KISS and their snare rolls

Ok, so I am listening to KISS recently, and I notice somthing about their snare rolls. They seem to have a faint flanging quality to them. Anyone else noticed that, or heard a similar effect on any other album?

my little brother just gave me their greatest hits, I think I may have to start picking up a few of their albums, great stuff.

Preamp 20db pad question: Happy Accident!

I was recording my singer, Mattie, in the basement the other night for the first time in months.

First my setup:

Blue Baby Bottle
Speck MicPre 5.0
RNC
Speck ASC EQ
> A/D converter (S/PDIF)>Echo Mia

So, the signal was pretty hot. I engaged the
20dB pad on the Speck MicPre and boosted the input gain accordingly.

pc based studio recording setup

I'm fed up with my Roland digital 8 track recorder; the zip drive constantly crashes and I've lost more than one song. so. I want to convert my studio to a PC based system. The problem is that I know nothing about recording with a PC. I know that there are many easy to use systems and I'll look into which one is best for me.

Opinions on the Groove Tubes MD1B?

Either the Tube or FET version?

I understand that these are re-makes (or cheaper copies) of some earlier GT mics.

Musician's Friend is blowing these out and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these mics and could describe the sonic difference one could expect between the tube and FET (the FET being describes as "warmer" in product ads).
