For those who are interested: RAW DRUM TRACKS!

[LSD-Studio]

I remember someone asking for some raw tracks so he knows how they sound before they're processed etc...

I just tracked drums for this band and thought I'd upload some for you.

these are not the best sounding drums (ooold TomHeads), but still the drumset is pretty good (Yamaha Recording Custom, Sensitone-Snare)

as I said, that's how they are printed, NO processing whatsoever....

OHL and OHR are closemiced cymbals...I went for a rather separated sound so I closemiced them.

here you go:

have fun, enjoy, ask questions, give feedback...whatever you want

Wow, these OHs are soo clear (not muddy), the toms are awesome (no tons of low mids to scoop out) and I also like the snare a lot (it's crisp and it has body). How is the kick mic positioned? It's not my cup of tea, not saying it isn't good but sounds as if it's out of the kick drum or at least not very close to the beater (might be wrong, though).

Thanks a lot for sharing these

Yeah, all the things you've listed make sense.

So are you happy with your gear when it comes to recording drums? Anything you really want to add/change?
