's something weird going on, like one or both of the heads are too tight. They should both be just slightly tighter than flappy. Where have you got the mic pointed?

What do you have in it? I find that the less muffling I have, the more punch I get. I use a couple rolled up shop towels taped to the shell just touching the heads. Then I put down another towel in the middle of the shell and set up a full one gallon paint can on top of it. That adds punch. I have my kick mic pointed into a 4" vent in the front head (off centered) sticking in about 2" pointed straight down the shell. I get a hella kick sound.

good work i like that! "a full one gallon paint can on top of it." I can almost visualise how good that would sound.

Probably really deadens the resonance which is what you are having a problem with there Visa.
