Messin around in The Loft

Really digging the wide open snare sound you’re getting on this mix. (Playing is superior as always too!)

[@ChrisBakerDrummer]

tight! love that snare sound, too

[@bbfoto7248]

Ha! I was thinking the exact opposite. :p The snare seemed at least 6dB too hot in the mix and more like wacking a timbale. IMO it was a bit overbearing and annoying. I didn't hear any of the *snares/wire buzz* :/ I would probably just mic the bottom of the snare drum in this scenario and let my overheads fill in the rest. Play this same exact track, but with a low tuned, Big Fat Snare sound and I'd be grinning ear to ear. Horses for courses & different strokes for different folks I guess. ;) *Great jam tho', Nick* !!! Do you mind sharing your *Cymbal Setup* (L to R from your POV)?

Completely sick.

[@mannys1930]

This sounds great. Aja outro at 1:02. Ha ha.. JK... But seriously, the half time 6 or 3 flam thing at the top is especially cool..

[@nickbuda]

Thanks so much Manny.. I'm a huge Gadd fan so his stuff finds its way into a lot that I do.

@@nickbuda Hey there. Thanks for replying. And sorry I'm so late to hear you, I'm stuck in the 70's ha ha.. We actually have a mutual friend in Kenny's bass player. When you talk to her you can tell her Mo Roberts says hello :-). Best to you, you sound great.

[@nickbuda]

@@mannys1930 Oh man.. Harm is so great! I'll definitely do it. And thanks again!

[@bobevansdrumheadstales5469]

I thought the exact same thing when I heard that. The kick pattern is a little different but equally as cool.

[@KeelanOHara]

Sounds so good and your playing is rock solid. What are you using for room mics?

[@nickbuda]

Thanks so much Keelan. I mostly use the Avantone CR14 ribbon mics.

[@KeelanOHara]

​@@nickbuda Right on. They sound great!

[@ddrummer1821]

wow scary

[@Brento44]

Awesome! What heads are you rocking on the kick?

[@nickbuda]

Thanks man.. I use Evans EQ4 on the batter side and a resonant head on the front

[@sagilangford3888]

is it the snare you gave me? p.s you are a grate drummer!

[@nickbuda]

Thanks Sagi.. Sorry this reply is so late. That is not the snare I gave you.. but I hope you're still using it!
