So there are like 10127834 topics on drums right now. That's cool, I just don't want to jack everyone else's thread.

This a question about loudness. I LIKE the sounds I am getting from my drums, but it is very low.

Which do you prefer when recording drums. Recording the raw Acoustic Drums, eq and compress, and know it's all you.

hi guys

I ve got a problem, we connected our electronic Yamaha drums to a reason, but the hi-hat is running late so the sound is f**king bad. we thought its becouse our reason software we use in pc not in macintosh, what d' you mean, the mac will cancel our problem?

I have a set of V-drums and live in a 2nd story apartment. I need to reduce to sound transmitted through the floor when I hit the foot pedals. The floor has carpet and I also have 3 area rugs available as well as sheets of particle board and laminate plywood. What would be the best way to do this?

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know I finally finished an application note up on my website on how to program the Boss BR-1600CD drum machine. I've had a lot of people ask me for this application note because they couldn't understand the user's manual. Hopefully this app note will help.

Hey all,

Just wondering all your techniques for drum kit recording. Overheads.

Anyone want to shed any light on their preffered techniques? Im talking pencil condensers or others? Stereo Crossover Pair? Which way you point them and all that! Whats the best way to minimise snare?

Im sure there is some fine secrets out there.

Thanks, you guys rule

I have a couple questions for some gurus out there.

First of all, what is the best way to mix two guitar tracks when they are both playing melodic lines (a la Killswitch Engage, Trivium etc)

Should they be panned to the extreme left and right or maybe halfway, or between half and extreme?

the crash cymbals on my current recording ( 80ies thrash metal) just wash, in other words there is very little attack and identifying single hits is very hard on the recording, is there a way to emphasize the hits in the mixing process, or is this a matter of choosing the right cymbals beforehand only...

Hello. I'm new here and this is my first post. I'd like to know how to get the largest, fullest sound I can get out of my drum kit. Right now, my kit's in a finished basement and the ceiling is 6' 8" high and the room is 12' x 16'. My 4-track and my cheap Radio Shack mics make my drums sound like they're made of paper plates, but they're all I have.
