All,
Happy New Year!!
This is my 1st attempt at a live drum recording.
I have always used Drumagog and electronic samples in the past.
This is a cheap TAMA kit setup with....
Kick =3D open front
Snare =3D Steel (I dont know maybe 5 or 6 inch deep N'Dugu signature =
series)
Zildgen =3D Dark crash, Dark Ride, Dark HiHat
Tom =3D 11 or 12 inch with bottom head
Floor Tom =3D without bottom head
1 - AKG414 in Cardiod w/20db pad laying on blanket inside the Kick.
1 - SM57 in the usual spot on the top of the snare.
2 - Matched pair Rode NT5s in a XY stereo configuration...3 feet above =
the cymbals centered between the Ride and the Crash...directly above the =
Tom.
I applied EQ and compression to the Kick and Snare tracks. The =
compression is a typical
3.99:1 ratio with 20ms attack and 50ms release. Using Waves C1 =
compressor.
Also I applied a PARIS Gate on both tracks.
I scooped out the lows and mids of the OHs just allowing the meat of the =
snare back in.
I gave a couple db to the highs and compressed it using the same =
settings as on the other tracks, but with a 26ms attack.
I then mixed all the tracks together to taste.
The room was very live...hardwood floors and vaulted ceiling.
No attempt at Isolation.
I am pleased with the seemingly even cymbals/hat.
The Kick doesnt quite have the snap I would like, but I was using a felt =
beater. Also my technique SUCKs...Can you hear the beater roll on the =
head?
I leave the beater up after I kick which greatly reduces punch of the =
kick.
The snare I am not pleased with. I really dont like the snare itself. =
Dont like its sound. This snare actually sounds better tuned like a =
piccalo.
Critques are very Welcome!!
Thanks Again!
Brandon

First off get that 414 off the blanket and floating in the air somewhere =
near the kik drum....position to taste
as for the snare, tighten the snares and add a bit of dampening to kill =
the ring a bit...you could also retune to the desired sound and adjust =
the dampening to taste
Try putting the OH's at your position as the drummer...approximately =
shoulder width and at least a foot above your head (to start with) then =
try some experimenting with aiming...you may even want to lower the mics =
above the respective toms ie: split the racs and aiming slightly at the =
snare and then the other mic over the Floor and then adjust their height =
to get the cymbals.
Just a few variations on a theme here

First off get that 414 off the blanket and floating in the air =
somewhere near the kik drum....position to taste
OK
as for the snare, tighten the snares and add a bit of dampening to =
kill the ring a bit...you could also retune to the desired sound and =
adjust the dampening to taste
Snares are tight.. I will try retuning it though.
Try putting the OH's at your position as the drummer...approximately =
shoulder width and at least a foot above your head (to start with) then =
try some experimenting with aiming...you may even want to lower the mics =
above the respective toms ie: split the racs and aiming slightly at the =
snare and then the other mic over the Floor and then adjust their height =
to get the cymbals.
I was going to try just that next.
Just a few variations on a theme here

All,
Happy New Year!!
This is my 1st attempt at a live drum recording.
I have always used Drumagog and electronic samples in the past.
This is a cheap TAMA kit setup with....
Kick =3D open front
Snare =3D Steel (I dont know maybe 5 or 6 inch deep N'Dugu signature =
series)
Zildgen =3D Dark crash, Dark Ride, Dark HiHat
Tom =3D 11 or 12 inch with bottom head
Floor Tom =3D without bottom head
1 - AKG414 in Cardiod w/20db pad laying on blanket inside the Kick.
1 - SM57 in the usual spot on the top of the snare.
2 - Matched pair Rode NT5s in a XY stereo configuration...3 feet =
above the cymbals centered between the Ride and the Crash...directly =
above the Tom.
I applied EQ and compression to the Kick and Snare tracks. The =
compression is a typical
3.99:1 ratio with 20ms attack and 50ms release. Using Waves C1 =
compressor.
Also I applied a PARIS Gate on both tracks.
I scooped out the lows and mids of the OHs just allowing the meat of =
the snare back in.
I gave a couple db to the highs and compressed it using the same =
settings as on the other tracks, but with a 26ms attack.
I then mixed all the tracks together to taste.
The room was very live...hardwood floors and vaulted ceiling.
No attempt at Isolation.
I am pleased with the seemingly even cymbals/hat.
The Kick doesnt quite have the snap I would like, but I was using a =
felt beater. Also my technique SUCKs...Can you hear the beater roll on =
the head?
I leave the beater up after I kick which greatly reduces punch of =
the kick.
The snare I am not pleased with. I really dont like the snare =
itself. Dont like its sound. This snare actually sounds better tuned =
like a piccalo.
Critques are very Welcome!!
Thanks Again!
Brandon

All,
Happy New Year!!
This is my 1st attempt at a live drum recording.
I have always used Drumagog and electronic samples in the past.
This is a cheap TAMA kit setup with....
Kick =3D open front
Snare =3D Steel (I dont know maybe 5 or 6 inch deep N'Dugu =
signature series)
Zildgen =3D Dark crash, Dark Ride, Dark HiHat
Tom =3D 11 or 12 inch with bottom head
Floor Tom =3D without bottom head
1 - AKG414 in Cardiod w/20db pad laying on blanket inside the =
Kick.
1 - SM57 in the usual spot on the top of the snare.
2 - Matched pair Rode NT5s in a XY stereo configuration...3 feet =
above the cymbals centered between the Ride and the Crash...directly =
above the Tom.
I applied EQ and compression to the Kick and Snare tracks. The =
compression is a typical
3.99:1 ratio with 20ms attack and 50ms release. Using Waves C1 =
compressor.
Also I applied a PARIS Gate on both tracks.
I scooped out the lows and mids of the OHs just allowing the meat =
of the snare back in.
I gave a couple db to the highs and compressed it using the same =
settings as on the other tracks, but with a 26ms attack.
I then mixed all the tracks together to taste.
The room was very live...hardwood floors and vaulted ceiling.
No attempt at Isolation.
I am pleased with the seemingly even cymbals/hat.
The Kick doesnt quite have the snap I would like, but I was using =
a felt beater. Also my technique SUCKs...Can you hear the beater roll on =
the head?
I leave the beater up after I kick which greatly reduces punch of =
the kick.
The snare I am not pleased with. I really dont like the snare =
itself. Dont like its sound. This snare actually sounds better tuned =
like a piccalo.
Critques are very Welcome!!
Thanks Again!
Brandon

All,
Happy New Year!!
This is my 1st attempt at a live drum recording.
I have always used Drumagog and electronic samples in the past.
This is a cheap TAMA kit setup with....
Kick =3D open front
Snare =3D Steel (I dont know maybe 5 or 6 inch deep N'Dugu =
signature series)
Zildgen =3D Dark crash, Dark Ride, Dark HiHat
Tom =3D 11 or 12 inch with bottom head
Floor Tom =3D without bottom head
1 - AKG414 in Cardiod w/20db pad laying on blanket inside the =
Kick.
1 - SM57 in the usual spot on the top of the snare.
2 - Matched pair Rode NT5s in a XY stereo configuration...3 feet =
above the cymbals centered between the Ride and the Crash...directly =
above the Tom.
I applied EQ and compression to the Kick and Snare tracks. The =
compression is a typical
3.99:1 ratio with 20ms attack and 50ms release. Using Waves C1 =
compressor.
Also I applied a PARIS Gate on both tracks.
I scooped out the lows and mids of the OHs just allowing the =
meat of the snare back in.
I gave a couple db to the highs and compressed it using the same =
settings as on the other tracks, but with a 26ms attack.
I then mixed all the tracks together to taste.
The room was very live...hardwood floors and vaulted ceiling.
No attempt at Isolation.
I am pleased with the seemingly even cymbals/hat.
The Kick doesnt quite have the snap I would like, but I was =
using a felt beater. Also my technique SUCKs...Can you hear the beater =
roll on the head?
I leave the beater up after I kick which greatly reduces punch =
of the kick.
The snare I am not pleased with. I really dont like the snare =

All,
Happy New Year!!
This is my 1st attempt at a live drum recording.
I have always used Drumagog and electronic samples in the past.
This is a cheap TAMA kit setup with....
Kick =3D open front
Snare =3D Steel (I dont know maybe 5 or 6 inch deep N'Dugu signature =
series)
Zildgen =3D Dark crash, Dark Ride, Dark HiHat
Tom =3D 11 or 12 inch with bottom head
Floor Tom =3D without bottom head
1 - AKG414 in Cardiod w/20db pad laying on blanket inside the Kick.
1 - SM57 in the usual spot on the top of the snare.
2 - Matched pair Rode NT5s in a XY stereo configuration...3 feet above =
the cymbals centered between the Ride and the Crash...directly above the =
Tom.
I applied EQ and compression to the Kick and Snare tracks. The =
compression is a typical
3.99:1 ratio with 20ms attack and 50ms release. Using Waves C1 =
compressor.
Also I applied a PARIS Gate on both tracks.
I scooped out the lows and mids of the OHs just allowing the meat of =
the snare back in.
I gave a couple db to the highs and compressed it using the same =
settings as on the other tracks, but with a 26ms attack.
I then mixed all the tracks together to taste.
The room was very live...hardwood floors and vaulted ceiling.
No attempt at Isolation.
I am pleased with the seemingly even cymbals/hat.
The Kick doesnt quite have the snap I would like, but I was using a =
felt beater. Also my technique SUCKs...Can you hear the beater roll on =
the head?
I leave the beater up after I kick which greatly reduces punch of the =
kick.
The snare I am not pleased with. I really dont like the snare itself. =
Dont like its sound. This snare actually sounds better tuned like a =
piccalo.
Critques are very Welcome!!
Thanks Again!
Brandon

I would have to say no as the kit as you've recorded it must be dealt =
with as a single instrument and as such any EQ-ing will be totally =
dependent on the drums themselves. As for Compression...that to would =
be dependent on the kit and the mix...I usually put a bit on the snare =
and kik just to tame the transients but as for a 2 buss comp on the =
kit...hmmm, sometimes t works, sometimes it doesn't
Sorry I couldn't be specific

Another very important point which you alluded to are the drums =
themselves and without a doubt the player. =20
Having a good sounding kit will make the process much more enjoyable =
as will a competant groovin' drummer manning the stix. Believe me the =
difference can be like night and day.
that being said I would love to hear more as you experiment with =
placement...could be the beginnings of a very informative thread
:-)

First off get that 414 off the blanket and floating in the air =
somewhere near the kik drum....position to taste
OK
as for the snare, tighten the snares and add a bit of dampening =
to kill the ring a bit...you could also retune to the desired sound and =
adjust the dampening to taste
Snares are tight.. I will try retuning it though.
Try putting the OH's at your position as the =
drummer...approximately shoulder width and at least a foot above your =
head (to start with) then try some experimenting with aiming...you may =
even want to lower the mics above the respective toms ie: split the racs =
and aiming slightly at the snare and then the other mic over the Floor =
and then adjust their height to get the cymbals.
I was going to try just that next.
Just a few variations on a theme here

All,
Happy New Year!!
This is my 1st attempt at a live drum recording.
I have always used Drumagog and electronic samples in the =
past.
This is a cheap TAMA kit setup with....
Kick =3D open front
Snare =3D Steel (I dont know maybe 5 or 6 inch deep N'Dugu =
signature series)
Zildgen =3D Dark crash, Dark Ride, Dark HiHat
Tom =3D 11 or 12 inch with bottom head
Floor Tom =3D without bottom head
1 - AKG414 in Cardiod w/20db pad laying on blanket inside the =
Kick.
1 - SM57 in the usual spot on the top of the snare.
2 - Matched pair Rode NT5s in a XY stereo configuration...3 =
feet above the cymbals centered between the Ride and the =
Crash...directly above the Tom.
I applied EQ and compression to the Kick and Snare tracks. The =
compression is a typical
3.99:1 ratio with 20ms attack and 50ms release. Using Waves C1 =
compressor.
Also I applied a PARIS Gate on both tracks.
I scooped out the lows and mids of the OHs just allowing the =
meat of the snare back in.
I gave a couple db to the highs and compressed it using the =
same settings as on the other tracks, but with a 26ms attack.
I then mixed all the tracks together to taste.
The room was very live...hardwood floors and vaulted ceiling.
No attempt at Isolation.
I am pleased with the seemingly even cymbals/hat.
The Kick doesnt quite have the snap I would like, but I was =
using a felt beater. Also my technique SUCKs...Can you hear the beater =
roll on the head?
I leave the beater up after I kick which greatly reduces punch =
of the kick.
The snare I am not pleased with. I really dont like the snare =
itself. Dont like its sound. This snare actually sounds better tuned =
like a piccalo.
Critques are very Welcome!!
Thanks Again!
Brandon

Brandon, posted the other two files yu sent & shot you an
e-mail with the links... personally, I like this one the best:
http://saqqararecords.com/MiscAudio/BGoodwin-b52-3in2beater& amp;plasticbeater.mp3
The snare seems to have more body to it & the whole kit a bit
more life in general than this one:
http://www.saqqararecords.com/MiscAudio/BGoodwin-b52-3in& ;hardbeat&retunesnare.mp3
(which I know you said is the one you liked best, but I guess
it's a personal taste thing)
But I mostly wanted you to know that none of these clips are a
fair comparison, since you're not playing the exact same riffs
in the exact same tempo & with the exact same striking force on
each & every hit in each of the three clips.
<evil grin>
Seriously, though, IMNSFHO, none of the last three suck - in
fact, either of them could be eminently useable, depending on
the context & the genre of the music... and when I say "useable"
I don't necessarily mean "dialed-in & ready to RAWK", I mean:
"a very good starting point from which to begin to tweak".
Gotta remember, it's often easier to make drums sound good by
themselves than it is to make them work in the context of
whatever you're mixing (otherwise, would guys with shitoads of
Grammys on their walls be endorsing Drumagog, and would there
even BE a software app called "Sound Replacer"?).
One question, though - you said you had your snare mic "in the
usual position"? I don't know what that means... IME, there IS
no "usual position" every snare sound has it's own needs &
snare is one of the instruments (Don looks at the kit as a
single instrument, I look at it as a bunch of individual
instruments that have to work togeher in a very specific
manner - like a string section, for example) wherein a VERY
SLIGHT move of the mic can make an ENORMOUS difference in the
sound you get... a half-inch can make the dfference
beween "thwump" and "BANG!"
Anyway, looks like you got some good advice from Aaron &
others, I think the moon gel helped that particular kit, and
switching kick mics made a big diff. Those sound good - I've
heard a lot worse.... you're ready to go, dude; you've got a
good starting point... bring someone in there & start tracking!

Neil,
Thanks for the input and kind words.
Yeah... we are probably thinking of different genres.
I am thinking of more along the lines of soft rock or something.
The one you choose I would think would be a good starting
point for something along the lines of Nirvana.
I hear what you mean about the live feeling or open-ness.
The major difference between the two is the use of the C1 comp on the OHs
instead of the PARIS comp. Perhaps I squashed them a bit too much
even though they are the same settings. I forget, but the
PARIS comps work a bit differently don't they?

Thanks,
Brandon

First one, the snare is more open and louder. I'm not sure I can really
compare the two files because they're level-wise too differing. I think with
the right level adjustments the 2nd one will be the better/happier snare to
mix. The hard kick beater made a nice difference.. remember, you can always
pull back the click to be less present in the mix but if it sounds like
you're smacking the drum with a dead cat body, you can't recover a click
that wasn't there to start.
This graphic cat moment brought to you by Bolo dog treats.
Seriously though, you are heading the right direction.
You might want to experiment with the AKG in cardiod pointed on the side/at
the body of the snare also, some guys dig what that does.
