| It's pretty much been covered by now, but I've gotta go with the guys saying hit the drums hard and the cymbals soft. If you can't control your room, you'd better be able to control your drums, cymbals, heads/tuning, and playing....if none of it's good you don't have a chance in hell of getting a good sound. Really take your time with mic placement too.....whether the room sucks or not it'll make a difference, but it sounds like the room sucks so that might be your saving grace. Then stop worrying about bleed - if Brendan O'Brien doesn't sweat it, why should you? |
