instead of posting comments stating out random stupid facts that are obvious to the general public, why not state some thing of value and criticism to help.
by the way, this video is over 2 years old, my studio qualities have improved.
hey man thanks. if you want to hear better quality, go in my video channel and click the tj haslett - drum solo video. the quality is phenominal in it.
Well this is why you need some assistance. Get a drummer, tell him/her to hit the rim shot hard and bring the pre up slow till you get a good signal and no clipping.. You can then boost the audio in Logic..
For your kick drum, get a EVAN EMAD2 and a EMAD reso head. also get a 24x24 acoustic foam, cut to fit inside the kick drum. The foam will remove plenty high freq ringing.. Tune the head loose but not too much. Then do the EQ..
Also the overheads need to point down! The one on the right of the video needs to be pointing to the cymbal..
Thats a CLASSIC Swingstar.. nice sound.
Work a bit more on the kick placing the mic at the port hole, half way in, lay it down inside (with a pillow), change the angle, etc... you will get many diff. tones..
thanks a lot for the advice man. i have messed with the pres on the presonus. none of them go red except for the snare mic when i do a rim shot. i cant prevent it and it will always go red. i have the snare mic 45 degrees facing towards the middle of the snare head. its a true pain in the ass. ive been trying to get the kick t sound more clicky as opposed to like shit. idk what to do.
you could try mounting the snare mic a little higher off the drum at the same angle. and for your kick: what kind of beaters are you using and have you tried a danmar pad?
Its very Hard to set the levels by your self! Have your brother hit the drums hard and bring the pres on the presonus one by one as he hits each drum and set the level with headroom to prevent clipping.. you can use the red led clip indicator.. Make sure it does not go red.. Its bad in digital recording to clip..
The kick sounds like its doing some drr drrr. Are you playing heel up or down?
loads of reverb on the snare! :D

I'd increase the volume of the bass drum a little.
But that's just my opinion, other than that: great stuff man!
