| Kenny Aronoff @ Burst HQ We had the pleasure of tracking Kenny Aronoff yesterday on 4 songs for one of our artists. What an incredible player and great guy. I'll post some audio as soon as we make progress on overdubs. I thought some of you might enjoy these pics and slutty stuff... He played his Tama Starclassic kit, with 12" and 16" toms. We used his signature series snare (Tama) 5x14 and were pretty thrilled with the vibe. Tuned up, tuned down, we had lots of room to play around tonally. Coated Ambassadors on everything, except one song where we changed the snare to a Coated Emperor. Cymbals were Zildjian 18" Med Thin, one K, one A. 21" rock ride. Bright hats, I forget which. We used our Spider pres, as well as API 512s, Vintech X73s, 1272s, and Sytek. We just got some new limiters and toys from Vintage King (thanks, Mike!), so on various elements we were slamming Pye Limiters, Inward Connections TSL-3, and the Thermionic Phoenix... trying a few things out. Maybe another thread on those items someday. Mics: Kick - SM91, Beta 52 Snare - Beta 57, C414 under Toms - SM98s Overheads - AT 4051s Behind Kenny's Head - Korby (67 capsule used) FOK - R121 Near Rooms - Lawson 47s Hat - AT Pro37R I'm going to try and post more on this project as we go through it... we're pretty excited about the artist (Owen Sartori) and his songs. More soon!

| I've met Kenny a few times and let me say he's one of the nicest "pros" I've met! Super patient and not big headed AT ALL. He'll tell you all the stories you want and never seem big headed. Nicest guy in the world. ERic |

| Very cool! You mentioned Pye limiters, were these originals or Korby reissues. Impression? Andi www.doorknocker.ch

  | Kenny's setup always trips me out... the high and horizontal cymbals... that's pretty cool for separation... did he have an extreme tilt on the snare too? Not hitting shot's but hammering dead center? solid mofo. Wired naturally to the gills too. Love to hear the tracks!

I am pretty blown away. We had the Inward a few days before and we're grooving on it pretty hard, but the Pye just made things explode. Thick and vibey as hell. I need to do a full report on these new toys soon, but we're having too much fun and have some deadlines to meet this month!

| Great! One of my idols! He keeps smieling no matter what he plays! I first saw him on a gig with the The Smashing Pumpkins and I was impressed! I want to look like him behind the set! Totaly relaxed!

| finally something to hear... So we're finally wrapping up this project, and I thought some of you guys might want to hear one of the tunes Kenny played on. He's on "I Knew You'd Come Along" by Owen Sartori, the first song you hear at my myspace page. Rough 90 minute mix, so keep that in mind. We're headed to IPR (MN) to mix with Tom Tucker in a few weeks... he'll be mixing a few songs there, and we'll be wrapping up the rest of the mix here at Burst HQ before heading to LA to master with Gavin (at The Mastering Lab). Enjoy!
