In this video I talk about how to get a good Jazz drum sound out of an inexpensive drum set with a very small 16x16" bass drum.
I talk about tuning, snare and cymbal matching as well as some recording advice.
I also address several questions I received about this kit following the last batch of videos I posted using it, particularly about the 16" bass drum.
The kit I am using is a Gretsch Catalina Elite set from the early 1990's. I use this as my portable practice kit as well as a small gigging kit.
The sizes are:
16" BD, 12" and 14" toms and a Slingerland Gene Krupa 1960's Sound King COB 5"x14" snare..
The cymbals are all old K Zildjian from the 1940's through 1960's except for a 24" Masterwork Thalles series China/Swish.
I am using 2 Sennheiser MKH 80 microphones for overheads and a AKG D112 on the Bass Drum
