Hi everyone,
So I've been recording for a while now but its always been solo acoustic or electric guitar, never a whole band or even a drum kit. So a couple of days ago I got a drummer buddy of mine to come in and play and made my first drum recording ever!
Anyway, I think I have a pretty decent pair of ears, but they're no good to me in this situation for two reasons. 1. I am sans monitors right now (sold the old before the new ones arrived). 2. I dont know jack about drum recording so even if I can hear something I dont like, I have little idea of what to do to make it better.
That's where you guys come in. Here's a clip of the recording, its just me playing bass and my buddy playing drums. We both played sloppily so try not to pay attention to that.
The processing was minimal, just a bit of compression for each drum, with the snare having a bit more than the others, high pass filter on the OHs (I know around here most people dont do it this way, so youll have to forgive me for that). Bass is 100% as recorded so its sounds pretty rough.

Please give me any and all comments, good, bad, and ugly.
Thanks people.
