Despite completely different mics, drums, room and most importantly drummer (probably the biggest variable) it is SO impressive that you got this sound. You obviously know your stuff.

Wow I was impressed with the 57. I’d say the 57 with no EQ was as close as one could get.

Great vid, thanks for this

[@VermontPrepper]

Awesome video. Do u happen to have front and rear tunebot settings for the tuning? Also, I notice that you have a hole in the res head of the bass. Do you put a reinforcement on the front, and if so, does it affect the tuning? To me I can't get the head to be consistent on all the lugs.

That is not the same beat Your missing a double kick at the beginning

[@deolse]

Wrong, its because of the echo it sounds like two hits on the kick. Its played correct.
