    SNARE thread - EQ, compression etc...

    I just got it because of the snap/body sound. It is a really nice snare when tuned right. Oh and plus, Chris Adler is an awesome drummer... He makes it all look so easy??! EDIT: Back to subject, It would be a good test to see if I could get the same (LoG) sound out of my old snare... hmmm

    Drum Overhead Positioning

    As soon as I saw bryans post I got to work :P I had been reading about how to properly setup overheads for a while and just needed a solid answer. Thank you! The kit's got a fuller/more punchy sound rather than a lot of cymbals. I'm quite surprised about the sound I'm getting even though I'm...
