How is my first drum recording?

[tr3nt]

Just got my Presouns Firepod the other day and I finally had time to record some drums..

Here's my first try raw with some mixing and panning.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1371004/drumsedit1.mp3


Then I tried to edit them a bit. (No idea what I'm doing yet.) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1371004/drumsedit3.mp3


I'm asking if these sound good or not, I'm wanting to know if I'm on the right track to getting an awesome drum recording. Help me out please

Thanks&Godbless

wrong subthread.

wrong subthread.

collecting post-counts? this guy posted some recorded drums, no mix. drumrecording is something that will easily find a place in the production tips subforum, and the only reason it's not is because you didn't post anything helpful.

I'm sorry I can't really help at this moment because I'm listening through headphones BUT: I think this is absolutely not bad, it sounds really natural and roomy and I like that for a raw sound. I like the kick and the snare as far as I can tell but the hi-hat sounds really hard (in a bad way).

Tell us a bit more about it! Which mics got used, maybe you have some pictures of the miced up set?

Not bad at all. The hi hat sounds cheap though, but that might be the hi hat itself . Also, no tom mics?

That sounds pretty good and usefull! I'm curious about the room you were recording. Mind sharing us some pictures?

I'm recording in a fairly large rectangular room in my basement with a cement floor, wooden walls and ceilings. The high hat mic was horribly placed under it, I'm confident I can make it sound better. I was using a dynamic mic on it also.

I'm kind of on a budget and I don't have enough mics for my new interface yet so I'm slowly getting mics for the toms haha.

Here it is with a poopy guitar track I quickly put over it.

OH edit: Mics

Bass Drum - AKG D6 ($100 dynamic)

Toms were in the overheads and the kit is a Tama Rockstar
