Went into the studio to record some tracks for a friend of mine who is forming an rock instrumental band. He plays lead and rhythm guitar and his brother plays bass. The drums sound killer!! The link below is the first track we did. It's just drums, bass, and guitars doing strait up rock n roll. The lead track has not been recorded yet. This was recorded in a home studio finished basement with 7ft ceilings using a scaled down version of ProTools. You've got to listen to this through some good speakers!
The fills in the breaks were charted on purpose to match what the lead guitar track will be. We also still need to add some Hammond B3 in there. It's going to be a three song demo.
I used my Platinum SCM kit for this and GOD I love power toms!

Sennheiser 421's were used on the toms, Audix D6 for the kic with a D1 on the beater side, Audix D1 & D3 for the snare, and MXL 603's for overheads. Surprisingly there was very little EQ used on the toms/kick, but they are compressed and slightly gated.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
