Cymbals are prominent without being too crispy...which keeps the recording more "warm".

Bravo...what are you doing for your encore?
Man, I'm having a CD release party and playing some gigs. I will admit to having some really fine help with the mixing and mastering, all of which was done in Tennessee (I'm in California). Eventually, when we have more songs put together, we'll do another one but that's gonna be a while.

Interesting you mention the drums, I use the "Glyn Johns" 4-mic method. Mics were a 57 for close snare, a Beta 52 for the kick (first time I EVER got a good kick sound), an MXL603s for the side "overhead" and an ADK A-51 for the true overhead.

I was going for a "not too slick" sound so it looks like I managed to do that. And not a Studer in sight.
