Real Drums Update
Seemingly, the real drums at The Point are both a hit and not even noticeable to some! That apparently means I held back pretty well on Sunday morning. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to start playing louder. I still want to give our sound guys some control in the house. But, it’s good to get nothing but positive feedback so far.
Just to be on the safe side, I’m going to switch to a lighter stick. My stick-of-choice in the last few months has been a Pro-Mark 747. Last week, on the real drums, I used a Pro-Mark 5A. This week, I’m trying out a Zildjian 7A. It should help with keep the volume down. I’ve never really been comfortable using a light stick, so I’m hoping to get used to it at lower volume playing levels.
It does feel better to be back on real drums, and the recording sounds much better!
Try the Pro-Mark 7A Japanese Oak. This is the stick I have used for years and it is a little more durable than the hickory. Once I tried this stick I was sold and never switched to another.
