kit is a craviotto solid cherry 20, 12, 14. coated evans heads top and bottom.

bass drum wide open nothing inside, solid front head. toms have a little muffling from a snare weight and these awesome dampeners from a company called tandem drums.

cymbals are paiste masters thin crash ride, a 2002 big beat crash ride and a pair of 16" paiste standard ludwigs for hats.

snares are craviotto 6x14 solid maple, 5x14 pewter and my keplinger 7x14 so far.

using very few mics, printing more than i'll probably use on this project.

kick has an EV ND68 pointed at the front bass drum head going into a CAPI VP25 and a little labs VOG

snare is an shure SM7 into a CAPI VP26 with an SPL transient designer and API 550 eq

overheads are AEA R88 stereo ribbon into chandler TG2 preamp and an audioscape DCOMP

i have clip on sennheisser 602 mics on each tom going into shadow hills gamma preamps on the nickel setting

a stager SR1a large ribbon as an over all kit mic that is placed. low next to the kick drum pointed up at snare between the floor tom and rack tom. that is going into a capi VP25

and about 15ft out in the room in my hall between my stairway and bathroom, a single aston origin mic in figure 8 going into a CAPI VP26 and my spectrasonics 610 for a room/ambient tone.

recorded to LUNA with Apollo interfaces.

so far, just the R88 overheads with a little of the stager compressed blended in is working with the basic tracking. printing snare, kick and toms close mics just in case i need more punch or attack once we build these songs out more.
