TAMA Starclassic Walnut/Birch - Sound Test | Markos Vassiliou

A really expressive drum set that inspires me to practice more drums! Outfitted with a Yamaha MCA snare, Evans & Remo heads, Zildjian & Zultan cymbals, this is how I like the drums to be tuned. We are still getting to know each other.

It is recommended to listen with good quality headphones/sound system.

MIX:

I tried to keep the drum sound as organic as possible.
Toms and overheads have not been touched, they have only been panned and bounced out RAW.
Bass drum has just a little EQ, Gate, and compression.
Snare has a little EQ and compression on both mics.
