Hi NeuroAxis,
And btw, if you recognize the china it's an 18" Z Custom, which you are one of the only pros I know of that uses one despite the fact that it's the Best China Ever!
Good use of an override in 6/8 - one I've used myself many times....and the china sounds just right to me.
Hi Joe P,
I have 2 questions... Firstly, why do you use the Sonor Bass Resonant Head? I ask this because many pro drummers like to replace the bass reso head. Is it because Sonor has good stock bass heads?
It's a good Remo head.
Also, how do you tune your bass drum? Tension-wise and in comparison to the batter and resonant heads [do you tune one higher than the other?]
I would say they are about the same tension - but there's a heavy pillow in there so it's not easy to hear any difference in tuning.
Hi dairyairman,
saw that you were voted #1 progressive drummer in their 2008 reader's poll
Thanks - it got mentioned here a few months back when some folks in the industry already knew about it (including myself). I'm of course very happy - and suprised that I got it again!!
Hi Prozakc,
So, what advice would you give me, at "tuning time" ... and what are the "secrets" of your sound, meaning techniques for licking ( I saw you using bass drum "tunnels" on a couple of videos), miking techniques in general, Muffling secrets, and editing/post-production tips and everything about your sound and the techniques you use for it, at studio and gigs.
Do you mean techniques for miking? Also I don't remember using bass drum "tunnels" on any videos - which videos are you referring to?. If you make a search on this thread you will find a lot of information how I tune, mic the drums, head choice and mufffle etc.
Is there any chance for us to be seeing you touring South America with KC, or it´s absolutely out of the question ? ..
At the moment there are no plans for KC to tour South America...and I'm not the person who would decide where we tour either. KC information usually comes from www.dgmlive.com
Cheers
