    I love Blair, his style and his sound, I discovered him on some Alanis albums, "So Called Chaos" (I think) and the anniversary acoustic version of "Jagged Little Pill", after years, I find him on this channel and always providing valuable content. Very grateful to see him in the studio

    I REALLY like the sound from: Beyer M201 or Telefunken M80 + an SDC that can take the SPL, plus a mid sized or LDC on the bottom - I currently like my Audio Technica 3525 there. But also depends on the drum/song/ vibe. Also use Audix i5, modded SM57 and SE Electronics V7x - thanks for this replay Warren! Blair is such a great dude!! 🤘🏻

    @tidalwavestudio 7 дней назад +11

    for those who love the m201, it has a fantastic smaller brother, the m420n, that sounds pretty much the same, but takes half the space, which really helps in tight drum setups. It has become my top snaremic 90% of the time

  • @TheNoladrummer
    @TheNoladrummer 7 дней назад +8

    I noticed that you played each drum differently, reacting subconsciously to the sounds and stick-feels it was giving you. The switch to the drier, thinner hats completely changed what you were playing and how. I think that’s why we keep acquiring new gear - each one unlocks something different in our creative minds.

    This was a great video about choosing the right instrument for the job. I would probably retitle the video as such- it's not bad, nor am I complaining, but I was expecting to watch a video with maybe a trick or two to pick up about EQ'ing or any sort of mixing tricks, but this was purely a video about choosing the right gear for the job and less so about getting, "massive drum sounds"

    to me your drums do not sound good there to frappy and are not concise this is new school i know there have been drummers through out the years who tune like this but not very many who were real successful all the really successful drummers like Steve gad Dave wekel Simon Philips David Garibaldi etc do not tune like this its sounds terrible dead no life all that ring and dull percussion does not sound very percussive im sorry i know you must like it but its horrible to me

      Really? Such a great drum tone, it;s a completely different genre, Steve Gadd would have chosen something right for the song I'm sure and certainly would have been respectful

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  4 дня назад

      Each genre/song requires its own unique drum sound. Steve Gadd is a monster and so is Hal Blaine and Jim Keltner, all completely different drummers who created completely different drum sounds.
