Title: My band+ drum questions Post by: m_rated96 on October 02, 2008, 12:36:44 AM www.myspace.com/thinairmusic
Have a listen to my band! comments would be much appreciated - also, i kind of want a velvet revolver drum sound but have no clue about how to tune my drums/get a good sound out of them; recorded included.. i can just play them... any tips? i have a standard pearl export with you average white evans heads on them (fairly new), except some clear evans head on the snare.. as u can hear the drums are pretty lame sounding.. how should i tune them is my main quesion. i have O rings, but i dont particularly want to use them..

I use them to sort of avoid those tiny vibrations and get a "clearer" more presise sound. Not sure if I'm suggesting something here you allready know.... :-\ Keep it up, and like I said: GReat stuff, man!!

Might try it to be honest Moongel is ok but it can lead to your drums getting messy. Easier & cheaper alternative is to get a piece of A4 paper and some duck tape it to the top right of your snare. It's a nice money saver and you will hear the difference straight away! Title: Re: My band+ drum questions Post by: m_rated96 on October 12, 2008, 08:32:44 AM hmm yeah thats okay; i've tried it before, my snares okay i think, i tighten the shit out of it etc. I'm more worried about my bass drum and toms, esp my floor tom. sounds like shit; dont know how to get a good sound out of them
Title: Re: My band+ drum questions Post by: AdZ on October 15, 2008, 09:45:19 PM I think you should let your snare breathe more, and maybe put a mic on the front of the kick to get some sort of click out of it...

Title: Re: My band+ drum questions Post by: CaughtMeInaComa on October 23, 2008, 07:37:42 PM I've played drums for 18 years (off and on) and was never able to tune my drums at all, So I bought a Drum Dial for $60 bucks.
Now I can tune my Drums anytime. Simply lay the Dial on the drumhead over the lug and turn the key. It's that simple. I love it! Title: Re: My band+ drum questions Post by: m_rated96 on October 24, 2008, 12:32:50 AM no. freaking. way.
does it do the resonant head as well? also do u just pick a pitch and it will do it? do you sound amazing now. im going to totally get in on that. Thank you so much Title: Re: My band+ drum questions Post by: CaughtMeInaComa on October 25, 2008, 01:50:12 PM ^ Yes it does tune the resonant head. You can pick any pitch you want. It gives you a recommended setting for most Drums. But,
you can choose which ever pitch you want. Yeah, I sound like a professional Drum Tuner now. With This You can tune any Drum. Title: Re: My band+ drum questions Post by: m_rated96 on October 26, 2008, 08:59:21 PM you sound like an AD for DrumDial.
