Well, I suppose I can let ya'll here my playing just messing around this particular day. What do you think of these drums? Teardrop 12x8 14x14 18x14 14x5 (that may be a different snare than the matching Sonor, not sure).

I love the sound of teardrops, though I have been ignoring mine for too long, since they haven't been really useful to me of late. I like mine a lot better in person than I do on the recordings I've made. They sound a bit thumpy when recorded, but live they are... well, more alive. The H4 doesn't seem to do them justice.

As you get toward the end of that recording, I begin to hear the kit melding, and it sounds really great in that last hurrah. :D :D :D

The usual questions: heads, tuning and mics? I'm not sure what you were saying about the snare, but I like it. 8-)

Thanks much for posting that file!

Hey Lane,

Yup, sounds like Saturday morning drums, coffee and recorder time, which I do a bit of myself.

I like the sound very much, and the palying is nice, loose and casual.

This with the zoom recorder?

Wonderful, the drums sound very open and free... GREAT!!!

A beautiful set for sure Lane - You're one lucky SONOR bopper... ;)

Yes, Cliff, my old Zoom H2 recorder and I've yet to pay any attention to all the various settings which could possibly help. Considering that I'd say it gets a natural representative sound of drums and cymbals.

My 'fake' jazz playing, indeed. Don't really have too much experience with playing standards but have listened to it since the 70s.

Been a while since visiting, hope all is well!

BTW, this rosewood teardrop set might end up in the capable hands of a well respected drummer. If and when that happens I'll let you know, just to be on the lookout for them.
