The drum hut is Guy's main hang out in the band. In it
sits are prise $100 drum set. This thing is a real peace
of work and about the only good thing on it is the new dubble
base pettle. Behind Guy sits Wanker's big Deuce Peavey
amp. used as a moniter. It weights a ton, but that bastereds
a tuff motherphucker. And, of corse, the K-Mart window
fan... 'cuz we don't want Guy to start on fire.
For both micing and recording the drums, we have
a four peace Audio Technica drum mic kit. These mics really
pick up a nice sound and the recordings of the drums often sound
better than it's life sound.
The drums sit on a peace of carpit generously donated
by Paridice Guitar. As with many bands, our drums kept
moving around the floor, expecialy the base drum. When
we played at the Garage, we usualy drove two drywall screws
into the floor in front of the base drum to keep it from moving.
But at the shop, the floor is concreat. We had orignaly
tryed using a bunch cynderblock and old car battries.
It took 3 cynder blocks and 4 car battries to keep things still,
but the toms and hihats kept moving around. The carpit
has solved the problem.
The drum hut itself is constructed out of some
1x1" wood poles duct taped together. It alows us too hang
the overhead drums mics ('cuz we don't have any boom mic stands).
Durring recording, the structure is srounded in Styrofoam.
The Styrofoam helps kill the echo caused by the building as
well as mute the drums a bit. The biggest problem with
recording our drums is you can never tell if the levels of the
drums are right until play back. This is because you can
here both the raw sound of the drums as well as what the drum
mics pick up.
Here's
some more pictures of the drums. |
