  • Who idiot puts TAPE on perfectly good sounding toms?

  • @gladiatus366 It's the idiot who understands acoustics of the room in which the drums are being recorded, and also understands pick-up patterns of the microphones being used.

  • What drum heads do you use? And would you recommend the Aquarians Heads you have or the Evans heads you had? What ever one you suggest will you let me now the model of head it is. thanks

  • @mayoazzzza Both Evans and Aquarian are great. I used to have EC2s on the tom toms, they have great attack. Now I have Aquarians Super 2s and they have more sustain and less attack, with a different tone. Either way you can't go wrong. The bottoms are Evans G1s original Tama heads. Now, for the snare it's Aquarians hands down. I use the PCRD and it sounds so good I won't use anything else. :D

  • What do you use to muffle the bass drum and what head to you use??? please reply!

  • @XthrownX Just two felt strips stacked on top of each other on the resonant ported head. Check my "How I record my Drums" video, part 1. I show the inside of the bass drum there.

  • Starclassic...GREAT CHOICE!!!

  • tuning your drums without a drum dial is pretty badass if your drums come out sounding like its been actually tuned with a drum dial...

  • @MrNickdrummer woah...you just served that guy...do you have a vid where you show how to tune the drums with a drum dial?

  • why does the sticker matter in positioning the head?

  • I love you simply because you use a Tama kit! :P

  • @MrNickdrummer Well, I just meant playing them live without mics, not thinking about studio at all. In studio the taping is fine.

  • Do u tune your reso tighter than the batter?

  • amazing tom sound, great sounding kit overall
