All live drums, no samples, no layering, no artificial reverb.

custom maple Truth kit (22", 12", 16", 14" 20pl maple snare)

Kick = D6 & sm57 on the front head
Snare = i5 top, sm58 bottom
Toms = D2 rack, D4 floor
Overheads = Russian Oktava K012s
Room = Sputnik

We tracked 2 songs today and everything is sounding beastly! I'll post a video of the tracking once I have permission from the band.

 

[NSGUITAR]

sounds good bra!


Sounds like maybe the room mic is a tad loud though. LOVE the snare.

 

[Widekmusic]

Great sound man, love the snare too!

[Charles J]

you continue to impress me, bro!! <3

 

[Harley Barley]

Your doing the new Still Remains album?! fuck yesssss! now im super excited!

sounds great too i would probably put a bit more click on the kick

 

[RandomAwesome]

Just 2 songs for now. The band isn't sure if an EP or full-length is the next step, but they are for sure recording it here once they figure it out

 

[FIXXXER]

snare and kick sound awesome, toms could be snapier. great overall sound!

 

[OneDaySky]

Everything is sounding beastly. Stoked to see the video of the drummer tracking.

 

[EOC]

Nice!

 

[Cacoph0ny]

I thought this band broke up?

sounds good

 

[AllanD]

COT DAMN that snare and kick. What head was used on them? I will say the toms aren't that great though, Emperor heads?

 

[xTomx]

On the kick, which mic was on the inside, which on the out?

Sounds awesome man, PAH-LEASE don't ruin it with samples!

 

[CatharsisStudios]

amazing

 

[Max Morton]

nice tracking! and hell yeah, the 012's rule as overheads! the room sounds tasty. what kind of room is it (dimensions etc)?

 

[colonel_claypoo]

great sound, I really like it.
any processing applied to the clip you posted?

 

[RandomAwesome]

Cacoph0ny, they broke up a couple of years ago but got back together for a one-off show for the Haste The Day farewell show. Playing that show got them interested in doing the band again. The lineup right now is the same from the Of Love & Lunacy album.

All the heads were Remo. For the snare.. I forgot, but it had the power center thing, and Emperors for the toms. I'm an EC2 kinda guy when it comes to toms but I wanted to give the Emperors a shot. A little volume boost and some EQ and those toms will sound enormous Kick was a Powerstroke 2 or 3, can't remember.

I track all of my drums in my 2 car garage. I think it's like 21' wide x 26' long and 11' high. I'll post some pics here in a bit.

The only processing to the clip is a bit of EQ and a bit of compression. Don't worry Tom, I won't ruin it with samples d6 inside, sm57 outside (on the kick drum resonant head, the way you would mic a snare)
