This is just a little audio I threw together. Enjoy, and constructively criticise. :thumb:

I really like the snare drum sound, but the bass is pretty muffled. Maybe add some punch to it?

What recording gear do you have?

[krazydrummer121]

nice sounding, it was worth listening to

[DrummingBen]

I digged it. Agreed about the bass as well. Specs on the cymbals and snare?

[Sabian4015]

I have sm57's on snare and toms, AKG overhead, beta52 for bass drum. The snare is a 12x7 BP. Let's see...around the kit I have:

10" Avedis Splash
14" Xs20 Hats
17" AAX Crash
14" HHX Crash
20" K Heavy Ride
18" AA Thin Crash
18" Wuhan China
16" Xs20 Crash

Mapex Pro M set

Those Xs20 hats really aren't bad. My school has a pair, and they sound pretty good. Good playing, I dug it!

[Sabian4015]

^^^ yea they are really crisp for being from a budget-friendly line of cymbals. I love them and don't plan on upgrading.

[Zildjian]

wow those hats sounds really nice...



EDIT: Xs20's?!?!? wow, I had no idea....Must be your good recording equipment :P

[TravisBarkerrules]

Loved it.

[Sabian4015]

Suprising, huh zildjian?

Man I just listened to the track on purevolume and for some reason the player made my toms sound like straight ****. It sounds fine when I play it through iTunes. I don't what the deal is, but my toms don't sound so dead really.

[60 Hertz Jig]

Try hosting it on soundclick, perhaps.

I'm listening to it now, and I really love the sound of your drums, even if the toms do sound a little dead. Very nice playing, too!

[Chippy569]

turn the gain on your OH up, your cymbals are like 20 miles behind your snare.

and your kick needs EQUALIZATION, not volume changes.

[Sabian4015]

Alright thanks man. I just went back and messed around with the bass drum and it already sounds alot better. When I recorded this I didn't really mess with the EQ or anything, I just hit record and started playing.
