| Who care about samples? Just kidding, bring on the samples. The key thing is that he nailed a sound that he loved on a kit with $320 worth of microphones. If there's a broader statement to be made it's not "57's always sound great on overheads" but rather "a great pre-amp will allow you to get the most of generic and/or inexpensive mics." But I think that most of us have learned by now to spend the money on the pre first before plugging a U87 into an 003 and wondering why the mic doesn't live up to the hype.
That being said, I would love to hear your 4x57 drum sound! |
