Saw this clip from wikidrummers, thought it way cool. Didn't see any previous threads or posts about it.
I think this illustrates the "tune for the room" principle ,rather graphicly.Acoustics have a great deal to do with the sound of a drum.Not all environments, benefit different drums equally.Some favor the snare,some the bass drum(I still refuse to call it a kick..ugh).some the cymbals,and some favor all.
This was a lesson in "learning how to tune,with out an app or bot...101"
Thanks for posting.

This is why recording studios were so important before the days of triggers and drum machines. You used the room to your advantage to get the drum sound you were looking for. Anybody who has heard "when the levee breaks" knows how important the right room is to a drum sound.
Wasn't that the track where Bonham set up in the bottom of an elevator shaft and mics were placed at floors 1, 2, and 3?
They recorded it at Headley Grange, a 3 story stone building in England... Bonham set up under a stairwell on the first floor, then they put the mics on the third floor to capture the sound. Then in the studio, they slowed the drum track down and put the rest over top of it... To the best of my knowledge, they didn't play the song live for these reasons....
Here is something you may find interesting...or not. A video of how a drum sounds based on where it's played. Not a surprise but kind of cool. Check it out here.

poika,
check out the post title - do you notice that it's different than the title from the original post in the thread? That's because NC68 first created the post in a new thread (not being aware of this existing one) and I moved his post here. Any more questions? ;-)
As you know, sometimes it happens that people create multiple posts on the same topic - separately, not knowing that this is already being discussed on the forum.
