Happy Crappy Drums
Posted Monday, November 30th, 2009 by Jason
Joe … I say this with the utmost of love … thanks for helping us out but your drum kit is a turd.
Actually I thank you from the top of my heart … your crappy drums have lead to days and now weeks of testing, tweaking and trial and erroring, eq’ing and leveling.
Your broken down trash can kit has made me a better man and my wife thanks you … Also your mom says thanks for finally getting the eyesores out of her garage.
Enough joking … It’s sorta hard to explain and show all of the experience I’ve gained with the tracking that was done with Joe’s drums. I have learned a great deal from the experience and am truly grateful.
I’ve tried to boil it all down into this little demonstration … listen to each file and see if you can guess what was done to each track.
Here are your choices …
1) mixed only using levels and pan 2) mixed using SSL preset levels and panning
3)mixed using the eq guide by Cliff Goldmacher at Audio Fanzine 4) nothing, just raw tracks

Now I’m sure you’ve listened to each track at least three times … here are your answers.
This is just a bit of insight into what I do with some of my spare time. You can also hear these same drums on the Fatlock artists page.
~ thanks & enjoy
