Fun with time-lapse. Kick head change, kit reorientation, and setting up the ole mics. .

Another experiment in my world of recording while hitting things. Trying out the Remo Powerstroke 3 clear on kick batter, with a Black suede on reso (No hole). Re-orientated the kit with the Racks & Floors to my hard left and right. Made room for optimum hat/cymbal ergonomics. Have some new cymbal additions under the mic – 15″ K Sweet Hats, and some K custom special dry’s scattered about. Loving that line.

I’ve been meaning to set up various ambient mics around this facility for some time now (19 years or so). I have some drum tracking lined up to record and finally got around to giving this a go beforehand. I set up a basic Kick/Snare/Hat kit and six different mic locations. Some more successful than others. The video cuts between the mic setups to showcase the results.

What location do you prefer?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any drum geekery. Trying out some new mic options before laying down some drum tracks for @youshriek . I recently got myself a @heisermanaudio H47 and quickly acquired a 2nd from the same batch. Trying them out as drum overheads. I’m pleased. ..

Giving @audio.damage ENSO + Drums a go. Channeling a little bit of Vinnie I have to say
