what was that all about again & what size of reel are we looking at here also where is taped to the snare

clarify for me please senor florida

I'm curious about this
 
I couldn't tell you as of yet. I've actually tried contacting the girl, but when I did, she was like "that was so long ago, I can't remember what I said".


Stoners....

So I'm really going to have to sit down with this and experiement with it myself.

(Of course, dosn't mean others can't go ahead and try) :D
 
I had mentioned a while back about some type of technique involving an empty tape reel and rigging it to either a kick drum or a snare drum to create a distinct sound.

It was a technique a friend of mine told me about from her boyfriend, who happens to play drums in the band "Nonpoint".

As to how to do that, I have yet to work it out.

actually yeah, they are signed to Bieler Bros. The same label that supports skindrid and a few other hardcore type acts. They get occasional radio play these days, plus I think they are starting to promote a new album.


I had the option to meet this guy at one point, but I was occupied with studio work, so it never happened.

Maybe the one situation where work actually got in the way of a potentially cool drums trick. :rolleyes:
 
It's a shot in the dark, but maybe something like this???

We did all sorts of stuff. Shelly Yakus worked at A&R also; he and I started on the same day. And I remember walking into his session one day and he'd rigged this thing on the house bass drum where he took the head off but left the screws on. Then he took bungie-style cords and a tape reel hub, attached the bungies to the hub and hung it right in the middle of the drum.

Suspended it.

Right. Then he put eyebolts in to secure an SM57 to the middle of the hub. It was the best-looking thing. You know, a lot of times we do things because they look great.

Really?

In this case, the idea was, how loud can you be? So, Shelly did this thing, and it sounded pretty good. I tried it, but I could never get it to sound good.
