Country Studio Drum Test

I know this guy and he plays drums quite well.

so I had him come out to some friends of mine house that live in the country who have graciously let me set up a recording studio in the living room and dining room area.  Nothing major currently, but we do have 8 tracks at one time and a decent room with
lots of music toys in it.  It is way fun (and it is our practice space for Owl People too).  He has a killer set too, it is keller shells that he refinished, and a 24" bassdrum.  The kid hits hard too.



Below are two drum tracks we cut as a test.  They are just for fun.  I used four mics- an NT1A over head (6’ high), a kick (D112) and snare (57) mic, and a pro 37 6’ in front of the kit, slightly to the ride side.  I used my MOTU press for the condensors, and used my SX 202 preamp for the kick and snare (and it fattened both up like the chickens that run around outside this house). The room has very little standings waves, and the tall ceilings are slanted.
