A friend's band did a record at the Powerstation in NYC in the early 90's. The drums had massive room tone; I asked what processing they used. Turns out they had mics placed at the ceiling. So yeah, BIG room. Low tuning. Hit hard. Gate accordingly.

LOVE Big Beats! Less bright, with a great wash. Different sticks/tips bring out different overtones. I use a combo of red label 2002's and BB's.

Thanks for the kind words! Just got into a new spot for practice, first time being able to set my kit up in a couple months. Decided to mess around with 2up/2down again, and pull the 14" hats out. Of course my OCD is bugging me to change the lugs on my 13" rack. I'm telling myself to wait...

I have a single. It replaced a first-generation Iron Cobra Roller Glide, which is a slightly updated version of my fave pedal BITD, a Tama Camco. I have to say, this is the coolest pedal I've ever played! I really appreciate all the adjustability. I have the cam adjustment set for 1:1 ala...

I was given a handful of songs to learn for a guitar trio, and this was the first tune I had to learn (having just got back into drums a year and a half ago, after a 20-something year hiatus, and buying my first kit since high school!) I had never attempted this kind of feel, and the guitarist...
