here is my setup.

[maskedman72]

i am going to re-model my setup soon and here is what it looks like now.
the room is 11x12 1/2.

 

[Blue Bear Sound]

WOW! The Colors!!!!!!!

 

[Velvet Elvis]

maskedman,

nice setup... You must have run out of money buying all the gear by the looks of your "throne" there in front of the console

Velvet Elvis

 

[maskedman72]

yes the throne will be upgraded in the re modeling process.
blue bear-the ceiling is black and all trim is gold.
i am going for that east indian hindu/temple feel(as you can see by the wall hangings).
to the right of the mixer is a stack(2 marshall 4x12 cabs,rocktron voodoo valve pre-amp and a marshall 9600 poweramp)
and behind the "throne" is my drumkit (pearl masters series)
it all works out really well for me. i do good in that space with my gear. not to mention all the varoius percussion i have.
when i want big drum sounds i will record the drums where i work(www.tempremillstudios.com) than bring them back to my studio for the rest.

 

[maskedman72]

heres the various percussion

 

[RICK FITZPATRICK]

Your not a percussionist by chance are you? Hahahahha, that fantastic. What cool percussion instruments. You are very lucky to have all of those. Makes for really interesting recordings I bet. Wish I had someone around to play those. Good luck with the remodel. Nice setup too!

[Track Rat]

Is that the second engineer in your lap?
Looks cool my friend.

 

[maskedman72]

thanks mr. rat! yea thats pee wee herman. yes im heavily into west afracian drumming. i travel to all of the drumming festivals in different parts of the country and play. as if having a studio isnt expensive enough!!

I'd invest in a more comfortable chair!

 

[maskedman72]

my ass hates that chair!

 

[Velvet Elvis]

Yeah I notice you doctored the chair up with a cushy pillow in a feable attempt to make it more comfortable...

That's like the Behringer of the chair world

Velvet Elvis

 

[maskedman72]

LOL!!!! it seems as if everyone loves my chair!!
pretty soon that chair wont be seeing anyone elses ass ever again!

 

[Chrisjob]

Maybe you should get a new desk without any legs and you can sit all crazy-like on the floor.


How do your drums sound in such a small room?

What kind of mics do you use for you handdrums?

 

[maskedman72]

you would never guess that the drums i record were done in such a small room. they sound great. for hand drums i use either an at 4033 ,sm 57 and mc012. but i will be upgrading my mics soon.

 

[fespinal4444]

nice....

I was just passing through when I saw...wow, that chair says it all man...comfort.
Very nice

 

[maskedman72]

that chair forces me to mix standing up.

 

[robjh22]

Thank you for the photo of you and your instruments. Fabulous! And my wife may possibly think me less crazy now. Or at least that I'm not the only one.

 

[mixmkr]

so....you smoke outta that orange thing in your percussion picture.....right? which end do you light?

 

[jerberson12]

UMMMM your chair sucks...

 

[maskedman72]

it was either a new chair or a mp2nv. i choose the mp2nv.(really i am getting a new chair!)
ok,due to the high volume of comments on my chair i have decided to put it on ebay....buy it now only $100.
that big orange thing is a rain stick. that is only about 1/4 of the percussion shit that i really want. i would love to get a native plains flute made by scott loomis but they run about $700.
i am a djembe addict.
