I bought a drum macking by ZOOM for only $100 and it sounds amazing. It has tons of different drum sounds to pick from. Some sound very realistic. There is also more electronic sounding drums on there too. You can also program bass lines with it.

Anyway, I've been experiment with a couple of different mic placements, like placing the mic inside the kick drum about...

Thats awesome I love Don Zientara's recordings. What's it like working there/with him?
