The sounds taken for this demo are of the exact same kit in the photo above, as played by David Sleishman and recorded by Dan Lia at The Sound Basement, Sydney Australia. www.thesoundbasement.com

The kit you are hearing is all rock maple (silver sparkle finish) with the following specs:

Note: All diameters are listed first

Toms - 10”x8”, 12”x9”, 14”x12” (Floor), 16”x14” (Floor)- All 8 ply

Kick – 22”x18” – 8 ply

Snare – 14”x5.5” – 10 ply

A very sparse microphone placement technique was used, as we were very much going for an open room sound. It is a raw, unprocessed sound that you are hearing in order to highlight the natural tones of our drums.

There was no close miking on the toms at all!

The microphones:

Kick- Sennheiser M88

Snare- Bayer M201M Condenser

Overheads- 2 AKG C1000S condensers

Room- Rode MT2
