Speaking of drums, anyone know who recorded the Dirty Three record, horse stories? the drum sounds on that record are sick. |

was it not this guy? i love recording drums with 3 mics (or two if one is a stereo mic). i wish more bands played open sounding music (and had solid, consistent drummers) simply so i could do it more! |

i can mic a kit and get workable sounds in 2 hours. i prefer to take my time and move mics, listen, audiotion compression, EQ, move mics, change mics...... i think the drums drive the sonic decisions you make for the whole record. if you don't get exactly what you want there, everything gets worse. i just like to take my time and print drum sounds that i know for certain are doing what i want. |

My house kit is down this week, but I'll have it back up for a session on Friday morning. I'll get them out and kinda put them where they need to be (and put mics up in the general vicinity around 8:00AM on Friday. The drummer will get there at 9:00, and we'll be done for a 10:00AM downbeat. If the kit is up and miced (as it usually is), it's a lot less work... |

when doing jingles and the like you have to be fast and i can see where dave might need to have a standard setup to get rolling quickly. but honestly, "house drum kits" and "standard setups" are not things i've ever used or plan to use in my career. |
