Yep - it's all in 4/4, but we hit the second 16th note in the bar.

So nothing on beat one, but a strong accent immediately after.

EBS TD650 straight in. Marcus miller fender 4 string, a little eq and compression in pro tools. The secret.... Is to set a mic up that points at your thumb. Picks up a v natural top end. :-))

[davemarks]

They are indeed :-)))

I really love this guy's playing . Seen him a couple of times with Buddy Whittington he blew me away! For my money one of the best drummers out there ...

@drummerboycraig Glad you enjoyed the tune! Its a Pork Pie Kit made from Cherry and Bubinga. Sizes are 10,12,16 toms, 22 by 18 kick and 14 snare.

[danielecozzi82]

@davemarks Sorry Dave but I can't understand how you set your mic. Can you explain please? Very great sound!!!

[wrchernoff]

Oops It must have pretty smooth transitions...l

[msfosella]

@DhampirBoy Thank you for explaining that. Now that you explained it I do see that a lot in videos but this can also be done in the recording studio? I must have to be pretty smooth transitions then for the ear not to sense it. I am not up on all the new recording techniques. :-)
