One for the drummers

Doctor J

Had a certain Mr Baggio P. Baggio in GS Recs for sessions over the last two nights and his big red machine... steady on

It's the biggest kit I've ever recorded by a long way and you indie lightweights should take note. 16 mics to capture this bad boy, panned to bejaysus so the big rolls go from all the way over in this ear to way over in that ear just like back in the 70's before those indie limp wrists started pipping away on mickey mouse drums

Check this out

That is SOOOOOOOOO sweet. Must be a nightmare to mic a kit like that! Gives me a headache just thionking about it!

Any soundfiles?

Doctor J

It was bloody hard work, that's for sure, but it sounded sweet at the end of it all. I had him do a little solo at the end of the session and just bounced an exceptionally rough mix on to cd... maybe he'll stick it up later

Nice kit!

Imagine miking this bad-boy up though!

Man, the look of serene contentment on Baggio's face is priceless.

Doctor J

He approaches a very zen-like state when he's on the stool

i dont think there's any point in slagging off drummers cause they dont have 16 piece kits, surely?

Doctor J

I think it's entrely justified

And I approach a very zen-like state when I'm passing a stool...ahem:p

Anyway, beautiful kit alright and I was searching those pictues to see if Baggio had an extra pair of arms to play it!

Everything's so small! lol

Baggio

Well...
thanx to all for kind remarks,,,was goood fun hope to get a better solo down with the great Docs permission before we finish it all off the one we did i was a bit worn out and it was a tad sloppy in places..when is done properly ill put it on my myspace etc .......
Anyway has been good and challenging for sure...the kit sounded great in the studio and all things just seemed to gell well,.... the guy with the small kit in that clip??..goood stuff..but i prefer to turn thos kind of remarks around and Remark - that he/she should be able to AT LEAST do that on such a small outfit..after all theres not much physical area to distract or confuse a player..so should be veryy easy to trash away on 3 drums! - still was a goood clip

dont forget the RUSH tribute band in voodoo on friday night should be good...I hope!

ciao' amigos...Baggio.....

Baggio, your "sloppy in places" is perfection to the rest of us...

jcoote

lads stop complimentin him seriously its way more serious an ego than u can imagine ..

looks great boss i'm sure it sounds great too.

we assume doc that sound files will follow???

more mics than a press conference

edit: the babylonian looks great baj 1st time i've seen your one set up with the kit

Baggio

Johnny,
..cheers indeed...yeahh the Baylonian sounded terrific when we tried it and the Bamboo sounded a bit too ringy for what we wanted so we tried that beast there and she was spot on, it's all down to the room of course, one snare can usually sound better in one room and not in another...so just aswell i brought the babylonian and the piccolo along.
Might bring the Copper slingerland too next time, for an extra twist in case the Doc needs other sounds ...yu can neverrrr have too many snares!!

ciao' amigo...Baggio...

jcoote

u are making it sound like sonor make bad snares

sure the more u can vary your sound the easier it is to appriciate cos your constantly listenin and not just thinkim 'duuude!!!!'

Did you make the Bass skin yourself, Baggio?

Baggio

fish head got it from www.vividheads.com around $120 including shipping *4 years ago!*, good selection of stuff, and straight up to deal with.

ciao'..Baggio...
