Drum recording for The Wax

So my indie pop/rock band, The Wax, has started recording a 6 song EP. We ripped through the drums in a weekend. Here's what we used for gear:

Overheads: Samson C02 pencil condensors
Kick mic: Shure Beta 52A
Snare: Shure SM57
Audio interface: ART Tubefire 8

We didn't have the best room so I tried out the Recorderman technique for the overheads. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results. Here's a clip of an early mix of one of the tracks.

Bi-annual update!

Well it's been quite a while since I've posted anything. I've been busy getting engaged, buying and moving into a house, recording, putting on shows, etc! I hope to start doing updates more regularly, mostly pertaining to my various music projects and what's going on with them. So without further ado here's the first one!

If you live in the Halifax region come check my indie pop/rock band, The Wax, at the Garrison Brewery on Thursday May 7th
