Drum sounds for my new album

Hey guys.
I am just posting the raw unprocessed drum tracks for my band's new EP I'm working on, for some outside opinions.
They were recorded in a pretty small untreated room, with a Presonus StudioLive, no eq or compression was used during tacking or post.
Let me know what you think!
Tony

Very interested to see the picture there. The snare drums appears to be a 5'' or 5 1/2'' in depth but the recording gives the impression that it's a lot deeper.

Pretty decent drum sound you've got there and you should have pretty much everything 'there' once you start getting your mix fired up.



Cheers, Mark.

Yeah it's a 5x14 Ludwig Acrolite, I'm able to get it to sound pretty fat.

Thanks, yeah I was a little concerned about the room, but I have to say it didn't sound bad.

Is the snare tuned a bit too low?

It sounds very much like the Eagles "The Long Run" album snare. Very cool sounding to me.

Thanks, I was going for a more 70's snare sound for this. This is for a folk rock record. Yeah I was surprised with the room sound as well!
