Matt.Hepworth Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 I just started recording a project with a good drummer and a nice kit. Unfortunately, I'm no drummer, and he's no expert tuner. I've had my experience tuning snares, but toms are beyond me. We are looking for that big smacky, gooey, deep tom sound like the samples on all the modern recordings (Prime sth, for example). Problem is he plays on a birch Starclassic FUSION kit. If I could get close to the same punch (maybe not deepness) with tunings, or heads, or both, I'd be VERY happy. Any help you can give would be great. Thanks! Matt No clever saying. No matter how good something is, there will always be someone blasting away on a forum somewhere about how much they hate it.

felix stein Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 I would go for heavier heads...I bet the stockers are still on the kit. felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Hepworth Posted September 12, 2001 Author Share Posted September 12, 2001 Currently, the kit is topped with pinstripes. Thanks. Matt No clever saying.

felix stein Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 Those are pretty heavy. Hmmmmmmmm. Too bad...sounds like you have some signal processing to do. Maybe run your reverb in a spare channel and bump up the "lows". felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernDrummer Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 Well, just as a possible suggestion, you might want to try Ebony Pinstripes. Or perhaps coated Pinstripes. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif If you always do what you've always done, you'll always have what you've always had.

felix stein Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 maybe I should explain a little more. Take a line out bus all the tracks/toms in question to another channel where one can eq the verb only. Well if you have pins on the top...I would suggest a heavier bottom head. You will figure it out. Some people believe that small drums record "bigger" than big drums anyways if you have them happening. felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to listen to some of these demo's, and unfortunately some of them don't play. Do you know how to get hold of this guy, or doe's he have a webite/e-mail to try to get the rest of the demo's? ------------------ Thanks and God Bless! Y.B.I.C. Bill Thanks and God Bless! Y.B.I.C.
