One Drum Kit. Five Rooms. (HoboRec Bull Sessions #52) 

Thank you Ryan! Means a lot coming from you 🙂

Engage walls!!! Haha thank you 🙏

+borja muro thank you!

I'm surprised by how every room works pretty well with guitar and bass in context. I've got the same issues , recording in a small room and I used to have very bright cymbals (lots of Paiste 2002) and i've now changed for darker cymbals ass well, works great to avoid bleeding in close mics and to avoid drastic eq cuts (2k,6k,10k especially) on overheads. In small rooms i like to put a mic outside the room to get more space and breath and one far away from the kit, pointing a wall (without acoustic panel to get more "harsh", with acoustic panels to get more body)

Wow thank you so much!

+newamerikangospel amazing! Glad to have helped :)

Hehe that’s great. What band do you play in?

Storm Of Sedition (Crust punk) and Iskra (Black Metal) and Knacker's Yard (Celtic Folk)

+Jack Cryer thanks man! Glad to hear 😁

Yeah toms especially :o

Bitte! Thanks for watching =)

I’ll see what I can do. Thanks!

And he never did

Thanks! Yes it’s possible to a degree. The best way I found is to put room mics behind something so you don’t get direct line of sight from the mic to the drums. And then add some good room IR reverb on that. Another, probably easier, way is to add samples to the drums with just the room sounds.

That sounds like an awesome idea! If you can you should put gobos and damping around the kit so you get relatively dry signal in the close mics. That way you can blend with room mics to taste 👍

Using it as a chamber reverb could be cool. Put speakers in the room and mics somewhere pointing wherever it's sound the best

Haha yeah I almost get lost some times. It’s an actual EMT. Just a bit beaten up. Not mine though.

The beauty of that room though is that you're free to use some really over the top verb during mixing, with the other rooms you're limited to the sound of that room since they have their own signature sound. The super dry room can also be really cool if you crush the drums with compression and heavy distortion too, especially for some stoner rock stuff

Yes, there are some compression to bring out the room (and to even out my amateur playing hehe). Some very minor eq, on the kick. Same on all takes of course.
