@wendepic : Kiitos! Tiedot löytyvät Kumun sivuilta setin 296 kohdalta. Kerro Pekalle terveisiä, kun laitat tilauksen vetämään! :)

Sweet playing. I adore your Kumu. out of curiosity, where exactly do you position your H2? I'm trying to get the best audio out of my Q3.

Btw, i'm sabian_HH from the PDF.

[tserhey]

@EliGreenDrums : Thanks! The H2 is right behind my head, mics pointing toward the bass drum's batter head.

Great playing, and your drums sound great - what settings are you using on the H2 recorder to get such good quality sound?

[tserhey]

@GraceC250 : 44.1kHz wav, low gain, but that's beside the point. To get a good sound, you need to make the instrument sound good and position the microphone in the right place.

@tserhey Varmasti laitan terveiset ja kiitokset setin numerosta!

Checked out the Kumu site. Absolutely gorgeous drums and the owner has most in-depth explanation on choosing the right drums for oneself. Those Superwoodhoops esp. look and sound fantastic.

Sounds great. I am looking into the H2, and I really like the sound you are getting. You are the first person that I have heard of that places it behind you.

Nice sounding drum!
