as with all instruments, there are many "colors". different hoops, head/no head, brass, nickel, other jingles.... best thing I could offer is go to a store and pick up a couple and buy at least 2 different flavors. I have a cheap plastic (doubel row) and a wooden-hooped single row. different sounds...

I searched but didn't see any specific cases of anyone replacing tubes in an Art Digital MPA (the gold face 2U mic preamp). Has anyone done this and would you please share which specific tubes you tried, liked, disliked? I have the stock chinese (labels say 12ax7a and china only) and not really happ...

I have a few short On Stage booms that I absolutely love. The ones with the small tripod-shaped weighted bottoms. actually I have both the Onstage and the Musician's Fiend brand and the Onstage, while still cheap caca, are magnitudes better than the MF brand. But the MF brand were extremely cheap s...

eBay has suddenly gone millitant on postings with multiple brand names. I had one pulled the other week becasue I used "xxxxx Like yyyyy" in the title, and even though EVERYONE does this apparently its not allowed so they totally DELETE it (won't even let you edit it and repost it). But at least the...

<<In response to which 60's vibe, well, I should say more Ringo than Ginger Baker, for example. >> Hmm... "The End" Ringo and "Ticket to Ride" Ringo had kinda different sounds. TTR was more of that "open" Remo Ambassador (single-ply coated head) sound, where as I hear "The End" and "Come Together" a...

1. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
2. Weezer - Blue Album
3. Webb Wilder - Town & Country

honorable mention goes to:

Sandy Nelson - Let There Be Drums

in no particular order and if you ask me again in 5 minutes it will probably be different.

I have some of the short version. About 10% arrived with some sort of damage, but MF is good about replacing (and they are so cheap that they don't require sending them back--more than the freight). They are OK if you set them in the studio and rarely move them (like the ones on my drums) but would ...

golly, I almost forgot about this one: http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Temptress/ (the band) http://artists.iuma.com/site-bin/streammp3.m3u?92550 (the song) http://artists.iuma.com/site-bin/mp3gen/1031/IUMA/Bands/Temptress/audio/Temptress_-_Youre_A_Mean_One_Mr._Grinch.mp3 (or you can download it ...

maybe need to check what the line levels you are using? The digi 001 has different levels for pair 1-2 (+4dB) vs 3 to 8 (-10dB). What is the spec of the outboard equipment you are using? digi specs are here:

I agree with you on the D6. I use one live with a jazz band and another at home in the studio on everthing else and in between. even sold my AKG D112. I also picked up an i5 recently and like it a lot too. Seems a bit brighter than the 57 and I've only tried it on snare so far.

i've been plugging my bass in direct to my Trakmaster Pro also. with the compressor engaged a bit, it sounds pretty good. Haven't really got a chance to try vocals with it yet. I did record some Trumpet & Trombone (with an Audix D3) and it also came out nice.

so when the drummer gave clicks on the claveys he could feel the rhythm. and he nailed it. may have also been a visual thing for the guitar player--assuming they could see each other--maybe he's more comfortable with "conducting" then the click. I know I've played live gigs before where I had to lo...

off the top of my head

Webb Wilder's Town & Country and Doo Dad. The latest (About Time) is pretty good too. I really dig the mix (R.S. Field, "the Ionizer").

I always thought that the King's X "Faith, Hope, Love" sounded good too. Everything is very clear.

Dave Brubeck's "Time Out". cool.

is that the same guy that had 16 PM1000 modules on eBay over the last 5 months?

do I dare mention the power harness on the digi 002R (hit me in the first 2 days I had it...)?
