DrumDial PT 2 + Studio analysis and Drum Track Editing

Drummer Freddy Maciel uses the DrumDial device in the studio during the drum tracks session of "Everyday Hero" with The Faded. Later he and singer Gene Blalock test the sound over the studio and comp the drum track.

NOTE: Drum Dial was used only to tune the toms. Snare and bass drum were tuned the "traditional way". :-)

This is NOT a "how to" tune your drums video...

You are supposed to use a spacer with it so it doesn't sit on the bearing edge. It looks like he had it all the way to the rim to me.

[CFMROCK]

Yeah it's kinda dark in the studio that's why you can't see the spacer but it's there. The spacer comes with the DrumDial and should always be used.

wat tension do u use for ur bass drum?...

[CFMROCK]

I never use the DrumDial for bass drum and snare. I always muffle a little my bass drum for more control so I don't think DrumDial would help much. We used 3 mikes - 1 inside close to the batter head... 1 close to the middle of the drum and 1 outside next to the response head. For the Snare I don't muffle it and I use only my ears. I use a tighter sound (higher tension) on it. On this track I used the Tama Lars Ulrich Diamond Plate Steel snare.
