My kit (mic'd) + a recording sample

[JonathanRay]

I recently acquired some new pieces:

Roc-N-Soc Nitro (amazing)
A Custom Cymbals
Bongos
Evans EMAD batter kick head
KSM44 (2)
SM57 (3)
Auralex Hoverdeck

Here's a recording I made today.

Below are some pictures.

sounds very classy, but i think you left a few mics off your list there..
the bongos are a classy touch

 

[JonathanRay]

Yeah, those were just the new mics. Theres a D112 on kick and a Shure PE47L on snare.

 

[vschiano2008]

nice moongels!! they're great..

 

[DuoToneBand]

my man, i guess my tuning lessons helped! Great drum sounds from only EHH drums! drop me an IM

 

[jaykeMURD]

Thats a nice setup there johnathanray. Sounds pretty good too. What were you using for the bass drum reso head?

 

[Schloo]

The Roc-N-Soc sounds awesome!!!!

 

[zildjian11]

The drums sound great. Question about the overheads...What pattern are you using on the KSM44's (omni, uni, etc.)?

 

[spitfire909x]

Your kit sounds amazing, I'm using very similar drum mics (Except the overheads, yours are way better I'm using some MXL604's, these ok?) and I can't get mine to sound anywhere near that good. Is that a straight up fresh track or is it EQed and mixed? Nice job.

um sorry i dont kno if its cos ive played in a punk/hardcore/metal band my whole life but i have played many a kit but i dont like the notes of the toms man they just seem really high i dunno maybe its me i love the kick and snare sound tho its tight hahaha

 

[FunkDaddy]

Those toms are tuned waaaaaaay too high for me personally. But otherwise nice looking and nice sounding kit I too dig the bongos

 

[tom5]

hey, are those Coated g2's or g1's...love the warm sound, alittle too high pitched for me though.

 

[mjm620]

Sounds cool. Personally, I would tune down a bit, especially if you are using bongos, even roto's. Those can be used to brighten up a dark, deep sounding set, not match it. Sounds good..have you been recording for a while?
