For those that know me, know I have a somewhat cult status obsession with @keplingerdrums drums. My Goto snare has been a made to order 13″ stainless for some time now. I saw @revival_drum_shop post a Keplinger Stainless Steel 23″ Ride and just had to see what it brings to the table. I’m in a trashy cymbal phase, & I’m not at all disappointed. : : : : : ;; : : :

Inside view of how the creative process finds its way. My creative world is filled with never-ending experimentation. This is little insight into my creative process. For me is often sorting out the parts that don’t make the cut. These are such parts.

Late night tracking session for upcoming compilation, Set up three different stereo room fill mics. What pair sounds best? Keep in mind they will ultimately be mixed with the spot mics & overheads.

I scored myself a pair of original Wahrenbrock PZM Microphones. I built a “Wedge” for them over the weekend. You can learn more about that Via – This.
I can’t wait to use them as drum kit/tracking room mics.
I’ve induced 3 others I recorded for test purposes. (Prophet 08 , Udu, & Tabla.)
I record a lot of hard percussion, Udu & Tabla are the hardest to get to sit in a mix. They have very FAST attack with sustain at times. It’s hard to get both to translate. Anyways I recorded some BS perc noodling to see how the OS would handle them.. I’m impressed. Checkout the end of the Udu test, The low doom sounds have a nice harmonic/grit added to them from the OS.
