    Default MDK Drum Cam

    Inspired by ITPP thread I too will post crappy video's of a crappy drummer for your amusement except mine are actually pretty crappy : )

    Anyway this is my 1st attempt with my zoom Q4 and as you can tell the camera moved away from me just after I hit record but you get the idea. I need to play with the recording settings and location a little bit and we were also having a weird sound coming from someone's amp or maybe the BD mic every time I hit the snare and the snare was not even mic'd? 1st time thats happened to us and we never figured it out. This is 3 songs (shine, 2 tickets, and Jailbreak) but I will try to chop them up into 1 song video's going forward.

    So here it is mistakes and all Live, we had a great crowd and they actually asked us to play another hour afterwards Ughhhh so we played for 5 hrs that night! They gave us an extra $100 but was a rough Sunday morning before the Superbowl. Any tips or pointers you can give are always appreciated.

    Thanks Bish, This was my 1st gig with my new AAX Concept crashes as well, I think they sound sweet and I do not need to hit em near as hard as I am used to and will adjust that going forward.

    Thanks, thats my regular 20" K.. I have a 21" hybrid custom but the reg. K seems to do everything just a little better. I may try a gig with the Hybrid just to hear the difference live.

    You are right, you are a crappy drummer. In fact you and Marc (ITPP) should get together and have a debate on who is the crappy-est drummer, you or him.

    Seriously, both of you guys are good, I have liked everything that both of you have done (Although I could have done without Come Together. I think the beatles were sitting on a mountaintop in a circle with that Mahayogi guy and that's where they got the name)

    I liked the cymbal sound also, and the fills were right on.

    Nothing like spending some time with a glass of scotch listening to crappy drummers. The next time I hear (read) either 1 of you saying "crappy drummers", I will drive to your home and both of you.

    Thanks, dont get me started on the music stands. Lead singer has 2 of them, the big gawdy one you see and one that is just out of the frame in between my hi hat and cymbal stands that he puts his drink (which he usually spills on my kick mic) and tambourine/shakers on. The 2 guitar players have them as well. Maybe the next video I will take from the audiences perspective.

    Cowbell intro was the right choice. :D. Also I like your snare sound.

    LOL, have a few people that always yell out "more cowbell" and buy me a beer when I play it so I usually put it in a few places it does not belong depending on my thirst : ) BTW the Snare is a 14 x 6.5 DW collectors 10 - 6 snare.. Love it but hope to record this weekends gig with my new Tama SLG Maple 13 x 7, I am curious how it would sound compared to these videos in the same room.

    Great time playing at a Campground in NH last night. I learned my lesson last time and decided to bring my mismatched pearl export beater kit with my 13 x 7 Pork pie steel snare. Not the best sounding kit but held up pretty well, 12" tom kept coming out of tune after 3 or 4 songs. Last time we played here I had beach sand everywhere and drinks spilled all over my Saturns. Great place to play and a ton of fun but not bringing the good kits back there again : ) This was the end of the 2nd encore (we had 3) and we played over 2-1/2 hrs straight with no breaks and it was humid as hades. I was wiped.
