| First drum recording Hello! My first drum test recording of my newly appointed Mapex M-Birch Drums and Paiste Alpha cymbals (13" HH, 10" splash, 14" crash); 4.5m x 4m x 2.7m large room (my mixing/tracking/whatever room), with some 90kg/m3 dense rockwool slapped around the room - no absorbent material above the drums. [Edit: added picture of room]  (the red rectangles mark the proposed placement for some Wave Panels foam wedges - not yet installed) 2 x Oktava MK012, 1 x Audio-Technica ATM250 into Echo Audiofire 8 preamps and Joe Meek Threeq (on kick drum, no EQ or compression). OH positioning based on a hastily implemented Recorderman technique; kick drum mic simply jammed in - no time to move it around. Mix-wise: a smashed-up centered overhead for a bit of grunt (I hope  ), a bit of EQ on the overheads and kick drum, and some limiting and compression on the master bus. Add some Kurzweil Rumour "Studio Room" reverb for a bit of live feel, and... voila.Anything done really good or really bad in this recording/room setup/acoustics? Is it a somewhat good starting point for mainly pop rock drums? Any opinions appreciated. (don't mind the drummer, dunno who the drunken bastard was  )Mihai Toma |

| @Audio Hombre: you mean they're very low in tuning? If so, you're right - this is my first real drumkit after many years of bangin' the drum equivalent of a Behringer mic preamp, and maybe I was over-zealous (and maybe not actually good) at tuning them LOOOW, just because I could, for the first time in my life.

| Yes, give the toms another quarter turn, the kick and snare another half. Even though it raises the pitch, the drums sound much bigger. What sizes and heads? |

| 12", 13", 16" toms; 14" snare, 22" kick. (Evans EC2 on the toms, Evans HD Dry on the snare, still the original Remo UT on the kick - haven't had the time to change to the EMAD clear I purchased / resos original Remo U[something] that came with the set).
