Drum Sample: RVD1, SM57, and a pair of 603s
I was hemming and hawing about what kick mic to get to go with the 57 and pair of 603s I had for drum stuff, and finally went with the Red5 RVD1. I couldn't find any recorded examples of the mics I was interested in, so I ended up going with the RVD1 because it was highly recommended by the guys at SoundPure, and they advertise in TapeOp, so I figured I'd go for it.
So far, so good. I just made this recording with them:
It sounds exactly not at all like Bonham, but the recording sounds pretty good to me for being dry and in an untreated room. I'm going to play around with this some more and see what I can bring out of it with effects and post back later, but for now, here's a thread.
I want to make some more recordings so people can hear what this setup sounds like. There are always a ton of variables, but more info always seems better.
The drums are a 20" Premier XPK kick, 14x5.5" Premier Signia snare, and a 14x14" Signia floor tom. 14" K/A hi-hats, 21" K custom dry ride, and a few others that probably aren't in there.
