Did a session for a guy last night whom I've done some acoustic drum work for in the past. He'd heard the stuff I'd done with my band on the V's, and asked me to track some songs on the V's for his current project.
In short, he was blown away! I ran all electronic drums w/acoustic cymbals, and the guy was just in love with the sounds. In the time it would take to just place the mic & check it on the snare drum, we'd tried out about a dozen different snares, with tunings, head changes, shell changes, mic changes, etc.
Of note, he also thinks the kick is the best thing he's ever heard. The kick was:
Wood 1
Shell Depth = deep
Head = clear
Tuning = 0
Muffling = weight
EQ = high shelf +3dB @ 5Khz
Mic = Dynamic 1, normal position
That's just my standard kick, but you'd have thought it was the second coming by his reaction.
Ya gotta love making believers outta people.
