Been working on recording a new track for an artist and friend I have been working with for the past year or so and he is attached to a scratch drum track he laid on the demo (which is cool, it had some solid parts)........he fell in love with some classic double handed 16ths and wanted them...

Interesting.......for my 12/16/22 walnut kit that I record with I typically have my 12" at 108hz and the 16" at 70 hz.........admittedly that is a more blues rock deep low tom sound which works for much of what I do.

Loved it......well done!!!!

For live sound or recorded?

No I am suggesting that highly auto-tuned laptop creations that dominate the pop charts isn't necessarily what they expect to see or hear when they go to a bar with a band. I wouldn't read into it any more than that. And I listen to plenty of stuff while working out that I have zero interest...

There is also a difference between what someone wants to stream in their car, work cube, gym etc. and what they would want to see played live at a bar/function etc. Of course they would have a great time with just a DJ as we all know as well. Taylor......I used to despise her back in the "I'm...

I enjoyed the vid per usual yesterday. The kicks sounded "decent" to me and the toms sounded fine as well. The Gretsch sounded the best to me overall but perhaps I stopped listening a tad. The Tama did sound the most "modern" in that it sounds like you would expect from a Starclassic....... I...

I looked around for something to spend wistfully on and found northing that motivated me....... I would have picked up heads or sticks or a cajon etc but......the deals were "meh" at best. Even Sweetwater was "meh".....

Purchased both in person and online, nothing but a good experience with them. They are local to me as I live in New Hampshire, they are clearly a trusted place.

This is my current setup that I record with and I have a solid pile of others available to me, but this works for much of what I do: 22" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride 20" Sabian HHX Complex Thin Crash 18".Sabian HHX Complex Thin Crash (I also do have 3 splashes from 6-12" in my setup)

Only $10K used........ it's good to be king I guess.

Alex has such a classic straight ahead 90s era country voice.......it does well with Nashville production etc. Really well done..... Classic drumming as well......Martin, does Alex use you and his live band in the studio?

It is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.......if for you, it is worth the price of admission, awesome, knock yourself out. If there is some specific mojo that a Crav kit has for you that inspires you to play......even better.

What have you encountered for kits at these venues? Anything noteworthy or pleasantly surprising?

IMHO a competently built maple kit will sound great paired with the right heads and hardware......once that is done, it is very hard to justify the additional expense of some of the highest priced boutique kits from a sound perspective. So if you are someone that puts sound above all else, I...
