simonv · 8th February 2007

Hi everybody,

I'm recording my album right now in a great studio, and the studio engineer is using 2 Electro-Voice RE-20 on the kick, and we removed the external skin of the drum, and it sounds so much better!!

What's up with that? Howcome?

Why do we keep an external skin if it sounds great without one?

Cheers,
Simon
