Thanks guys I really appreciate it! The snare is 100% natural btw, really proud of that on this project. Kick and toms 100% replaced, toms (shitttttty heads all beat to fuck and untuned, so just triggered them) = Trigger with Maple Set and kick (always trigger anyway) is apTrigga with my Despised Icon kick samples.
@Perishh: Yeah just a single 57. I guess the trick, well for this anyway, is finding a good angle for the mic. I had too much fizz before, started angling it and got it to where it was too dull and then worked my way back (towards 90) until I liked what I heard. Also, it's 1" from the grill, forgot to mention that. I have tried Fredman technique a few times with unfavorable results so far, dunno how often I'll be able to mess with that more but I'd really like to.
