  • haha doesnt this guy sound like jack black?

  • i think most people would consider led zeppelin to have the canon-sounding kick, hence all the sampling... metal drums tend toward the over-compressed bouncing basketball in a lot of cases.

    either way, you're right -- it probably wouldn't sound right.

  • @bishopdante Very cool! Sounds like an interesting effect, definitely worth trying out at some point. Thanks for your reply!

  • @Mic1904

    Well, the basic point is that the air inside it resonates like an organ pipe, and waveform that goes down it is a flat-wave-front rather than a point source wave front, so it doesn't lose energy as it travels down the pipe. It's sort of like a suboctave and an EQ,..

  • @bishopdante Hi, sorry to dig up a topic you posted a year ago. Could you spare a quick moment to elaborate on the "sewer pipe" idea? I like the first idea, with the kick drum on the other side of the room, with a mic in it. I actually tried something similar once just recording the rumbling resonance of a (very) large floor tom which was in the room we were recording drums in, then squashing it with a kind of 1176 all-buttons-in sound. I'm not sure I follow the sewer pipe idea though. Thanks!

  • @doremibboyre

    Unless you're looking for some room sound, which is quite common.

  • @seventhOFsix He looks like him too

  • Kinda worthless video---this guy never gives any tips (?).... He DOES sound like either Pauly Shore or Jack Black...

  • His voice sounds like a Robert Trujillo from Metallica.

  • @macadangdang07

    Jack Black had a dude baby with Pauly Shore

  • do the mics connect with the camera?

  • waste if time- the best drum sounds I have ever heard were mono tracks with 3 mics max.
