Josephson e22s. Dammit.

I love my c42s and don't find them noisy at all. They're definitely snappy and suited to metal. I wouldn't use them on a rock project though as I recently did. Touch too toppy for that.

C42 I'm assuming. It's brighter than the KM184 (which is already pretty bright) and has a wayyyy higher internal noise floor, almost to the point where they're unusable on something like an acoustic guitar.

The 184 definitely has a lot more body to it but I can't say I've ever noticed the noise floor issue with the 42's. Definitely wouldn't be my first choice on guitar regardless.
 
Over head samples? I'll up them too. Snare, 2 racks, 2 floors. 4 hard hits of each. For this particular session there were 12 cymbals so I had a centre c42 as well slightly to the right of centre where there was a cluster of crashes and splashes.

I was talking about snare/tom samples but OH samples would be useful too. :D
 
Ok... I come with Clips. ( on snare)

TBH i probably should have spent more time position the Joesephon considering how much I used of it in the mix but what the hey, sounded great. I also used an i5 which is my go to, and here for comparison.

The soloed mic tracks are totally raw other than a touch of EQ i may have added on the Neve console on the way in.... and the tape machine, but I was pretty subtle with it.

The full mix is the whole kit as it was mixed (all processing etc.. ps no samples) with the e22 used as the principle snare mic, although the i5 was in there a tiny bit, but only just.

So...

E22 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/747294/e22 Solo.mp3

Thanks greyskull. Got any free snare samples?

Then shoot him a PM. I just think it's rude to ask anyone who posts samples of well recorded drums for free samples. Can't you just Match EQ your existing stuff to sound like anything anyways? :lol:

Definitely like the Josephson. It's just so good at capturing the transients, plus it sounds beefier and the bleed sounds more musical. Gah!
 
I'll re-up the samples when I'm back from the studio. The processing I ended up using on the final product compared to the samples I put out before is vastly different. I'll put up what I have anyway, and put the new improved version up when I get time to chop them up. Didn't end up using any samples at all on this recording, so didn't spend a lot of time working on them.
