Finally tried Moongels

[~BURNY~]

How could I live without that stuff for so long?

Go down to family dollar and get you those window sticky things. Same shit dawg. I have a big 4 inch clover on the low tom and like fifty other ones stuck to my windows. 3.99.

Could you post a pic please, I'm not sure what you're talking about. We don't have family dollar stores here (EU) but I guess I could find equivalent places.

Dude moongel and the tunebot are absolutely indispensable nowadays....

 

[~BURNY~]

Already had the Tunebot for a while.

I love moongels. To be honest I find stock they're a bit big so I cut them down to half or even quarter size so I can get just enough control without making the drum overly dead.

Mind you alot of the time I don't even need to use them as I get a bit of resonance control from the triggers sitting against the head.

i usually half them too, or have half hanging over the rim

Just use duct tape; it's the same thing.

Just hold your hand against the drum

~BURNY~ I was expecting some examples and snare samples here, come on...

Duct tape works on everything so...

Sustain is the key to a great drum sound.

+1 but isn't sometimes better to get a dry quick snare sound and add reverb or blend tail samples to make it longer? Adding a few moongels around making sampling easier too.

Well i damp snare and toms too on rare occasions, when the drummer has bad drums, bad skins etc. But other then that i belive you can't get enough sustain

A good tuned snare/toms + a good drummer makes it just so much more fun, even though i always sample enhance the drums.

 

[LBTM]

If I get good tuned drums and a really good drummer/band I won't use samples but most of the times I'll have sampled everything before recording anything else. So moongles are great for get less bleed in the OHs...

By the way I would really like to see a "Haga Productions - Studio Haga Mixing Guide with crillemannen".
I really like the guitar and drum tones you're getting there!

Tried it, was not impressed with my experience. It didn't fit very well on the rim of either of my studio snares (Ludwig Black Beauty and Dunnett Steel, both with triple-flange hoops), and thus wouldn't lay flat on the head, no matter what I did. I went back to moongels.
