I have the Evans G1 now but I’m gonna switch it to an ambassador and see if it makes any difference. They are basically the same but I think that I have used ambassadors for so long on the snare that the Evans may just not sound ‘right’ to me. Good call on the snares, I’ve only used the ones that ca...

So my short PT journey has been really enlightening. I built a nice tracking / mix template and some custom key shortcuts that mirror my longtime Cubase / Logic ones. Came across some real head scratchers that seemed so simple in any other DAW but found a way around them and working through this stu...

That sounds awesome, I love James Brown and of course the drums sound great.

I have a Ludwig Supraphonic LM400 (the 5x14) that has S-hoops on top and bottom (because I rescued this snare from years of abuse) and Puresound snare wires. a hammered bronze 6.5x14 Ludwig (also S-Hoops because the originals were rusty when I got it - I think this started my love affair with S-Hoo...

They're all under the bed in the guest bedroom. I actually played the drums for the first time in 5 years this past weekend, got together with some old friends for a jam. I remembered what to do! So that was nice. My favorite is a 5x14 Grover, just sounds nice all around. There's also an acrolite, ...

I just finished helping a friend of mine set up his project studio. He's full on mid life crisis and has bought a ton of cheap and cool keyboards that he always wanted when he was younger. He's been in set up mode for like two years and when we got everything tested I MADE him play something on the ...

That’s hilarious, my other two snares are a black galaxy acrolite and a gretsch 14x8. The grestch I use the exact same way as you although im really not a fan of the fatback snare sound. I like a good crack but yes for a wood snare sound - that’s it for sure. The acrolite is my most recent acquisiti...

After years of buying and selling I am down to two go to snares and two extras. Dunnett 14x6.5 Canary Wood Snare - this is my desert island snare. It sounds like, what in my head is, the perfect snare; articulate, sensitive, but with some body and a killer rim shot. It records a bit thinner than it ...

from the first snare hit you knew immediately if he recorded it. I posted this on the Electrical board earlier: Many years ago, my girlfriend picks me up in her car. She's listening to The Wedding Present. I've never heard them. 20 seconds in I say "damn, this sounds really good!" 10 seconds after ...

I don’t notice a huge difference between the two in response. You lose some high end on both really, to me. I def don’t hear a big uptick at 8k. If it’s that loud I don’t know if 25 is too much. I have a set of Vic firth drum phones and they are also supposed to be around 25 dbs. I can play drums wi...

Loud drummer here: I haven’t used the generic, but like 15 years ago I got my first set of custom molded and I used those for like 10 years. I bought a second set to replace those when they finally got too hard to be comfortable. I have all three filters at this point. 25 is a lot, but I’ve used the...

It’s funny, I do my tracks left to right, drums, bass, keys, gts, vox, (groups are the same color) then EFX. Starting in cubase I think IIRC I just did the colors left to right based on their color selector. Drums - orange Bass - green Keys - yellow Guitars - blue (shades for el, ac, and sometimes t...

I just saw this on Reddit. Wow, he was too young to die of a heart attack. I did not expect to see this today.

He did a bunch of the Louisville bands, notably Slint and Crain. He claimed to not impart a sound but from the first snare hit you knew immediately if he recorded it.

Yep, it's actually a very old studio trick going back to the heady days of Radio dominance, the 1970s. I still have a pair here somewhere, but am not sure if they work anymore. I am enjoying my CLA-10a's too much to go looking for the Auratones LOL. I had looked at those pretty seriously, I’ve neve...

I usually set Preferences/Display to Tracks and MIDI Devices and Track Color then I can group drums as one color, guitars another, bass another, etc. It really helps when you are looking at a bunch of track and trying to find somethings... I don't think there is any standard though so I just have m...
