RockStar Studios Drum Session 1

[Obamasuxfor4]

Good job. Great sound. Keep up the good work.

[lynsuefa]

Hector,congrads -good solid drumming not just alot of noise like most drum vids i see.

Your a good hitter not killing the drums but making them sing I like your style and your timeing is very good.

Keep up the good work.

[drkgrimes]

nice drumming

[MusicDrumKid]

you play  very good

[allXelseXfails]

i love those hihats :D

[MARSHOMEWORLD]

Great feel and chops! Very nice work.

[metallikuh520]

you play the song really well but the song sucks....but then again thats completely the guitarist's fault haha.

[rundarylrun]

personally. if you can play and hit the toms in the center of head, that shows even better coordination of drumming. and when you got small ass toms like this guy, clean/

[misiek7582]

I Think thats Hand Hammered Raw Bell Dry Ride 21" Signature By Phil Collins

[addmin2227]

damn you got small toms mine are tank compared to yours.lol

[a1gold174]

[Oretruss]

guitar tone is terrible.. a bit thin.. but the drums are fantastic! good groove, good feel.. great rhythm.. and since that's what this video is all about, A+!!

[SabianDude76]

Yeah I agree, the guitar is a bit thin.

But other than that, a killer drummer!

Congratulations! How long have you been studying and what's your drumset? Answer me, I'm really interested

[rockstarstudios]

I've been playing drums since i was like 8 years old.

My drum set is a Tama rockstar

[omarsote1]

[krizone]

YEAHH Nice session,!!! Congrats

[kaarmaa]

Ya te habia dicho que me gusta mas como tocas la pila verdad??

Oye suena chingon cada parte de la pila...

Che rocker

[hegnirst]

wot are the settings on ur mixer for the toms? cus i love the sound of urs mate

[rockstarstudios]

I bascially just roll off some mids and add some highs and lows at about 12k and 100hz

and just a bit of compression on the main drum bus

[mjdeben1]

Nice Sound. How do you get your Kick to sound like that?  Do you use any kind of compressors or gear like that?

[JaeRainier]

you should play better songs if you have that kind of drum kit.

[LimpBizkit706701]

i know, a splash.. is that a mixture of china and splash?

[rockstarstudios]

its a 10" Sabian AA China Splash

[LimpBizkit706701]

what kind of cymbal is that by the hi hat?

[bloodbath78666]

i got a few questions

what do u think is better coated heads or clear heads

and nylon or wood tip sticks

[rockstarstudios]

hey thanks for the comment

i like coated heads because they give a warmer sound and they have less overtones, that people usually dampen with tape in clear heads, altough I sometimes buy clear heads if i need a more agressive sound.

with sticks I like nylon because they give you a more sparkly sound and if you do fast stuff with hi hats, they sound clearer. I really dont use wood tips.

[progdrummer77]

You seem like someone who is into Gavin Harison and Porcupine Tree. Am I right? Oh and the obvious Mike Portnoy influences are there too.

[doughdoughhead]

love the steadiness. those guitars are just silly

[LimpBizkit706701]

full sound..thats pretty good...man i love this...i play drums too ^^...since 13 years... Do u looking for a new band?! ;-) ^^...

[knreal]

AWESOME!!!!! very clean, one question, what kinda set do ya use, and what heads?? thanks and awesome job bro, keep it up man!!!

[rockstarstudios]

Hi, thanks for the comment.

I use a Tama RockStar set and I mainly use Evans Heads for the toms and the snare except for the Bass drum. I use an Aquarian Super Kick II

[knreal]

awesome, i play a Tama starclassic performer, and also use evans heads, im tryin get a new bass head, and everyone says aquarian superkick II is good so i might take them up on that lol, cool man thanks!!!

[rockstarstudios]

well Evans makes the EMAD bass drum head, that sound pretty good and has dampening rings like the super kick II but they are removable so check that one out ...

[bigmich485]

Nailed! simple but perfect!

[RWood3128]

awesome job dude...can't get any cleaner then that...and your set sounds amazing

thanx

[Lattesociopati]

What's youre band called :D?

[Lattesociopati]

What's the song called?

I think it's very good!

[rockstarstudios]

This song is called Lost Generation Part 2. Thanks for commenting

[starmz]

..chr bro i lyk the camera change ..MEAN..cuply sneaky double kick..lyk it...far mean funky jam..wicked set bro..all the way from lil new zealand

[rockstarstudios]

eeey .. thanks a lot ... liked your comment!!!

[drumbryan]

Basically good room, nice compressor thats not wavey and noisy, and mics! Also a mixer with good tone, low noise and full eq helps. Move mics around till they sound the best. Phase one of your snare mics too, since their pointing towards eachother, or else they sound weird! (That's using a phase switch on mixer for top or bottom snare mic channel.) I know too because I record drums. Presonus makes a sweet 8 channel compressor too.

[phildrummer]

that was excellent , you totally played for the song

[MAAILMANISOINMIES]

yea :D I mean't like a carpet rolled like a tunnel in front of the bassdrum to add more length to the bassdrum. And then a microfone is added to the end of the "tunnel" and also inside the bassdrum. It gives the bass some more kick, or so i have heard. the tunnel has to be made out of some soft material

[MAAILMANISOINMIES]

Did you use a "tunnel" in front of the bass drum? like a rolled carpet for example.

[rockstarstudios]

Not sure what you mean..... but i guess if i dont know ... that means i didnt use any of that .. haha ... thanks for the comment

[fishdrum1x1x]

hey how do u get your drums to sound like that please tell me

i always wanted like really nice drum sounds

[MrJohnCool]

Just a good set of mics, I'd say!

[rockstarstudios]

thanks for the comment.

The 3 basic things you need are:

1)Good Set of Drums and Cymbals

2)Good Mic's (you can get away with 2 nice overheads a good Bass Drum mic and a sm57 for snare)

3)Good Pre-amps

that will give you a good recording to work with

then just add the Eq's, compressors etc

[fishdrum1x1x]

yer i but i wanna no how u make them souns like they fade awad like dummmm mine just sound like nicko mcbrains
