fun with the thrift store household goods section

Post by syrupcore » Tue Nov 01, 2005 11:12 am

Man, I had so much fun. a plastic fish bowl, metal trash can, pickle bucket, strange stiff purse thing, glass pitcher and one of those ridged hollow fish things.

after an afternoon of irritating my neighbors, I had this drum track:

it's all pretty 'as recorded'. there's a second compressed bus underneath. I had two kicks going on (one pop, one thump) and my timing sucks so I gated the thumb one via sidechain from the pop one. here's a pic of the kicks. the plastic fish bowl is the new 909. http://luktown.org/random/drums_small.JPG

Best time I've had recording in a long while. I highly encourage this sort of behavior.

The pic doesn't work (too bad, I'd love to see it) - otherwise this sounds awesome. What junk makes which sound?

thanks king kong. I edited the post so the pic works. sorry about that.

in the picture, the white makeup thing on the top left is the pop kick and the fishbowl is the boomy one. under the white thing is the top of the trashcan (snare) and to the right is the pickle bucket which was most of the rest. there also the sorta ringy percussion sound that comes from some shure mic placed in a hat inside a glass pitcher tapped with a lighter or something.

pretty cool sounding. i have been toying with the idea of doing my own percussion on songs. even if it is a drumstick on god knows what.
