That is the most well tuned kit I’ve ever heard in my life
@paisteuser064 жыл бұрын
Your kit can sound super tuned up too. Trust your ears and use quality heads appropriate for the kind of music you play. You don't need top of the line shells to get the good tones. Let the heads breathe and don't choke them off. Cheers.

You can hear through the years the progression of his drum recordings. Started out very focused and dry, like in the Rhythmic Horizons videos. Switched to using condensers on the toms and sounds like he upped in the mix the reverb mics in that big hall room in front of him. I hear the whole set now as more of a singular instrument rather than a collection of beautifully tuned drums and cymbals, as much as I loved the dry sound too.

I could listen to this guy all day. He is so musical. Even his simplest single stokes on the dotted eight notes up and down on his toms, I mean, this is something literally anyone who understands rhythmic division could do accurately, even if they have never played drums in their lives, but somehow he does them, and its SO in the pocket! It doesn't hurt that those drums sound so amazing, responsive and well tuned, of course - but he'd probably be just as amazing on some upturned empty buckets and trashcan lids.

Technique notwithstanding, his sense of phrasing is shockingly good. He plays out an idea, and it literally shocks you. In a count of 4 you get the start, the heart and conclusion of a thought, which seamlessly and musically ties in with the next. It all just flows, like water. It’s no wonder that he ended up with King Crimson. Jack DeJohnette is like that; I always said his drumming sounds like the ocean. And lastly, Gavin does all this eloquent and powerful stuff with BIG drumsticks; I own a pair and they are serious wood.

Very tasteful grooves. Played with a level of professionalism so that the subtleties of tones can be heard, the ghost notes the splashes, the fills. Many drummers don’t realize the higher the volume level of playing the more the tone and dynamics are lost. When the music 🎶 calls for it yes your volume and playing will- should be matched to the mix. But a solo in the studio I think should showcase a drummers musicality 👍 well done.
