Yamaha Stage Custom Birch Recording Session

Here's a track that I recorded on a recent session. It was written by my good friend Mark Peric and is called Immaculate Misconceptions. Mark plays all the other instruments on this track.

RAW AUDIO
Since my last video I've been asked to put something up with the raw drums sounds. Well here it is. At around 1 minute into this track the music fades leaving just the processed drums. At around 1.15, I bypass the processing and what your left listening to is the raw sound of the drums. For this session I didn't use any other preamps apart from the console (Neve Custom 75). At 1.30 the processing is re-activated and then the music comes back in at about 1.45. Hopefully you'll be able to hear the raw tone of these drums.

THE KIT
This kit is the new Yamaha Stage Custom Birch released in 2015. I am using slightly different sizes to the kit I used in my previous video. This kit has 10" 12" 14" toms, a 20" kick drum and a 14"x5.5" snare drum. I've used Remo clear Emperors on the toms, a PS3 on the kick and a coated Ambassador on the snare drum. This time I've used my own hardware (as opposed to the hardware package supplied with the kit). The cymbals are Paiste Twenty series 12" Hats and 10" splash, a dimensions 20" Dry Ride and 17" and 19" 2002 crashes.
