So now I have some extra cashflow.
So my dad showed me this friends house today. One of those dudes that collects rare and vintage drums but doesn't really play much. Whatever, to each his own. Well I really loved the sound of his vistalite kit with concert toms. And that's that really natural boomy sound I'd like when I get cash for recording gear (and of course I liked their live sound)
But here's the thing: I've heard recorded acrylic drums only once before I believe, and it was The Brown Album by Primus. And I remember reading that they left the drums to their really natural sound, which I dig and is my desirerd future recorded sound.
I've only recorded my drums once and it was only for a short time, and the other time I had them done pro. So I don't have much recording experience which is why I'm asking you guys: I like the sound of them, but would they really sound good recorded with your average workhorse mics and equipment? And would the concrt toms sound way different recorded than the regular 2-headed acrylic toms?
Just thinking ahead a little bit, so I can start looking at Craigslist and Ebay and all that.
Oh yeah and I know there's a whole bunch of little differences in series' and badges and thing with ludwig drums, is there a specific type that was superior?
Can't believe I typed that.
