I moved my drums into my studio and now have crammed so much into this small room that I have to tread carefully entering and exiting. LOL.  So, my goal is to get my drum chops back.  I played live to a Randy Turner track and used 5 mics running through my Zoom R24.  First time I used it to record live drums after owning it for a number of years.
 
I had a couple of passes.  No punch in or edits.  I left it raw.  
I will add some tom mics next time but my tool box is pretty lean on the mic selection to say the least.  Anyway, it is my Mom's birthday today though she is now in Heaven.  She was so supportive of my drumming as I grew up.  Driving me to drum lessons, taking me to gigs, making sure my homework was done and all.  I love her for it.  This little jazz thing is for her even if not all mine.

All the best,

very nice Jimmy - sounds like you had fun doing it too.
A fitting tribute

Nicely present up-front sounds from the 3 close mics.  You've got plenty more scope there to back those off to pick the toms up plenty more for a nice roomy live sound without anymore mics, especially if you were to use some lighter gauge metals in that space.  Very nicely recorded though.
 
It's a good sound, and kudos to your Mum there she did a good job of encouraging some pretty good chops too.

Hi Jimmy, nice and groovin'. Was expecting more drums and less guitar ; )

Great drumming Rimshot! You pulled off a lot of very technical fills and turn-arounds, especially considering only 2 takes and no punch ins.  You've obviously still got plenty of chops left. :)
 
I think the mics and drum mix are fine too.  Very jazzy!

Hi Daryl - thanks for the nice comment.  I did have fun.  I should have set up my drums a long time ago.  I guess I was so enthralled with the DAW I forgot my first love.  Anyway, I am commin' back!

Hi Jonbouy, 
Thanks for the listen and nice words.  I will experiment in this room and see where to place the mics to pick you the toms.  It's only a 10x11 room so I am very limited.  For my very humble mic selection, I used Behringer XM8500's on the hh and kcik.  I used an SM58 on the snare and a Behringer B1 overhead and a Shure SH55 as a side mic facing where the floor tom would be if I can get it in here!  I only used one cymbal which is my 20" Zildjian ride that I used in hundreds of of studio dates.  
 
Anyway, I am so glad you liked the sound.  I hope to keep at it for a while.  I would like to play live on other's tunes.  Take care.

Hey Rik, 
I am really liking your music posts these days.  Let me know if you needs some real live drums on one of your projects.  I can play most styles.  Thanks for the listen.

Hi Walt, 
Much thanks for the good words.  There were some very technical fills and as I listen back, it sounds pretty good to me.  I had no problem keeping in time.  A long time ago I was a studio drummer and back then, some producers would take a timer and count the beats withing 15 seconds then wait a few and do it again and compare.  If the totals did not match, they knew there was a tempo issue.  When I played on Jimmy Messina's first album after Loggins & Messina called "One More Mile", he would do that.  Those were the days before digital anything.  BTW, Jimmy Messina is one great musician with a huge heart.  I loved working with him.
 
Thanks again.
