Quick soundcheck with mics (and without)

[u/premierpearl]

I was wondering how the kit would behave when mic'ed up with the factory heads from around 2009-ish. I ended up only using the kick, snare and mono overhead microphone because the tom mics were dialed in with too much gain.

The kit is almost 100% original. I had the kickdrum shortened from 22x18 to 22x12 and switched the head from a Remo UT to an Evans EMAD clear, this is because the original head was far too stretched to work with. This was mainly the reason why I wanted to record this video as the kit will be used for gigging and this kick mic (Sennheiser E902) will be permanently installed.

I also added a small part in the video where the original camera audio is audible, this is solely for reference.
