Probably the most important video we've made to date, & certainly the one I'm most proud of. As in all Guru videos, absolutely zero processing, no tricks, no effects, just well tuned & played drums in a good room. Even used an SM57 to record the snares, so it doesn't get more real world than that.
Anyhow, 36 performance captures, 24 audio samples (for later studio use), 36 different tuning "pit stops" for me. All in one very long day.
Even if you have no interest in our drums, I'm hoping the recording method, precise tuning ranges for comparison, lug frequency data, etc, will be of some interest to you. I'm not aware of another manufacturer's video done in this way, & certainly not with such tuning control. That control, the use of exactly the same heads, etc, really levels things out, so you can (hopefully) hear the character differences on display here.
Anyhow, here it is, our latest pride & joy, presented with total honesty. Please listen through good headphones. BTW, a couple of low tuning shockers in here. So you didn't think a 13" drum could get that low? Well, an In-Tense can All snares are unvented.
