Awesome! I don't know the original and I don't want to listen to it.

This has all the energy of a GregTune (tm). But your mixes get better and better, and I didn't think there was much room for that. I just realized I need a lot more click on my bass drum. Do you had a lot of highs on the kik at mix time. If not, tell me what kind of skin you use.

Great stuff. Nice to be back listening to a GregTune (tm) again. :D
Thanks a lot Rami. I think your kick is usually fine, tight and punchy. But there's nothing wrong with playing around with it.

Here's my kick EQ:

I use an Evans EMAD batter head with the biggest damping ring installed for this song. I also had a pillow in the kick just barely touching the batter head, and not touching the reso at all. Pretty dry sound. The reso head is an Evans EQ3. And I use rubber Iron Cobra beaters with a pretty thick falam patch. That's probably where the attack comes from. Sometimes it's too clicky. :o

not bad gerg. sounds pretty dope. Im going ot be a totaly homo and say your vocals got some gravel. you got the giv'r behind them. I love it. nice touch.

I heard this original oddly enough my woman has it too. thats gay.

but i like what youve done with them.

personally id trade the kazoo for bagpipes but the kazoo is a signiture thing for you.

9 out of 10


-1 for way too much kick :eek:

kekekekeke i kid, you ugly fucker i kid. just jay kayin.

Lol. Thanks dude. The kazoos were decided at the last minute in-lieu of a traditional rip-roaring guitar solo. The original studio version has piano and backup ooohs and ahhhs during the kazoo parts. I didn't want a solo, piano, or backups, so the kazoo was the most logical choice. :D
 
Thanx a million, man!

Funny, my kik EQ is almost an exact duplicate of yours. The only difference is that my HI EQ is a Shelf, so I can't zero in on 5k (or whatever frequency I need). But going back and listening to some of my older recordings, I noticed I used to have a punchier kik sound doing the same things I'm doing now and with the same drum. My skin probably slowly de-tuned too gradually for me to notice.

I'm going to try the Evans head next time around too.

Thanx buddy. Your drums on this tune are top-notch. Playing and sound.

Thank you Rami.

You know, it's funny how things work, one of the best kick tracks I ever had - in my opinion - happened with the 2 lugs nearest the pedal completely detached from the shell. They just wiggled loose. :o
Ah Greg! You never cease to amaze me!:D

Awesome track!;)
Thanks Phil! Good to see you around in here again. You my friend are a kick ass drummer. Westfest people still talk about your skillz. :)
 
Nice cover Greg. It just goes to show that you can polish a turd. Not real sure what that means in this case, but it sounded cool.

Dude! Seriously, your production skills are really getting polished. I may have some questions for you as your recordings really quite admirable.
 
Are you playing Paiste these days? Cymbals sound great!
