Drums and your environment

[jksuperstar]

Damn cool video of drumming in various environments. As an experiment (in adding no reverb).

beautiful!

this shows EXACTLY why it's so important to do something about the room. this also shows the futility of trying to get a specific sound in the wrong environment.

As long as no trains, cars or Skaters come along.

There's a guy in town who is really motivated, he's a young upcoming DJ who has Snare and Kick samples of various ambiences from dry concrete Flood ways, Tunnels, sand dunes, you name it, and I heard the guy a few weeks back at a club and his stuff has all of the kids excited, as where ever he goes he draws big time.

He tends to mix the drums a little hot IMHO, but I could actually hear the natural reflections.
Uses an H4 Zoom then transfers to the MPC with no FX, except a rare Reverb, which he uses so sparsely that everyone notices it.

This is how we did back in the era of the Emulator II. Bathtub Snare, Sewer Kicks, etc.
I was actually re motivated after hearing this guy, for about 9 or 10 hours before slipping back into dairyland...
