I gots all ya info right here!

Being friends with the guys I got some pretty intimate details of what was going on, in addition recording at Systems Two myself for years the place has a very distinctive sound!

The live room was a small booth basically which give the drums a real UP FRONT quality. Drum kit was a Sonar Force 3000 that was owned by the studio. The studio itself is renown for recording Jazz not Metal. But all of us Brooklyn guys recorded shit there cause they did a discout rate for locals. Drum are all natural on that the guy that run the studio has a collection of mic that would make most producers shit themselves. They are known for getting killer drum tones.
