Something about players that use their mouth to mimic playing always seem to be the best players. Guitarists do this too. Shannon is a legend man. I'm so glad he is opening up about this stuff. I know he spent a lot of time and effort on that room and studio though. Also digging the pearl set ups lately
Thanks for doing this video! That mono room is a really big part of your sound. I hope you can show your expander settings in the next video. It sounds like your Coles are also quite heavily eq'd and with some compression going in (I have the mics and they are quite dark naturally).
Shannon eu pedi pra tirar uma foto com você quando você estava afinando a Bateria em São Paulo - Brasil obrigado Shannon ! O Show do Toto foi o melhor da minha vida !!!
Very cool to find this in my UA-cam recommendations this morning. I initially became aware of you from your work on Tom Bukovac's _Plexi Soul._ I loved your playing and drum sounds on it and I've enjoyed catching up on your work since tyen. This video was great and I look forward to the next one you mentioned going through your signal path to tape and processing. Since hearing your work on _Plexi Soul,_ I've been enamored with the sound you get from your cymbals. They seem to always have this lovely (apologies for all the incoming metaphors poorly trying to describe what I'm talking about), breathy sizzle in their wash and decay. A kind of bloom that whenever I've heard it on cymbals I always say; oh man that cymbal has that "gas" on it. Almost like the bloom, wash and decay have just a _bit_ of the sound of pressured steam being vented or bacon being fried. Understanding of course that you mentioned using minimal processing when recording drums, I'm interested to hear if you have any thoughts on how you achieve it. Is it simply a matter of your choice of cymbals and the way in which you're playing them, or is there anything else you're doing insofar as the engineering? I'm also _very_ curious about the compressor/limiter you're using on your mono room mic because for my money it sounded _fantastic._ Thanks man, glad to be aboard. 🍻
Shannon, wow man. Hands down I think you have the most amazing drum sounds. This was fascinating to see and learn from. How many people are scrambling over to Reverb now, hahah! Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Thanks, Shannon, for the inside view, it confirms how I mic my kit, very similarly!! Good to know I'm doing it right! Hey I use the Pearl Eliminator pedals also!! Cool!!
Thank you Shannon !!! These videos I'm getting so much out of them. I'm trying to dial my groove and sound.... you are sharing your hard work and I'm so thankful for you taking the time to do this. Wow!!. I love the processing on your mono room and the coles as well!
Last week I spent a couple of hours looking for screenshots of that tom mic and google images to find the reference that Shannon just said! It was a famous microphone known as -Elvis microphone- from the 70s. Thanks for this info and all this other details! The overall sound is so great!
What a kit, love to see a deep dive into how you eq and compress etc. Actual kit mics eg snare and Tom's. Also what do you think of using only a sm57 for a snare for a live gig. Would it need to have a secondary mic on the snare.
This was cool 🤘😎🤘Love that mono room sound!! I’ve just discovered you from your last couple videos! your such a smooth player man! I’d love to hear your thoughts on getting into the right mindset when your playing? I often struggle while playing to be thinking too much about what I’ve just played , or what I’m about to play. Keep up the great content 👍 -John M
Shannon sos un fenómeno. Las comparaciones son odiosas pero en este caso para un fanático de Jeff Porcaro haberte conocido a vos es lo mejor que me podía pasar. Suena demoledor la batería! Cómo hiciste para encontrar esa ubicación al micrófono de room mono? Grabo en mi estudio y me resulta muy dificil encontrar una ubicación para el room. Es una sala chica y apagada. El mejor resultado lo saqué pegando un micrófono dinámico a 1 cm de la pared. Qué me recomendás? Abrazo! Felices fiestas
5 room mics? : 2 far wide stereo (limited?) 1 center far, limited 2 overhead, limited and comitted to 1 mono track Is that correctly understood? And then you blend them to taste in the mix right ?
And thank you When I heard you with Toto I thought "Great they finally found the drummer to bring back the spirit of Porcaro" Simon Phillips is great of course but differs from Porcaro's time feel where you capture it completely.
Im a new fan of Shannon’s, I love the drum faces too! IMO it’s a sign of greatness ! it looks to me like he’s found a way to repress his thoughts while playing, something I’m trying to learn how to achieve
The Snare mic is the BeyerDynamic M201!

That mono room mic is huge. Almost has a gated verb thing going on. Sounds great!

Thank you for this, Shannon! Regards From Brazil
I saw Shannon with Journey/Toto earlier this year-he was amazing!
Thank you for the video !! looking forward to watch part 2.
also Uncle Larry's sticker on the kick make the whole drum sounds more polished !!! lol
man that snare sounds so good
Fantástico. Incrível som de bateria, tudo em seu devido lugar. Que sala maravilhosa!

AWESOME !
Probably, the best sounding drums on youtube I'd say
Really interesting, thank you so kindly. Your Set and your Room sounds amazing.
Thanks, Shannon, for the inside view, it confirms how I mic my kit, very similarly!! Good to know I'm doing it right! Hey I use the Pearl Eliminator pedals also!! Cool!!
Digging the Bonham lick when you went to the far room mics.
Pure gold, thank you Shannon!

Good evening. Showing my youngest daughter the video. 👍🏽😁
Dig the compression pumping going on......
Thanks for the rundown!! I was woundering about those tom mics but now i know!! Thanks! What brand iems do you use?
Cheers from Sweden
Hey! Thank you
I use sennheiser ie4 live and studio. Have for 20 years or more.
@ thanks! Keep it up love your content!
Shannon, is the kit packed at all; (blanket? Pillow?)
Were the solo tracks EQ and compressed? Or were they the flat, Raw sounds? Great stuff, looking forward to the next one
Can you share you cymbalsetup?
What us he looking serious, smile boy
5 room mics? :
2 far wide stereo (limited?)
1 center far, limited
2 overhead, limited and comitted to 1 mono track
Is that correctly understood?
And then you blend them to taste in the mix right ?
And thank you
When I heard you with Toto I thought "Great they finally found the drummer to bring back the spirit of Porcaro"
Simon Phillips is great of course but differs from Porcaro's time feel where you capture it completely.
In the beginning , Is he in pain playing. Looks like he hurts or is pulling a muscle or something. Good info. In video
That’s just Shannon call it Shannon’s drummer face.
Im a new fan of Shannon’s, I love the drum faces too! IMO it’s a sign of greatness ! it looks to me like he’s found a way to repress his thoughts while playing, something I’m trying to learn how to achieve
What in ears are you using? Etymotic?
Those faces 😂
Thought he pulled a muscle or is in pain. Maybe got gas in the ass😂he needs to pass
groove is in the mouth
