Communicative Saturations - a drum solo Communicative Saturations was my first attempt at recording a solo on my own. Previously, I'd recorded things with studio master: Doug Heaps, Pittsburgh Art Institute; or with various bands I was in, so this was just me! Toby Bryant co-produced this project, in that he lent me the four track recorder and microphone to do the project. Back when I got home from touring with Energy Rush, I helped Toby develop purpose for, and purchase a bunch of gear from Pianos n' Stuff Music Store, and helped him start his studio. This was the first time I'd ever been in this position to set up a home music studio, so it was a freebie. Soon after, his wife had some sort of breakdown, and I and my free work were tossed aside. This was the project that I tried to use to come back from those wasted months, so Toby was happy to help with the equipment.
My drum-set consisted of: an 8 ply Maple Rogers XPE kit, with Evans
Hydraulic Heads, and triggered a DrumKAT 2.5. I used Fantasticks drum-sticks, a Simmons One, Tymbali, Zildjian cymbals: 12" Splash, 14" New Beat HiHats, (drilled) 16" Medium Crash, 18" Crash-Ride, 18" High China Boy. The recording channels were: Track 1 = left R-8; Track 2 = right R-8; Track 3 = Microphone. This was the project that I realized how accurately the drumkat triggered, because after it was recorded I could listen to individual tracks, and saw (heard) that it caught every note! This was the beginning of the road to losing the acoustic kit. |
