Hey guys. I have just joined here, so first off wanted to say hi. I have been showed this site time and time again by many of my drummer friends and only now have I finally signed up. Madness...But at least I'm on here now.
I am posting with regards drum skins and drum sound.
I am going into the studio to record within the next couple of weeks or so and want to experiment with some skins to get my ultimate sound. I am recording on my bands debut album and want this to be the very best piece of work I have done to date!
I would love to hear people opinions on how they think i can achieve my ultimate sound. Which is to me, as best as I can describe...
Fat, Rock, deep, controlled, not over sustaining, but not choked in an instant, clear not muffled.
It is to record Electro Rock music. If you would like to get an idea of the sounds I am recording, please visit my bands myspace at myspace.com/mypreserver. please note that these are just poor demos with me playing only on the first two tracks.
My equipment is as follows:
1996 Maple Drum Workshop. Rogers Dynasonic 14" by I think 5.5" metal tin snare.
Bass is 22", plus 10, 12, 14 and 16" toms.
I currently use clear Remo Pinstripes and a Remo controlled dot coated head on the snare. I have a power stroke 3 on the bass drum and would like to improve the resonant head which is a standard DW skin on the front. I also have an ambassador 2 ply on the bottom of the floor tom to get a slightly more controlled fatter floor tom sound.
Please give me your advice on things to try, opinions, tear my current set up apart, but please make it constructive as I really want to learn how i can improve my sound.
Thanks for your time
