I've been going through some mixes re4placing the kicks with various BFD
samples. The original kick tracks were OK, but not really stellar. They were
recorded here with a Beta 52 inside the shell and a 57 on the beater. They
were also compressed and EQ'ed while tracking. Very tight and focused, but
nothing like the BFD samples as far a s fidelity goes. Then I opened up a
project where I used the Yamaha subkick in fornt of the kick and a beta 52
inside the shell. WOAH!!!!(says I). This track sounds easily as good as the
BFD samples. What a huge difference this makes. Another thing of note
concerning the Subkick, I have been using it a bit while tracking electric
bass as a close mic on the cone. For a while I was liking it, until I tried
to get it to work in a mix. Somewho it just doesn't flatter an amp as I had
hoped. An ATM 25 up close with an LDC (I'm liking the RODE NTV these days)
off the amp about 8 ft away and 5' off the floor has yielded much better
results when the room mic track is phase aligned with the close mic'ed
track.

So, are saying BFD or Drummagog??

I'm lazy these days..I'll stay with Drummagog( I have BFD as well)..I just
got Battery2, with 4 gigs of new acoutic Multi Mic drums..KillER!!!
It's a good time for replacing or even using a midi kit for real performances
using any of the sampled drum librarys.
