Hey there,
I finally got some drum samples done with a couple different microphones here, and thought I'd post some samples for those interested.
(Admins, I don't know where this should land, as these are products I have for sale, but people have different versions of these microphones, and it might bring about some decent discussion. I feel like I've been hangin here long enough that it belongs in The Lab, but if you feel that it should go elsewhere, feel free to move it, thanks!)
Notes:
1. I'm not a drummer, I don't play one on tv. But I sure love to beat me some drums :grin:. All comments regarding performance are kindly directed to /dev/null. I've never played drums regularly, and this is the first time I've played in a couple years, so nyah nyah :razz:
2. Keep in mind you're hearing the room as much as the drums. I have a smallish room (roughly 10'X12'X9.5'), with some treatment, but it's certainly not your world class kick ass drum room.
3. This is not for the bandwidth constrained, theres about 25mb of download if you listen to all three, these are uncompressed aif files. You've been warned =)
That said, all these samples were recorded through a custom mic pre I built, that's similar to an API 312 in design, using a Melcor 1731 opamp. No compression, straight into the recorder at 24-bit, 44.1K. There's some overs, but I didn't hear any glaring gnarlies when I listened back, so there it is.

This is the new tiny mic I posted about in the Black Market. I recorded it at the same gain setting, but in real life, it's hotter than the others, so I would have taken it down a couple clicks.
