Dude, there so many little things you do that add up. Obviously, you're an incredible drummer but think that can overshadow your composition abilities. You write some sick stuff!
I think you mean SM57, I haven't had a BETA on there in quite some time. I switched to a DPA2011C about a year ago. One of the best, most significant upgrades in which I've ever invested.
Of course the Orbinater never fails to Orbinate anything he touches. Which essentially raises the bar for whatever band he's working with. Great!.....job.....travis.... but those vocals are str8 nails.on a chalkboard. Terrible. I wanted to watch everything you did here..but had to watch some other vid of yours because those vocals are so absolutely awful.. you should do an Instrumental version of these songs if you have the stem tracks.. so we can concentrate on your brilliant beats and compositions sir.
