    Watch in HD!!! This is a drum play-through for a song titled 'Evolution' by Skyharbor. Its off of our latest release titled 'Guiding Lights'. This was a really fun song to play live with the band. Its filled with energy and upbeat sections, but it still gives a lot of room for improvising and messing around. As I've said about previous Skyharbor songs, I love playing this material because it has so much room for interpretation!
    I tracked this video a few months ago, soon after I had just switched over to Tama drums. This is why you'll notice an older mic setup compared to some of the videos I've uploaded as of recent.
    I've posted my kit specs below.

    14 x 6.5" Starclassic Bubinga Snare Drum
    All hardware is Tama
    Speed Cobra Pedals
    My cymbal setup is listed below (from left to right)!!!

    I went yesterday to the rehearsal room and started practicing my grooves and after two hours, I threw away my drumsticks while cursing at my lack of speed. I think I just wanted to give up and just enjoy your videos instead of trying to be a better drummer. Now, I'm watching again this video and I say, hell, just watching what you do makes my hands beg to be playing again, even though I still have a lot to learn. Thank you Anup.

I've even though about posting pictures of plug-in settings and such on my Facebook... We'll see!!!!!!

    • @BurtonDrums
      @BurtonDrums 9 років тому

      asdrummer2008 Thanks for the reply man :) yeah I mean the hardest thing for me is getting things like the snare to be so full on and punchy, its easy in SD but all the hard work is already done for you, but track them yourself and it all changes lol! I hope you get round to it! All the best mate!

    • @trevorcarlson5576
      @trevorcarlson5576 9 років тому +6

      Seriously that snare has more punch than Muhammad Ali. It's gotta be something about the bubinga snares cuz Matt Garstka gets almost the same exact punch out of his. Would love to see a picture of those plugins though!

    • @asdrummer2008
      @asdrummer2008  9 років тому +35

      Burton Drums Well I'll tell you exactly what I did in the mix... I used a standard digirack (Pro Tools) 7 band EQ and boosted at 200 Hz by 1.6 dB and at 4.3 kHz by 7.4 dB (shelf). I then also boosted at 4.8 kHz by 2.4 dB. The 200 boost was for a bit of beef and bottom end, and everything up top was for the crack of the snare. I then used a bit of saturation using the SPL TwinTube Processor, which Im usually fairly delicate with. Finally, I used compression using the API 2500 Compressor. Here's a download link to a screen shot of my mix for this video. I've expanded the plugins I used on my 'snare top' mic. You can also get an idea for what I use on my entire drum mix in the background. All of the tracks in blue are drum tracks, and all of the green tracks are summation busses (aux tracks). The yellow track off to the left is the song Im playing to.
