Can you tell me what kind of reverb settings for hi hat and snare have been used on the albums "Stand up" and "Everyday" by Dave Mathews. I am wondering if they add an extremely short delay also. Can you get those settings with the reverbs in Logic Express? Thank you

Im in the process of mastering some drum tracks and have one quick question:
while mixing the snare and bass drum,is it advisable to have the bass drum set at a lower db level,and let the bass guitar bring the lower freq,s into the mix? :?

I am in need of a new snare head and was wondering what would be the best for my playing style. I play pretty hard and do a lot of blast beats (which require a more sensitive head). I want something that is durable but doesn't sacrifice good sound and sensitivity. I was looking at the aquarian power house but it looks like its just a tank that pays no attention to sound or sensitivity.

very strange?
I am buying bunch of drum mics this week.

What happens acousticwise if I mike a snare from the top and from the bottom also?
I need acoustically basic answers.

Ok, there is my prob, i m loosing my snare when my distorted guitars comes in. when soloed or in the drum kit i m very pleased of the sound, very punchy etc, but with the distorted guitars un muted, its like its drowning into mud, have to raise the volume of the snare...
what kind of eq can i boost or cut in snare or distorted guitars to have those 2 well separated ?

I sometimes battle with a ringing in the snare. I have been reading a lot about drum tuning. What is it that makes the drum ring like so? Are the heads too loose, too tight, not broken in enough? I just don't know...
I can't very succesfully EQ it out. It's all over the frequency spectrum, but it seems to be around 700Hz that is most anoying.

Has anyone any ideas of how i can reduce the spill from the hi-hat I'm getting on my snare mic.

ok so i've recorded my drums with the following setup...

kick- AKG d112
snare top - sm57
snare bottom - sm57
hi-hat - AKG c414 tl II
toms - Audix d2
floor tom - Audix d4
overheads - studio projects c4

Just wondering if any of you guys have any insite on how the pros can get a snare drum so loud and natural in the mix. I was listing to a tune the other day and the snare was as loud as the vocals but the rest of the kit was barely audiable. The snare was also very clear, and natural sounding. How do they get that seperation?
