Thanks guys. I only used 1 mic on snare and 1 mic for kick just as a quick youtube demo set up. If samples are made they will be full mic sets. (overheads, stereo room mics, plus 2 close mics. :heh: Cheers!

This is my first snare build. 14x8 horizontal maple stave. Trick throw and butt, Tama older style diecast hoops w/gate, custom ordered to specs tube lugs, puresound blaster wires. I recently picked up a shop smith Mark V (big ass wood working machine) to help me build my next drums, I thinking...

Thanks for the support and kind words guys. I actually re-amped using a 57 and 421 about an inch away from the speaker grill. During mix down I got rid of the 421 and only used the 57. That vibe you are hearing is a 15% or so wet level reverb to add width while guitars are playing on their...

Thanks!!!

Thanks egan and you're right abt. They got a good tour coming up in October with Deicide and Septic Flesh.

Hello Guys, Been a awhile since I've posted here. I wanted to share with you a new track off Abysmal Dawns upcoming record. This is just 1 of 10 songs, keep in mind this is more of a groovy song. There is plenty of crushing fast BPM blast beats and double bass etc in the other songs. I...

Haha! Right!? Hoping for low 90's is still hell on earth, just a little less satanic. \m/

Great collection you got here man. Thanks! They sound great. I know its a lot of work to cut and prepare all the samples.

Helll yeah Jeff! Hows this heat wave treating yah? bad time to be a drummer in the I.E. haha!

Absolutely my point. Awesome!!! Now thats what I like to hear.

Thanks man! No need to feel jealous tho. I've seen a lot of you guys throughout the years do some amazing things here. I love to see that people on here are doing what they love and getting some recognition for it. We are all on the same team here, to help one another out. Cheers :kickass:

No clue where to post such a thing on the forum. I seem to live in the "Backline" section from all the drum samples I've upload in the past, so I figured I'd dump this here. haha! I was recently interviewed for my studio and projects and what not. Wanted to share this here if anybody cared to...
