Made a little vid, can't really get what I hear to come across in a little hand held with a condenser mike, but you can get the general idea, particularly the distinction between the sonocs and the matts, the 12 works really well as the ride so I can tune the mahoganies down and let the natural rosonance take over.

Fantastic! With time as you break in those skins they will sound even better. 8)
They look even more amazing in the vid. Again, serious congratulations on the refurbished drums which are a piece of history, and with Matts, history in the making! 8) 8)
If I had an extra set of hands, I'd give em 4 thumbs up! :lol:

PC, thanks for the demo vid!! & congrats on your aquisition :wink: Nicely done.

Audio was pretty well captured. What condensor mic did you use? The room had decent acoustics for sure.

Your chops are an intregal match for the demo!!

It's just the sony hand cam mike, unfortunately I bought a nice digital camera that does not have the capability to attach an external microphone. Bummer.

ahh, no wonder it was clipping occasionally. Sounds good otherwise.
