All natural drum test!

[Onset to putrefaction]

I've been using slate samples to replace drums for quite some time.. so i thought i should probably try NOT replacing drums and actually mixing raw ones... So this is my attempt
Sorry for the crappy drumming i didnt practice with the song before i played it hah.
Sm57 on the snare, Sennheiser e604's on toms, Audix D6 on kick, ATM450's for overheads and i used a AKG perception 200 for the room mic in front of the kit.
Opinions? http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/95609-drumtest.mp3

Not bad at all!
I could use a little bit more click on the kick tho imho

 

[Ben Johnson]

Mars Volta?

Sounds really good.

 

[Morgorroth]

can you post the song with loud Vox etc?
Drums sound very good, a bit more click (as earlier said) would make it even better though

 

[diesterminus]

Love the snare sound

 

[Djabthrash]

Nice.

This Mars Volta song is awesome btw.

Kudos on the song choice TMV has become a fave in recent months. Their new drummer is insane. I like the mix, but a little more attack on the drum, a coax a bit more crack out of the snare. Cheers

Not bad at all That's definately The Mars Volta, i'm hearing the headphones/whatever

Only missing those badass ghostnotes from the original track Don't worry, i think it's a pretty hard song to play too :0

 

[paladin shredder]

mars volta ftw! hey tell us more about the drums sound, what kind of kit, what plugs you used for mixing and stuff. sounds really good btw.

Whoa! hah thanks guys! im glad to hear my work is liked! ... I have a pearl export series, and a Tama starclassic 13 x ... something hah snare. Remo powerstroke 3 on the bass. For plugs.. i Have pro tools m-powered so i used the Pro tools Eq3 on the bass and snare and oh's . BF76 compressor on the bass, BF compressor on snare with some d-verb, just a high pass on the cymbals, Then on the drum buss i used the Rcomp with the drum preset... i messed with it a little. and TAPE HEAD! after that.. thats about it... if anyone is interested i can put up some EQ settings

and yea it was Inertiatic ESP off of my favorite mars volta cd, deloused in a comatorium. The new drummer is real crazy; but i liked Jon theodore better

 

[Frankzappa]

Sounds real nice and natural man. Can you post the raw files? I want to have some fun too

 

[ScootBaloo]

Dosent sound like crappy drumming to me.
Makes me realise that using BFD2 I am not going to get as good a result
as having a real drummer, Oh well.
