Also, I'm using my DW thin walled 6.5x14 with the FatHead to lower the pitch for that low Stan Lynch snare sound.

Cool!
Sounds good!

everything sounds great, including the cymbals. One story I never heard - you had a Crav set and sold it pretty quick, right? Did you know you wanted a different Crav kit when you sold the first one, or did you just miss it and realize you had to get another? What are the core differences between kits 1 and 2?

Your playing always impresses me as does your drum sound. Nicely done!

yes Dan very nice!!
Thanks. The first was a cherry kit and to me it had more of a vintage sound. I sold it to a DFO Bra. I prefer maple. Same sizes. 22/13/16avedisschwinn said:

Sounds nice. What's the status of the Johnny C snare you ordered?
Thanks. Just got it yesterday and set it up in my studio. Thing sounds great. Wide tuning range and very sensitive. Right now I'm digging a lower tuning. We'll see tonight since I rehearse with my funk rock band. I'll probably tune it higher.cochlea said:

As others have said, the drums and your playing sound great. Those hi-hats really jumped out for me though. Beautiful tick.

Dan - when you get some free time can you post a review of the Johnny C? I'm interested in the build quality (which I assume is superb) and the types of music it is best suited for since I've never had a chance to play a sold shell snare. Thanks!DanRH said:

Sounds good. My local music store has a nice Craviotto snare for around $950.00. A little steep but beautifully made.

Your mic choice, the graphics, the differences between backline and FOH is what makes your sound not a snare choice.
if it was as simple as snare selections the drummers world would be a nicer place to work.
I could make your 6.5x14 sound like a "popcorn" behind the board. If you have seperate "incerts" and can add an outboard drum graphic you can add to your sound but you can not isolate from the main boards graphic.
Vocal graphic points are often the culprit for a good drum sound, if your sound includes alot of midrange thats ok for toms and some snares but kills your bass and any depth your looking for. The difference between 100hz and 125 shouldn't be much but their night and day in different settings. Sometimes they work well together other rooms one or the other needs to be pulled down.
I can make the crappiest Kent kit sound top notch with good mics (shure 57s (akg D112) and 3 18" aside with 4 15" and a few 2" horns.
You'd think you were hearing a 5 grand kit! Unfortunately the best sounding kits are only needed for non mic situations.
Yes a quality shell makes it easier to mic but with soime time and knowledge a junker can sound fantastic. just think of the studio sets that sound awful until the play back comes on.
