Hey guys. Had some really nice drums to record this weekend. A Mapex Saturn kit. Was beautiful. Nice and sparkly with nice new heads. The kick drum had a mirror skin on the front... I loved it!
We hired out a log cabin for the weekend to record the drums. It's going to be a bonus track on our new EP.
The snare drum was an FVF Custom snare. It was 20ply maple sandwiching acrylic. Looked sort of like this but with offset lugs.
Anyway, samples are here.

There's 3 hard kick hits. The third one is the one I ended up using. Was miced with an Audix D6 right in the hole. There was a kick port thing on the hole which gave off a lot more beef from the kick. I had to get the mic in past it to get the attack I needed.
There's 3 hard/medium/soft hits for the snare drum. It's just the dry drum. It was recorded with a Shure Beta 57 about 2 inches above the head pointing towards the middle of the drum.
Hope somebody finds these useful
