Dual Mark IV cliipage

Post by Tommy Eisen »

Recorded this song live in the Studio with my Mark IV short and long heads running in Class A Triode Tweed Power in the same room as the drums. Pretty Awesome tones for being at whipser volume.

Well I'm a drummer mainly, so I'm always critical of the drums haha.

To me the cymbals and kick sound great, but the snare is bland and flat sounding, and the toms are as well. Almost sound like they aren't tuned correctly.

Also the playing (timing) in the initial slow section leaves something to be desired. Drums are one of those instruments where poor playing just sounds bad no matter how good the equipment is.

Yeah, this kid is 16, I'm pretty sure he fucked up the drum tuning right before we started. When I do a session though I just let the drummer do his thing with the tuning, but yeah I do hear that too. Oh well it's his 7".
