hey there!
whenever i record drums, i end up with a rather dull snare sound..

I am looking in the Interstate Music catalogue for a good mid-priced snare to get for my studio. Also, a set of congas?

I want it for sessions that require subtle snare accompanyment. Brush work and quiet rI'm shot stuff.

I started this as a separate topic from SM-57 on snare because I have a different experience. Drummers ALWAYS loved my snare sound and I never used two mics. I "could" have used a bottom mic to add the snare sound, but every time I tried it I dumped it because I didn't need it. I can't think of one session where a drummer asked me "where is the snare sound?"

Hi Folks,

Just picked up a older Slingerland Snare and I wanted to find out when it was made.

It is a 5 1/2 x 14, 6 lug the finish is Dark Blue Sparkle.

Drum has a serial six digit serial number on it and it is in realy nice shape.

Does anyone know where I can find out how to date this snare?

Thanks

Mike

I'm getting less than optimal results with my sm57... I know everybody loves them but what's better? I've been using a condenser on the snare because the sm57 lacks enough clarity and crack to cut through the mix(yeah, yeah, I know change it at the source.. 3 snares later i change the mic!) But now I need something with more body too. any suggestions? anybody use the Audix D1?

Hey everyone --

Whats some tips and tricks to get the bass drum to really thump,
and to get the snare drum to sound punchy?

Thanks in advance!

How many of you send the snare track to a stereo reverb, send the reverb to a different bus and mix it in with the dry snare track and how many of you send a reverb to a mono aux and just add as much (or as little) reverb directly the dry snare itself? What seems to work better? Or is it, like most things, a case by case deal? Just curious...Thanks.

Hello there I'm new to this forum but am really liking it...
I have had a enough work in studios to know how to work them but really do not like my engineering skills ( the sound and tones of everything i record )
I am doing a recording of a Hardcore band ( for those who dont know hardcore is a cross of punk and metal ) in a couple of weeks.

After getting screwed by an eBay scam artist and losing my Audix D1 purchase, I have to start over again.

Does anybody have any first-hand experience specifically comparing the D1 with the M201TG for close-miced snare?

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.
