your kit sounds badass, but, if i have to say anything, why are your rack toms spread so far apart, it looks like it'd be kind of tough to do some transitions and fills, just sayin'
Sounds great. I'd say the only thing I would do differently is to add a bit more bottom end on the bass drum. Not too much, but a little, probably between 50-65 hz. That'll bring a bit more presence to it. I think the snare sound here is probably my favorite, but all of them sound good overall.
Hey man, just wondering how your snare is tuned? Are both heads pretty tight, or is one tighter than the other like?? Its got a nice like 'crack' to it. Cheers dude.
@DrumDougDrum Nope, I was just playing the first thing that came to my head. However a couple other people thought I was playing a DMB song, probably because of the hi-hat stuff.
hey, your drumming is awesome! I want to start learning the drums, but wanted to ask what brand of drums are these in the video? thanks man, i subscribed!
@Prologue2113 These are pearl drums. They don't make this particular series anymore but you can find a good set for whatever price range your looking for.
my name's neal and i just started to do drum (covers) videos, if any of you can please just check out my first drum cover it would be really appreciated, i'm just trying to get views and subscriptions. anyone, please?
i'm a total noob here and I've searched in amazon for the Tascam DP-02CF and it says it has only 2 xlr input, thats 2 mics right? and you have like 8, how?
When people hear your drums all mic'ed up with all your eq and compressors,reverb,It's not your drum's sound anymore.They are the same thing as superior drummer!So you might as well use e drums or v drums.It will sound better than any mix you can do.They are recorded with the best shit in the world.And in the best rooms in the world.So just use triggers,and get the sound you want everytime,In just minutes.Those mesh heads are = to any drum head response.
@semiLivedj Well keep in mind this was my first time ever using the mics and recording. Superior drummer is a great program, but it doesn't sound the same as my set the way I want it. It sounds too perfect for my taste. Mesh head sets are REALLY nice too, but they have a different feel than acoustic drums, way more bounce to the heads even if you lessen the tension (not to mention the price tag)
@DrumGuitarist1379 Yes you will get a different sound from your own drums.I dont know if you ever worked with SD.But you can use any drum you want with any effect you want.Its endless what you can do.I can make them sound like your drums.But you cant make them sound human without playing it on the drums.As for mesh heads,I dont know what you played on but I have played drums for 35 yrs and mesh heads are pretty damn good.I have come to like them better.But hey! Nothing wrong with mic'ing
@semiLivedj No wrong, they sound great properly compressed and eq'd. This was the proper thing to do. In a mix that would sound proper and awesome. When those drums go to mastering, then wow, they would sound even better. That is just the way it is done. Zappa used they same technique on ALL his recordings.
@analyzingfunny Just skip all the micing,eq,compressor.And get a proper set of rolands with superior drummer.This is how everyone does it now.Not how Frank did it 15 yrs ago.
@semiLivedj And the digital vs. analog war raged on for centuries. People have their opinions on what sounds right and what feels right, and to me an electric set doesn't feel as nice as real drums to me. But you on the other hand apparently love them, which is fine with me :)
@DrumGuitarist1379 Look,Once you have mic'ed up your tubs,have them tweeked with all that,it is no different than a sample.Except the sample uses more better stuff to record.I liked to make my tubs sound good too,But at the end of the day,It is still a recorded sound.But I cant afford a thousand dollar reverb,ect.But you can have one with SD.But I also agree that one is not better,Just different.I was raised analog.But digital is cleaner.I will watch your new vid.And Im sure it will be awesome.
@semiLivedj anyways I'm going to be uploading a new drum video very soon so check that out when I get it uploaded and tell me what you think, because they sound nothing close to "wimpy" or "soft" in the new recording
Not just you man,But can drums get any more wimpier! Like the last 20 yrs.Drums just keep getting a smoother and softer sound.I would rather hear drums with one mic in the room.People using mic's on every drum with a noise gate,limiter,compressor.Took years for me to get used to that sound.Micing all the drums is good for a crowd of 5000 or more.I played with 2 mics for years in bars.But to each his own.Might as well get e drums and S.D.Best mic'ed drums you can get.Why not?
Dude, your kit sounds like ... sex. If i got mics, could i come to you and ask you questions about it, and how to process it through my computer and such?
i dont have much money. can i record with just ONE mic (usb) and still get better quality than the crappy camera mics? i got 150 bucks. any recommendations?
@zacheryds If your gonna just use one mic, I would recommend one condenser mic directly above the set. Best thing to do when starting with drum mics is one mic on the kick, one on the snare and two overheads but if you can get one mic for the kick and just put one more mic directly over the set it should sound fine
@zacheryds See if you can get a AKG c1000 with your budget. It is a great mic for drums and it takes a 9v battery thereby providing its own phantom power. So you can plug it into anything. I understand you may only be able to afford one. Otherwise, if at all possible get a stereo pair at the same time. The c1000 is great to start with but even if you were to ever upgrade your recording setup to the best there is, then those c1000's would still sit nicely in the setup rather than ditching them.
@zacheryds with 150$ you cant get a whole lot however I run a mixer with 2 vocal mics and a sm 58 on the bass drum and im quite glad with my sound.... i think the mixer alone will be 150$ +
is the EC snare head your useing a bright or dark head? becuase im looking for a bright head that is also dampend but that can still retain the openness of the head
@Ryanincambonia I think it's nice and bright and snappy but kills unwanted overtones. The sound is fantastic and the only reason I don't use them anymore is because they are not durable enough for my playing. (But I play really hard, a lot harder than you see in this video) so it should be fine for most drummers.
@Ryanincambonia Now I use a remo emperor X. The sound is much darker though because it's a 2 ply head with a center dot which kinda makes it a triple ply head. You have to tune it tight to get the same bright sound. If you're looking for a head that would retain the openness of the drum though you might not want the emperor x because of the thickness of the head it is really aimed towards very hard hitters and is more closed sounding
@DrumGuitarist1379 from my experience with remo ive always notice that the coating on the heads always chip off within about a week, thats why i dont use them
@Ryanincambonia Yeah I use evans on everything but my snare drum. If you can get a remo emporer X drumhead to peel or break within 3 months I'll be surprised!
@metalhead1225 Get a drum dial. Until I had one of these I sucked at tuning drums too, but since I've gotten this it's made me good enough to where I don't even have to use it anymore! just go to the guitar center website and search drum dial.
@centinela87 i think it might have been just under the recommended settings that come with it. My drums are tuned different now though, I don't really use the drum dial too much anymore I just use my finger to do the same thing and I seem to get the sound I want.
@metalhead1225 just keep in mind no matter how good you tune a drum it won't change the quality of the drum itself, which determines how good it sounds overall
I never would have though that I'd have over 70,000 view on a video. THANKS GUYS! (lets try to get that many views on my original songs!!!) /watch?v=ug-AvMngnBw
@DrumGuitarist1379 Ah k :P I have being experimenting with drum heads myself now for i while and still haven't found the right heads -.- like your snare sound btw,powerfull and balanced sustain.
how do you tune your bass drum? as in how far does the middle of the head compress when you puch it in with your thumb? also is there any muffling? I have to say this the ideal bass sound imo
@tranman978 This is an old video, so I'm not exactly sure how it was tuned, but I normally tune the batter head loose to get the low end, but not so loose that you lose response. Then I tune the resonant head a little tighter so it's punchy. If there's one piece of golden advice I can give you, get the Evans EMAD bass drum head. once you use it, you'll never want another head on your bass drum. I'm also using an Evans bass drum EQ pad
@DrumGuitarist1379 the problem i have is when i tune tom and bass heads low, i get a really floppy sound although there are no wrinkles on the head. and the bass head always sound too punchy at lower tensions but have too much reverb at high frequency. Another question is, do studio quality drum sets sound completely different live than in recording?
@tranman978 Try turning the lugs only like a quarter turn each time you adjust one. I kinda feel the same way and try to find a good balance between punch and reverb. I use moon-gels too for the toms which I think work great. You can get drum rings too. As for your other question, it depends on how you mix it. This video sounds more like the set if you were standing next to it, where as my newer song theres a lot of EQ and compression on the drums to make them sound more crisp and punchy
@Darkostica Evans's EC2's. Ever since I put these on my toms, I haven't gone with anything else, except a coated version on my floor tom. I love the sound of them.
@13of8 I usually tune the top head loose, but not so loose that there are waves or wrinkles in the head, and the bottom head a little tighter than the top head so it resonates well
@Poetavater89 I dont remember exaclty, I was only using the EQ and compression from a yahmaha cx166 mixer, not very high end at all, the tuning of the drums is more important
not that they're bad sounds but i didn't really like the snare or bass drum sound, other than that, awsome sounds! the bass and snare sounded like they were recorded on a tom mic, the bass needed more punch and so did the snare, but then again, thats just me...
Sounds amazing! how to you got your mixer running to your interface? i got a peavey pv14 and im getting an audix i5 for my snare, mid tom, and floor tom with a d6 on the kick, and im thinking about getting the same tascam
@DrumGuitarist1379 Im using actually 8-9 mics right now into a mixer, and then into a 2-port interface to my computer. I think its just tuning that I need to do.
@LinkEdwardDrums yeah I would recommend getting a drum dial. Before using it I really couldn't tune drums well. It gets the tension on the head the same at each lug, but it really teaches you how to tune by ear well after doing it a few times. Now I use it when I put new heads on to get them perfect, then fine tune more by ear
Soooo. I love your snare more then my family. Do you remember what it was and what the head was. The head looks familiar. I just love the tone. You're a great engineer and drummer!
@SomeGuyWithABucket I honestly dont remember it was just a 3 band eq and compression. I used a mixer and a digital recorder before now I use logic and protools
are you just using the given tools of the mixer or did you also worked with noise gaits and compressors and so on?! any suggestions for recording drums cause I'm gonna record soon
your kit sounds badass, but, if i have to say anything, why are your rack toms spread so far apart, it looks like it'd be kind of tough to do some transitions and fills, just sayin'

This video sounds more like the set if you were standing next to it, where as my newer song theres a lot of EQ and compression on the drums to make them sound more crisp and punchy

EC2's are the best. I put them on my kit and was so impressed. Anyway, great sound from the mics. Keep it up man!

@Darkostica Evans's EC2's. Ever since I put these on my toms, I haven't gone with anything else, except a coated version on my floor tom. I love the sound of them.

@DrumGuitarist1379 I can see why.... they sound perfect! I want these now, thanks man! Great vid!

can you tell me how your top and bottm heads are tuned on your toms?
13of8 6 months ago
@13of8 I usually tune the top head loose, but not so loose that there are waves or wrinkles in the head, and the bottom head a little tighter than the top head so it resonates well
DrumGuitarist1379 6 months ago
man great sound! can you tell me what eq and compression you put on your bass drum?
Poetavater89 6 months ago
@Poetavater89 I dont remember exaclty, I was only using the EQ and compression from a yahmaha cx166 mixer, not very high end at all, the tuning of the drums is more important
DrumGuitarist1379 6 months ago
dont get cocky with you playing, the setup is sick!!! a set up like that should have perfectly timed drums

@sickbo121 I kinda just go by the recommended tensions in the booklet that it comes with, but then I tune if further by ear, so i'm not sure exactlyl

not that they're bad sounds but i didn't really like the snare or bass drum sound, other than that, awsome sounds! the bass and snare sounded like they were recorded on a tom mic, the bass needed more punch and so did the snare, but then again, thats just me...

@LinkEdwardDrums What are you using to record with?
DrumGuitarist1379 8 months ago
@DrumGuitarist1379 Im using actually 8-9 mics right now into a mixer, and then into a 2-port interface to my computer. I think its just tuning that I need to do.
LinkEdwardDrums 8 months ago
@LinkEdwardDrums yeah I would recommend getting a drum dial. Before using it I really couldn't tune drums well. It gets the tension on the head the same at each lug, but it really teaches you how to tune by ear well after doing it a few times. Now I use it when I put new heads on to get them perfect, then fine tune more by ear

Nice, other than a really bad ring at 170 that's in or triggered by the kick.

Soooo. I love your snare more then my family. Do you remember what it was and what the head was. The head looks familiar. I just love the tone. You're a great engineer and drummer!

How did you EQ this, Very nice sound
SomeGuyWithABucket 10 months ago
@SomeGuyWithABucket I honestly dont remember it was just a 3 band eq and compression. I used a mixer and a digital recorder before now I use logic and protools
DrumGuitarist1379 10 months ago
@SomeGuyWithABucket dont mess to mutch with the EQ,
its just a matter of perfect drum tuning and muffeling.
I find less EQ better and more natural.(like this)
