I've seen a couple of people doing threads about converting their acoustic kits in electronic kits and it's something that seems quite interesting to me but I don't 100% fully understand it. I...
My friend recently made me a cajon for my birthday and though it doesn't look like a professionally built cajon the sound is great and I've used it to record a couple of times and when my band...
Different studios do it different ways, often you will play along with your bass player or guitarist or whoever you want, I've been in studios where there has not been enough inputs to play along...
My friend has an Alesis DM10, sounds like exactly what you've described to me :)
I dont use my ipad to record my drums very often at all but I find it useful when recording my drums because I can use apps like 'entrackment' and there are others out there to use it as a control...
I don't use superior drummer myself but I agree that the built in kits on every ekit I've ever played on do not match up to what software you can get out there. I've use Native Instruments abbey road...
First of all I'd like to apologise for my long absence from drum chat, I have just been way to busy with my exams and travelling and all sorts of crazy things but now I'm back.
Anyway, my friend has...
I've had a yamaha dtxplorer in my room for a few years now, as a quiet practice kit. It's brilliant and sounds perfect for what you want, its small, and as you say has features miles beyond it's...
In particular ride cymbal, I've heard a lot of people say that the zildijan k series are pretty good, I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks :)
It's a ridiculous situation, thankfully the last couple of nights have been quieter, I've never seen anything like it. It's mindless lawlessness, never did I think I would see the day where people...
A friend of mine was in a band that for their first gig were called 'the life and times of an atomic donkey' but they soon changed the name when things became more serious for them.
I find being able to sight read is useful on any instrument. I dedicated a lot of time when I started learning the drums to being able to sight read and it payed off a few years ago when I got full...
You have a very similar problem to me, read the thread under this one called 'e kit or cheap drum mics?' and that will help, there's a lot of talk in that thread about good mic positioning and mics...
Ok, I'll try it when I get chance. Whilst we're talking about positioning, if I'm in a rectangular room am I better having the drums facing the length of the room or the width if you know what I...
I had to do the same thing with one of my splash cymbals when I got a second one. At first I had both my splash cymbals mounted above my kick and rack toms. But there they were too easy to reach and...
Well I finally got round to trying some mic positions out and the best sounding one i found was with one overhead and one on my bass drum, otherwise my bass drum sounded very distant. Obviously the...
That's great thanks, I'll give it a try over the next few days aswell as a couple of other positions and see what sounds best. I don't think I'll buy a full set of drum mics but consider using my two...
That looks good, I'll give it a try :) won't the bass drum sound quiet or distant like that though? Also if I recorded it as a single stereo track how would you advise EQing it to get the best sound?...
Thanks trickg,
I'm seriously considering Buying some drum mics. At the moment though I own two condenser mics, just cheap ones that cost about £40 each that I use for recording vocals and acoustic...
Ok, I'm only 17 and very short on cash. I've seen some drum mic sets on the Internet for between £100 - £150 which is as much as I can afford to spend. I currently have a yamaha dtxplorer e kit and...
I recently removed one of my toms so I now have a 4 piece and I love it, it gives me more flexibility with the positioning of my ride cymbal and cowbell. Especially as I'm in pretty cramped...
stress they marched forth towards
block in the
Well at the moment all my toms sound dead. I think the heads are a big issue as at the moment I've got the heads that came with the kit 18 months ago when I bought it, but I never changed the heads...
