From the recording sessions for our album last spring, at RadioStar Studios in California:
I bet! It's a virgin.That 14x24" is probably my favorite kick of all.

That diamond electric drum you have for your TD9's snare is sexy. And almost a mirror image of my own.
Eric, have you split a channel or two for the e-kit? That looks like more triggers than what is normally available. Cy5 + cowbell into aux channel? And the dual kd8's must require a splitter too...? And do you play open lefty? (rides above the hats)
What kind of brand is that? They look nice.
From an Al session, these can be heard on "If That Isn't Love" and "Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me" on Alpocalypse (drops June 21, 2011.)
Note the miking on the toms: just inside the bottom, not way up in the drum or from the top. This gives a full, rich sound, not the dry, bangy sound for which concert toms were given such a bad rep back in the day. And just an inch up or down makes a difference,the sweet spot is where you see them in the top pic.
Those toms and the kick sound fabulous. Only the 15" (3rd) tom needed a little EQ, the other toms were unretouched. That 14x24" is probably my favorite kick of all.

OMG, I'm in love! I used to want an Octoplus kit SOOOOooooo bad. Now I'm not so interested in the double bass, but those concert toms...
