I hate the heavy gong-like cymbals too, which is why I keep a set of thin ones in-house. Just tell the monkey that while he made a brilliant choice buying those 1/2" thick garbage can lids that sound TERRIFIC live and that only the manliest of men could play, the thin ones are your "studio secret weapon" and that you won't tell anybody. |

I have a real question. Why are rock cymbals so freeking heavy and loud in general? They are overpowering when recording. They're too loud in the room when rehearsing. They ring WAY too long. Drummers always hit them too hard anyway. The only advantage is that they don't crack. Why why why? If you suggest lighter cymbals to most guys they look at you like you just suggested they should play in lace panties and high heels. So my theory is that it is all a big dick thing. Hmm? Or is it that they sound about right with a 25db foam ear plug ? Maybe the solution to the original poster's problem is to place the room mic in a 50 piece carton of ear plugs? |
