Matt Mercado of Sonic Palace takes us through his mic selection and placement techniques for recording a five-piece kit. And those drums? Sonic Palace's house kit: a custom made Trick Kit, crafted from aluminum shells. The advantage of which being, according the Mr. Mercado, is that you don't have to expend a lot of effort taking care of them.
Pay special attention to Matt's placement techniques on the ride and crash cymbals, and maybe, just maybe, you'll figure out how he gets that "dog barking in the background" sound he's famous for.
Matt is a good friend of mine.He is in Supermercado as well as Matt Mercado And The Amazing Devils(Got the CD from Him and it's Awesome!)and Trick Drums Rock!The Same ones Gregg Potter uses in Blackbox! How come Trick changed thier logo?thanks!Brainy at NW Media
