Cymbals overpower everything. Too bad it's a lot harder to mic drums than it is for any other instrument or vocals.

ya know it's the drummer who's holding the contest yeah?

@hunter1801 Hi hunter1801. I'm hoping that you'll go to the Queen Extravaganza website and give my 2nd round entry a look and possibly a vote. I borrowed a mixing board to get better sound from my drums since that was a big criticism on here. I'm hoping the improved sound will get your vote and help me to the finals! Thanks Brian Butwin

Wow, I'm just blown away that I'm one of the drummers that made it to the next round. What an honor to even get this far. The next video will have the drums mic'd and will sound hopefully sound better. Congrats to everyone else as well!!! Brian

yea its not too bad but you have to watch how u mic everything...production quality is just as important as performance

[thatisso80s]

Yes, you are right the acoustics suck but you do not. Awesome job... just chill those cymbals out.

@FlyinBrian777 Thanks so much!

[irbenaid]

Wow, I couldn't believe it when I looked today and saw that I'm almost up to 5,000 views! Thank you all so much. I see that most of the comments about not liking it have to do with the sound and I totally understand that. I'm just not a producer though. So it's live and it's raw! I'm so overwhelmed by the nice and sometimes funny comments on here (like do I ever hit myself in the head). I thank you all! Hopefully I'll make it to round 2 because of you. Thanks again!!! Brian

@irbenaid Regardless of the sound and criticism, your timing was solid and the discipline shows. I enjoyed it.
