what does it take to get people to notice a thread. I hope that title works... anyway, Me and my guys just released a record called Monument and you can download the whole thing for free. It's along the lines of The MC5, Hendrix, Black Sabbath and some Pentagram. It's a not a pretty sounding record but I love it! hope you guys can check it out.
It was a very minimal mic setup. 3 drum mics, 3 on guitar (only one was used for the mix) and one on bass. Almost no overdubs. We tracked it live in one room without headphones. I was SO happy to get to record this way, it really felt great! It was cut to a computer, dumped to tape really hard, and returned to a computer for mixing.
the drums are 13, 16, 24 3ply ludwigs from different years, a supraphonic, and 15, 20, and 22 Istanbul Agop Om's. I didnt want to be that guy with the matching cymbals but i just love the sound of these cymbals. I bought them one at a time over a few years and they were always my favorite.
