my tips for Tom Tuning - using a Pearl Masters Studio kit - Remo Ambassador heads

Here's my tips for Tuning Toms - how do you tune your toms??

Feel free to comment ...

in my studio I'm using..

Pearl Masters Studio drums (birch shells)
Sabian and Zildjian cymbals
my mixing console is an Amek Recall with Rupert Neve RN1 channels (30 of!)
MOTU DP11 software on a MacBook Pro

I'm using a tiny bit of reverb and some processing (you're also hearing my room thru the room mics), other than some gates and buss compression (MW 76 inside MOTU DP11) - and hardly any EQ - I'm trying to keep this as realistic as possible.. some gating

Mics
Snare BeyerDynamic m201 // Shure SM57 bottom
Kick - EV868
Hi Hats & Ride - OPR84 (openplanrecording)
Rack Tom - Heil PR30
Floor Tom - Sennheiser 441 (black)
Overheads - OpenPlanRecording - Grille Ribbon (standard) mics pair
Room Mics - AKG c414XLii pair

UAD Apollo 16 mkii


More about me.....I was in a band called "Paul Colman Trio" in the 2000's - we toured the USA, Europe and Australia for about 5 years...

Since then I've been recording - this is my home studio and I wanted to do some gear demos for you - everyone needs more gear demos! - I find them helpful when looking for new gear...
