    Kick Mic Shootout! 11 mic's, 3 positions

    Killer, thanks for doing this! I had a similar issue mic'ing a resonant head without a port using a D6. I thought maybe the head was slapping the mic and I didn't notice.

    What Can Two Dead Men Teach Audio Engineers About Efficiency?

    Great article! Actually made me realize that I enjoy tracking a lot more than mixing...

    need input from experienced drum dudes

    I prefer the tone of Superkick I/IIs but Powerstrokes will give you more attack and volume, which can be nice if you rehearse without a kick mic

    Touring the US with The Neighbourhood

    Right on, hope to see you there Jeff! Thanks Manic... I know what you mean. I can't remember the last time I've dug something that 15-year old girls listen to.

    Touring the US with The Neighbourhood

    Traveling with these guys as their monitor engineer for 5 weeks. First tour for me, and it's a headlining run on a bus so I'm pretty stoked. Hit me up here or on FB if you want to grab a beer! http://thenbhd.com/us/tour/

    hi hat for recording

    Paiste Signature Sound Edges sound great to me, pretty spendy but you might be able to track down a used set. Sabian Vaults are nice as well

    'official live sound thread'

    I always prefer a DI unless they need the toneshaping from the pre to mellow out their pedals

    +1 to the Puresound wires... lately I've been using a Green Bullet through a DI on snare bottom and am liking it
