No muffling on any of the drums...other than the built in ring on the Evans GMAD on the kick. EQ3 res on it. Power Center reverse dot and hazy 300 on the snare....tuned really tight. The snare and the kick sound incredible.

We were doing a 4 song EP.

Here's a quick preview I cut yesterday...you can hear some of the raw tracks in there. Should be mixed in the next week or two:

I don't record, but I love to play heavier stuff. I use coated emperors on top, ebony ambassadors on bottom, and a coated ambassador x? on my snare. I know I haven't recorded, and that's what you are asking for, but I love the sound of what I have. I always got compliments.

I think anything you're using where you get a sound you enjoy will translate to a recording. Quality drum sounds are quality drum sounds.
