Metal Drums blast beat slow double bass

It's an extract of a Self composition. I recorded it with 3 Prodipe DM8 overheads, roland TD-9 module, RME FIREFACE400 sound card and cubase of course. The bassdrum is triggered with a Roland RT10-K, the snare with RT10-S and the 5toms with RT10-T. For the guitar track recording i put my multi effect direct in the sound card. If you have some question, i will be happy to answer them. You can let comments or mails if you need someone to record drums in your project or else. Thank you www.myspace.com/arnaudbioscar

Totally killer work all round. Loved the guitar parts and the drum arrangement is awesome! I have a DDrum Pro kick trigger and it's never been that reliable for me, so was thinking about switching to the Roland RT-10k to trigger my kick. Have you ever found it "misses" your hits when you play medium/fast double bass? I'm only getting 1/3 or 1/2 of my hits triggering with the DDrum Pro, but it sounds like every one of your kick hits triggered correctly in this recording? Thanks man, and keep up

@Zer0MT i don't know how the DDrum trigger works. But i think it's the same than the other. the problem comes from the drum module. What modul have you? you have to config it corecly. I take 2years to make it work perfectly. AND it's not Perfect as i expect. But it's not To bad :)

[Zer0MT]

@MrSonor Yeah it takes a lot of configuration of the module, and I've been playing with mine for months now. I think the DDrum Pro moves slightly on the kick drum hoop as you hit it, because I can get it set up ok initially, and then it will start missing hits after I've been playing for a while. So that's why I've ordered an RT-10K - it looks more stable.

I have an Alesis D4 module. Not the greatest module in the world but it seems to do the job as far as samples are concerned. Thanks!

[MrSonor]

@Zer0MT Yes, the RT10K Is very Stable, and not very expensive. I think you will have less problem now! Ask me if you have other question!

[DrummingWarrior]

This may be kind of a stupid question but I'd like to know how you actually recorded the bassdrum trigger? Because I want to start using triggers myself but I don't have a clue on how to connect a drum module to a mixer to record the audio/midi-signal of the trigger -coming from the module- into my recording software so that it would be like recording two seperate bassdrum tracks (I have 2 bassdrums). Is that possible at all? Thanks in advance. Any answer would be helpful to me. Cheers man! :)

[MrSonor]

@DrummingWarrior The schematics is easy. You have two captor (one on each bassdrum) [Midi signal] plugged in drum module. Put the module output [audio signal] in your Presonus mixer (i looked in your channel to know what material you have) like a normal microphone without phantom alim(+48V). At this part (after the drum module output) it works like a basic microphone. It's an audio signal (Not Midi). because the drum module convert the midi signal coming from the trigger To an audio signal

[Zer0MT]

@MrSonor Thanks man, appreciate it. And again, love the metal you're making and the drumming is awesome. Keep up the great work!

[DrummingWarrior]

@MrSonor THANK you very much! That was the answer I was looking for months now! :)

Cheers man!
