It's a simple selfmade construction. Just made a round board with light soffits and put it in the drum and hung it with wires...no harm to the shell

I can post detail pix if you like.. I used three 12 volt halo spots ...

It's all incredible, and I've never seen anybody use a drum shell for a light before.

The entrance door had to be enlarged and the lintel needed to be completely redone with a steal beam...(brick lintel is coming next week) also the ceiling arch which is in line with the entrance had long cavities and needed to be repaired.

Alle the electrical wiring is finished and I have 3 *20 Amp phases..sockets and light with switches in every room. A dedicated earth will follow in a couple of days...

also bought a drum kit

That is one beautiful set of drums.

[MidasHatesGold]

removed the oven (400 kg rolling on drumsticks ) and finished the booth...also bought an Evdntide TimeFactor... nice stomp box btw...

...to be continued

LoL.. i knew those had a good function!
...Bonus points if you got the drummer to push!

[MidasHatesGold]

New live and social room...starting to rip out the floor for a new slab...

[MidasHatesGold]

Finished a wall and almost ready for pouring the slab...

[MidasHatesGold]

First recording starts this weekend...

[Trev@Circle]

Wow. CR looks pretty radical. Would love to see more pics!

[AwwDeOhh]

the space turned out nice Midas. Got some real 'vibe'.
I love how you chisled some of the plaster off the brick and left some on! gives it a bit of charm

[MidasHatesGold]

First band recording...

VOODOO ANN & THE FUZZ OMBRES

The drums are sounding really nice in the brick room and the band enjoyed the vibe and will be doing their next album at "the tin drum"

will post a soundfile within the next days...

exciting times...

I bet that psyched you up a bit!

Congrats!

[MidasHatesGold]

Oh yes,

I am very pleased with the results...

this Is only a roughmix I´ve done right after the tracking to give the band an idea about their sound...The track is missing vocals and quiet a bit of eqing and leveling...But as I said...no reverbs used on this track...

Drums were tracked thru the audient asp 008 which I really like...

thanx alot

It´s a middle class ddrum diablo with new evans heads on all shells...

The snare is my private 1972 Ludwig Supersensitive...gotta love that snare!!!

I really like the room mic... its a t.bone stc2000 cheapo valve mic in omni 10 feet away from the drums... I also took cheap ribbons (rb500) for Overheads...

The rest is standard stuff: md421 on toms, md441 on hihat, sm57 on snare top and bottom and a sm91+d112 for bassdrum...

back to mixing...

to be continued

[jordanvoth]

You get good mileage out of that stuff. Shit.
Once again, good job.

[DCT3]

Wow... Just... wow.

I just read this entire thread in one sitting. What an amazing transformation! Great job Midas!

Almost forgot to post the concrete pix... Only 2 weeks until this needs to be the residential part of the studio for a band who will be doing a whole album... Panic!!!!
