Really nice overall sound. Seems like it would fit well into a song mix.

[chikidrummer]

What kind of china is the one on your right side?

[bleener]

@chikidrummer On my right, it's an 18" Istanbul Alchemy Raw Chine with a '50's Zildjian 13" hi-hat mounted upside down in it. The one to my left is an Istanbul Traditional with the other 13" hi-hat inside it.

Woo, great snare!

[SONORSQ2guy]

Great job, I like your Larry Mullen Jr. type of set up. Do you have the Overheads and Room Mic high or low in the mix?

[bleener]

@SONORSQ2guy Thanks! I'd have to go back and check that mix out; the overheads are probably fairly high in the mix with the room mics a bit below the close mics in level.

Nice to see someone on Youtube with a good drumset that is tuned and can play it very well.Not that i'm a tuning expert tho.Ludwig rocks btw :-) .

[Trowh]

what kit is that

[bleener]

@Trowh It's a Ludwig Classic maple kit and a 5" Ludwig hammered bronze snare.

What brand and model is the china at 1:11? It sounds fantastic.

[bleener]

@ultrasaturdayband

Thanks! It's an 18" Istanbul Alchemy Power-X China with an old 13" Zildjian A hihat stacked inside it.

Were the AKG 451e used on this video love the bright overhead sound, Im debating about pickup a used set or some beyerdynamic mc 930 every try them?

Regardless amazing drum tone!

@yngwiewylde690

I think when I shot this I had a pair of SM81s up for overheads. I'm going to do a new vid this week and I'll have a pair of Lauten Audio Torch tube mics on the overheads.

I haven't tried the Beyer 930s, but I've heard great things about them.

Thanks for the compliment!
