In the studio with Drummer/Producer Mike Avenaim (Emblem3/Scott Weiland).
What is the FullOnDrums.com "Session Report"? We'll be documenting actual sessions with some of the best drummers in the business. The quick behind the scene videos will get you up close and personal with the techniques that were used to capture the sounds for each song.
All the mics are going directly into the Trident 88 console. It’s a great sounding console and the EQ is simply amazing.
My favorite part of recording is that every session is an exploration of sound. The only goal should be capturing sounds that fit your music and evoke emotion for the listener. That’s it for this installment of Good Vibrations. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
In the studio with Jesper Kristensen (Wilson Philips). Check out the blog for complete details of the session as well as downloadable audio files.

For episode 34 we had the pleasure of working with the folks at Aphex Electronics. Best known for the Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, and Compeller, their wide range of mic pres are often overlooked. Jace Nuzback from Aphex brought over a gigantic rack, filled with every pre the company makes and Nick Adams (David Cook) joined us on drums.
Time to talk gear!
For an apples to apples comparison of the mic pres from Aphex, we used 4 of everything they make and recorded them back to back. (see photos below) 1 - A Pre 2 - J Pre 3 - Dual RPA 4 - Channel 5 - Project Channel
To keep things simple and make it easier to hear the difference between the pres, we used a simple 4 mic setup featuring an MXL A55 in the kick, an SM57 on the snare, and a pair of Audio Technica 4050's set to cardioid for overheads.
After having the day to experiment with everything, we put together a full blown setup based on what we liked the best from the first round. Here's the rundown:
Kick In: Channel - MXL A55 Kick Out: Project Channel - Audio Technica 4047MP set to cardioid Snare Top: Project Channel - SM57 Snare Bottom: A Pre 500 - Audio Technica AE3000 Hats: A Pre - AKG 451b Toms: Channel - Heil PR30's Overheads: J Pre 500 - Audio Technica 4050's set to cardioid Rooms: Dual RPA 500 - Cascade X15 Stereo Ribbon Mic

In episode 33 Jazz master Jason Harnell joins us with special guest Joe Bagg on keyboards. They give a fantastic live performance that we think you will really enjoy!
Jason's kit is a Yamaha Master Custom with a 12" rack tom, 14" floor tom, and an 18" kick drum all covered with Remo heads. For metal he has a fantastic set of Istanbul Cymbals.
Our goal for this episode was to capture a completely natural and organic sound. To reach our goal we used an uber simple setup, featuring micophones from Mojave Audio, and spent some time getting our placement right. Just in front of the kick we used a Mojave Audio MA301 FET and for overheads we used a spaced pair of MA300 Tube mics. These microphones did a fantastic job of capturing the kit accurately! Enjoy the episode!

The console has long been the central hub of the recording studio. Even with all of the flexibility and convenience of modern software-based recording, there's nothing like having all of your mic pres, eqs, and routing for effects and headphone mixes all neatly laid out at your fingertips. Today we're leaving the rack gear off and running everything through a 24-channel Toft ATB console. The ATB is the latest in a long line of great gear form the design genius of Mr. Malcom Toft.
Our kit for this episode is a Pearl Reference Series (called the Batmobile!) featuring a 22" kick, 12" & 16" toms and a 6"x14" Gretsch USA Maple snare drum, all covered with Evans Drumheads. The Kick is rockin' a GMAD, the toms have clear G2's on top and clear G1's on the bottom, the snare has a coated G1 on top and a Hazy 300 on the bottom.
The cymbals are all Paiste featuring a 22" 2002 Ride, 18" & 19" Signature Full Crashes, and 14" Signature Dark Crisp Hi-hats.

In episode 28 Ray performs Love & Meth and talks about the recording process for "The Paradigm Shift". Since his big kit was packed up and ready to hit the road Ray threw down on the Batmobile! The Batmobile is a Pearl Reference kit featuring a 22" kick, 10" & 12" rack toms, and 14" and 16" floor toms. The snare was one of Ray's favorite 6"x14" Reference snares. The kit was covered in Remo drum heads.
Ray brought a full assortment of Sabian Cymbals and beat the heck out of them with his signature stick from Pro-Mark.
Capturing a drummer as powerful as Ray is no small feat. Let's run down the list!

Wade Goeke, the mastermind behind the Chandler sound, was kind enough to send us some great gear and we wasted no time getting set up to record (Charlie didn't actually want to take the TG Channels out of his rack when we were done!).
Let's take a look at our setups for this episode. Setup #1: Kick: MXL A55 -- Chandler Germanium Mic Pre (this has some serious mojo!) Snare: Heil PR30 -- Chandler Germanium Mic Pre
Overheads: MXL V67i's -- Chandler TG2 Toms: Audio-Technica AE3000′s -- Chandler TG Channel's This gear sounds absolutely awesome.
