I meant to quote "this" in my previous post. As concerns Stevie Vai, I'm no hater. I agree mostly with the guy from psychodelphia.

I've got the plate mounted and stretched in a frame. This one has elements from earlier posts and other sources... I'm going to start with the $19 ghost purchased from ebay as the driver and the nice $50 EMT upgrade pickups from JCC & Associates . I can replace the ghost if need be. I'm thinking of ...

Awesome work here. The outtake is cool. It supports and reinforces the sound themes working in the song. It would do a lot towards creating a cohesive sound for the record and ultimately the band. I am curious about those sounds and how they were created. Do share.

This one has a link to TapeOp, must be a member... http://www.hometracked.com/ This one has a lot on microphones.
