DrummEAR - Information on the Kits
Hali-B
Kit:
An old Gretsch kit with old thin Zildjian cymbals. The drumheads
also old and worn 'perfect' for that old, cool,dirty sound. Sizes: 22"x14"
Bassdrum,14"x5" Snaredrum, 10"x8", 12"x8" toms
and 16"x14" Flor-tom.
Beefy Ballad Kit:
A Yamaha
Custom Drums Birch kit recorded in a small booth through a SSL 9000 console.
Quite compressed and tuned down for that beefy sound. Sizes were: 22"x16"
Bassdrum, 14"x5" Ludwig Acrolite Snare, 12"x8", 14"x12"
and 16"x14" toms. Zildjian K Custom 22" Ride Zildjian A 17"
crash, K Custom 17" crash and Zildjian 18" A Custom crash. 15"
Zildjian Heavy Marching Cymbals Hi-hats. Remo coated Ambassadors drumheads on
all drums.
Big Ambient Kit:
Like the Beefy Ballad Kid except
for the Bassdrum was recorded short after in the studio´s big room and
featured a 24" Premier Genista Bassdrum.
Retro Ambient Kit:
An old Ludwig one with 26" Bassdrum, 14",16" and 18"
toms. Snaredrum was 14"x6.5". Transparent Ambassador heads on toms
and bassdrum. Recorded in an empty public theatre. The idea was to get a BIG
old sound, so Tekniks used a huge PA-system which the drums was fed rather loud
into. The sound of the Ambient 1 and 2 mics are mostly from PA-system. 'Ambient
1' was placed ca. 6 metres away from the kit and 'Ambient 2' ca. 15 metres -
at the back of the room. The physical distance between the kit an the Ambient
-mices was long, too long. So the delay caused by the long distance were compensated
for in editing. All samples went through a serious treat of compression to get
the most out of them.
Power Drum Kit:
This kit was recorded
in the newly restored attic at Gjøkeredet Studio. The goal was to make
samples that producers could use in rock/pop rock music that had attitude. So
the drums were recorded with the best preamps, mics and outboards around. The
drums were also played quite hard which is important for rockier music. Tekniks
recorded the custom toms with brand new, shiny REMO Pinstripe heads. This combination
is legendary and has been used on thousands of records from the early eighties
up until today.
