Hi folks,

I'm almost done recording a demo CD for a Beatles cover in which the drums were played on a Yamaha TD-7 and further channeled through samples from Platinum Drums and Drumkit from Hell.

I use (like everybody) an extra hall for Snare, extra for Toms and extra for the kick. Would you suggest another one for the whole set?
It sounds strange when youcan hear a Hall on the snare, toms, kick and the O.Hs and hi-hat is "dry".
Thanks - Vagelis

I am working with a great sounding but very dry drum kit. What kind of a drum room do you "put this kit in" in a mix ?
Do you let it share the "main reverb" (minus the kick drum)?
Do you give it a separate (smaller?)drum room ?
What kind of parameters do you use for such a drum room?

Opinions on this?

The room is a drywalled basement with a low ceiling (prob about 8'.) Cement floor covered with carpet. The room is probably 20 x 30. The kit is against the back wall, standard stage setup. Any suggestions for better placement of the kit?

Right now I have crisply smeared mud if that makes any sense.

hello.

I'm having an enormouse problem getting a drum sound at the moment. I generaly don't like to use too much close Micing but end up having to because I can't deal with the noise from the cymbals any other way. Lots of ride required. Room is smallish 15x12 and has quite a low ceiling.

I used to have foam on the ceiling but this got taken down when I re decorated.

Howdy!

Anybody have any good tips on how to mix room mics on rock drums (compression and eq)? I know a lot of people usually compress the hell out of them, but I cannot get any desirable results.

I am limited to using only plugins and I am guessing the 1176 or the LA-2A plugin would be the way to go. Any tips on settings?

I'm gonna record a real loud band. I usually use a V-drums system for drums but this time I want to record the drums 'real' I can use a very good room (15mx10m and 4m high). I want to make good use of this room for recording the drums, i have a RODE classic mic for this.

How do you get a room mic in phase with the drum kit if it is a good 8 feet from the drums?

I have a great sounding studio drum kit (Ayotte/Paiste) and a great sounding wood/concrete/carpet room that measures approximately 20'x22'x11' high with a vaulted ceiling. It's professionally spec'd and acoustically treated (bass traps, dimensions, etc.) I know it's not large by drum room standards, but it sounds large and powerful.
