CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Yeah but this video is utter bullsh!t. The bass drum never moves and you can hear close mics and there are none. Went around with this on FB already. I do not dispute the principle because it is well known to me. Hell my snare drums sound different in my living room than they do in my recording room, and that's just my house. But this video is all about trickery Edited December 7, 2013 by CygnusX-1Bk2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Great post! It makes me think of how great Zeppelin was at getting the perfect sound out of Bonzo by recording him in odd spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I could be wrong, but there is something fishy with this thing. I watched the making of video and in the final shit a car drives by kit but is inaudible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Great post! It makes me think of how great Zeppelin was at getting the perfect sound out of Bonzo by recording him in odd spaces. Or that famous picture of Neil's red Tamas out on the lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 The room obviously has a huge impact on the sound of drums, but yeah, there's definitely some trickery going on with this video. Great playing, though. As much as I love Neil's drumming, it's cool to hear someone really go wild on a stripped-down kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Indeed. Like I said my snare drums especially sound different in the rooms of my house. It's to the point that if I change heads on a drum in my living room I have to finish tuning in my recording room (converted bedroom) so that when I record the drum translates to the recording well. Even close miked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Well yeah, of course they'll sound different in different environments. Wildly different from inside to outside (outside they tend it sound like shit). But I don't buy that there was nothing added to that video.

The video is theater, to tell the story of the sound. Still well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
