A bit of fun with a track I wrote. After I was done recording it I thought it sounded like it belonged in a chase scene from the 70's. What better than The Driver from 1978?

I have a birch mapex kit from the early to mid nighty's and it makes me wonder if they are the same shells as they are Japanese made. I like them but they are power tom sizes and I want to cut them down, Sizes are 10x10,12x12,13x13,14x14,16x16 and 16x18. Do you like cast hoops and if so do you think it's worth doing the batter side and rest side.
I bet that kit sounds great! The shells are a bit deep for my taste too. What depth are you looking to cut them down to? Traditional sizes? 8x12, 9x13... For the toms I like triple flange 1.6mm hoops. The lighter the hoop the more resonance you get from the drum. With that said the Gretsch recipe is amazing with their die-cast hoops. It's difficult to know for sure what is going to work best with a set of shells. That's when ya gotta experiment. Which is one of my favorite things to do! Let me know how it goes. :)
LOVE the stories Brad!..great addition.👍 Sounds like we could both write a book.
Thank you! Would love to hear some of your stories!
Cool story! I wear a medium 😁
Thanks, Robbie! If I ever get back in the t-shirt game I'll send one your way! :)
You can get any snare to sound decent with good heads. Some drums have better hardware that will last longer and handle temperature fluctuations better. But a good drummer with a good touch is going to sound good with almost any snare drum. All of the drums in this video sounded very similar and quite good.
Thanks, Paul. I appreciate your thoughts. I agree with what you are saying and I would like to add to it a bit. Everything you said is true but there is a big difference in two areas between a poorly crafted snare and a high end snare -- how they feel when you are playing the drum, and what the microphone hears. They all have their own little something that makes them unique. When you find a snare that inspires you to play your best and it ends up sounding incredible on a track, then you know you've found your snare. :)
The bubinga sounds ringy, but perhaps that differs from drum to drum (same model), as there's probably variation in the wood. And those overtones might get absorbed by guitar/keyboard sounds in a full-band setting.
I agree. Most of the time when I'm mixing it's the overtones that give the track character. :)
Sounds like Don´t tell me you love me by Night Ranger sounds awesome !
@@Musikmusikmusik you are correct!
Good video. I understand you dont want to comment everything. An idea, perhaps adding timestamps in the video to highlight waht you r doing could be useful. For example , a timestamp when you remove the annoying frequence from the snare from all the mics,. compression ,...
Thank you for the suggestion! I need to watch some videos on how to do that. I know that longer videos like this one can be easier on the viewer by adding timestamps. Thanks again! :)
Wow Brad! I never expected you to devote an entire video to my tracks. Thank you so much for demonstrating your techniques and methodologies of getting the drums to sound like that. There are some “surgical” EQ maneuvers that I hadn’t thought of that I will try next time I do a recording. I do get that frequency around 290-ish on the snare out of there immediately haha. Your plug ins sound great. That “tambourine” sound you hear on the snare may be a drum key rattling on my accessory stand 😳. Definitely NOT supposed to be there. Thank you also for the shout out at the end. I appreciate that very much 🙂. I’ll be watching this a few times to pick up on some things for sure. Much respect and appreciation man, so very cool of you!
Ah the drum key hanging on the HH stand . Remember struggling like hell one day with similar problem , dismounting my toms and stands until i saw the drum key hanging on the stand.
Thanks again for sending me the files! Had a blast working on the mix! Your toms sound incredible! Everything else too but the toms just sound so incredibly musical and powerful. You have yourself one amazing kit there! :)
@@RecordingDrumsWithBrad thank you for the compliments and thanks again for all of your guidance and expertise!
Love your drum sounds
Thank you, Stuart! This kit belongs to Clint Carothers. :)
Your room sounds great and that always helps getting a great snare sound .
Thank you! For being a small bedroom it's pretty good. I still need to do something about the ceiling though. Soon. :)
This is a sound I've been looking for for so long. How do I achieve this? No one tunes like this nowadays and I have no idea where to start
Thank you! I'm a huge fan of the sound that a lot of drummers were getting in the 60's and early 70's. A lot of players still tuned there drums really high without any muffling. That, along with minimal miking, it allowed the drums to resonate and project tone for days. If you want this sound start by getting Remo Ambassador heads on the resonant and batter side. Tune them to the same pitch higher than you might think, where they are almost choked. That's a good start. :)
Nice groove, Kinda reminds me of Billy Squire.
Thank you!! Billy Squire was one of my favorites when I was growing up. Emotions in Motion is still one of my favorite songs. :)
That's been my adage for decades!😂😵💫 Those Tama's sound better and better with each video Brad!
Hahaha!! Love it! And thank you, I've been putting in a little more time with the kit. Out of all the kits I've owned this is the one that sounds the best to my ear. It's also a lot of fun to play! :)
This track is excellent.
Thank you!! It was a fun one to record! :)
Combining a die-cast hoop with an 8-tension snare is a great idea. What kind of snare wire are you using?
Thank you! I had the die-cast hoop on another snare and decided to try it on this one. I really like how it sounds on the Swingstar. The snare wires don't have a name on them so they are probably from an inexpensive snare. I plan on trying something a bit better soon. :)
@@RecordingDrumsWithBrad Thank you. I use the same snare with 42 strand snare wires. It's very aggressive and I like it. Please give it a try.
I watch your videos every day. Paiste and tama drum are my favorites too!
Thank you!! Both companies make incredible instruments!! :)
Do you write and play the string parts, too?
Hi Joshua! Yep, I write and record all the parts. Stuff like this I like to write on guitar and bass. I write a lot of stuff on keyboard too but it's a completely different style of music. I'm definitely a drummer first though. :)
@@RecordingDrumsWithBrad very cool.
Awesome, clean recordings Brad!
❤
Thank you!! :)
Hope ya feel better soon Brad, Music is just noise without your health..👍 🤒🤧
Thank you! Starting to feel a bit better. Health is paramount. :)
cool one!!! sounds very 90's punk-grunge..... I think this idea asks to be explored. 👍 (was that the Tama snare?)
Thank you, Marco!! I've got a few new ideas for it. Gonna be a fun one! The snare is the Swingstar with the die-cast hoop on the batter side. :)
I like it man, Your on it.
Thank you! It's getting there. :)
Can I ask what heads did u put on? It sounds great!
Thank you! On the batter side I have a Remo Coated Ambassador and on the resonant side is a Remo Clear Snare Side. :)
@@RecordingDrumsWithBradThanks a lot pal, great job!
Sounds close to the Tama bell brass
Now that would be fun comparison video!!!
What snare, it sounds killer!
This is the 6.5x14 Tama Swingstar with a die-cast hoop on the batter side. I'm really starting to favor this snare!
@RecordingDrumsWithBrad steel shell snare drums are v ery underrated . Also, I need to get a 2002 24" crash. Used to have one, should have kept it.
Great sound. RUclips doesn't recognize my "like".
Hi! Thank you! They sometimes do that for some odd reason. :)
this is great, both the mic tips and the playing
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the video. Always nice to hear that it was helpful. :)
Huge!!! ❤
And a lot of fun to play!! :)
sounds great! Ocean's 11 on acid :) 👍
Hahaha!! It's definitely an odd one!
Sounds good my man.
Thank you kindly! :)
Sounds really badass!! I feel some Clutch-vibes oozin' from this tune!
I can hear that!! :)
Killer sounds Brad, this is my new favorite RUclips page!
Thank you, Zeke!!! That's awesome!! :)
Thats some hand tech to aspire too! snare sounds good but not the sound I expected, If I guessed I would think it was 6.5 wood. maybe it take a rimshot to heat that metalik clank
Totally! Probably the most versatile snare I own. Love that thing! :)
And that, IMO, is how a drum kit should sound. The sound of the toms is sublime and way, way superior to the sound produced with close mic'ing methods. If that's just from the camera mic then it's a good case of 'less is more'. Could listen to those all day. Fab. Beautiful. Thank you.
I agree! There is something very special about using less microphones on a kit that produces a really great and natural sound. Thanks for the comment and checking out the video! :)
Those drums always sounded good to me , especially the kick drum . I played several high end kits and own a Tama Star Walnut but the original Superstars have this character i always loved and preferred. I wish i owned a kit .
I had been wanting a Superstar kit forever. I used to look at all the Tama catalogs as a kid and dream about owning a kit one day. Now that I have one I wish that I would have bought one WAY sooner. Tama really knocked it out of the park with this series. With that said I'm now doing the same thing with the Star series -- dreaming about one day owning a kit. I don't really know too much about what Walnut sounds like but I do know they look amazing! :)
@@RecordingDrumsWithBrad The Star drums are a dream to play. The craftsmanship is of course , second to none. To me , the combination of hardware, special bearing edges and overall quality create a feel when you hit them that make you want to perfect your technique .They sing like one instrument and i have never played a better set of drums quality and feel wise. The sound of Walnut is punchy and round and well balanced, they record like a dream. Now that is said , the best sounding kit i have ever owned and played for me, was a Premier Signia Maple from the 90s.
Great my house is haunted now.
Hahaha!! :)
@@RecordingDrumsWithBrad Seriously though, great playing and great sound. New susbcriber.
@@mars_over Thank you! I sincerely appreciate it!! :)
Lmao, See ya in the hospital.
Haha! Ya never know with power tools!
3am? fell off the bed? even the rooster was asleep 🐓
Hahaha!!
Any room Mics?
I did not use a room mic for this one. :)
Now you're buggered Brad, when you want to channel your inner Travis Barker.. 🙃
Agreed. :)
Step #2…. Sand the edge to remove the burr.
Exactly! I used a file. Smooth, yes, smooth!
@@RecordingDrumsWithBrad Are those trophies for drumming???? Brad you’re so naive! 😂
Hahahaha!!!!
Both drums and Cymballs are crisp as.
Thank you! :)
cool! That 2nd half got intense. Here's one I really like to do around the kit. One hand per tom like u were doing. It kind of makes for this infinite waterall type sound. 🤘 RLRR LRLL LRLL RLRR (repeat)
I will definitely give that a go! Might take a bit to get it right. :)
nice , def enjoy your videos
Thank you, Eddie!
Question. Do you like recording with eq and compression or do you like to leave that for mixing.
I like to add eq and compression after. I very rarely commit anything to tape because I like to have the flexibility to change things later. :)
The ranch dressing of snare drums...pretty good on everything,
Hahaha!! Love that!!
Awesome sounds my friend. All around.
Thank you, Clint!! :)
Sounds alot more focused Brad, Snare side needs one as well, That'll really crisp it up.
I'll have to try that! This inexpensive snare is starting to get a little pricey!! Haha!! :)
Not to mention that is the best sounding bass drum too!!!
Very kind of you! Thank you!! :)
It's aluminium. End of story. All aluminium snares sound good.
This is the only aluminum snare I've recorded so I'll have to take your word for it. :)
Smooth drumming & great sounding kit. Also, guitarist sounds like The Edge from U2. Very nice!
Thank you, Zeke! That's a first! I've never been compared to The Edge for my guitar playing! I'm a huge fan of his! :)
