I'm currently using Tama imperialstars (poplar) with 45 degree bearing edges that are pretty decent.
what i have noticed is that what sounds like ample sustain from the driver seat
almost always doesn't translate....especially in recordings and further than 10 feet away from the kit...all that roundness I hear from behind the kit is just gone and they are sounding dead everywhere except from where I sit they sound perfect?
I am decent at tuning and right now I have evans ec2's over remo ambassadors all clear. Sounds is really good round and focused...but recording they are dead...and more than 10 feet away they are dead...is this normal?
What I want to know is if just changing out the reso's to something like clear G-plus
would make good enough difference or If I should go more drastic and go with something like clear ambassadors all 'round or coated ambassadors all 'round?
wondering what I could expect from clear gplus top and bottom as well.
I have used coated emps before and they have more sustain for sure but i want to go a lil 'over the top' so that they sound crisp but deep and round from like 20' away so thinking of going clear for that crispier attack
thanks I'm shooting for the tone in them Guru toms....LOL
