The main thing I learned from this video is that a world class engineer can do a lot with drums but crappy cymbals are crappy cymbals

actually he could fix it, its not hard but it takes time, some professional studios does it with shitty recordings, they just did basic stuff, mix, eq, compression and reveerb, if the engineer was kind enough he gave it volume.

@@La_sagne you dont need the mixer, it just makes easier to move everything and mute everything especially if you work with more than 70 tracks (probably a full orchesta, some electronic music), a mid quality mics who record a sound you like is more than enough, just see reviews in different rooms not just in studios, ill just buy high quality mics in a pretty good studio with a nice sound treatment, which will be much more expensive (10k doilars if you done everything), with some good skills you can clean and make everything sounds good, how i know it? im a producer and i been cleaning vocals who came from an iphone microphone, my own vocals who are recorded in an audio technica with low volume and a lot of white noise, after you done it properly it sounds so nice and profesional, what you can not replace its a good singer, drumer, guitarrist, bassist, producer and stuff, a bad producer/audio engineer can fuck everything done properly or fix most of the thing done wrong

I bought a CB drumset for my grandson, it sounded like crap with the stock heads on it. I replaced the heads with Evan's heads and it sounded so good that I made a riser for the bass drum and played it out in a couple of small venue gigs. I feel the key is in the tuning and the choice of heads. Making it sound good with EQ is cool, but it should sound good without it first!

First, your recording environment is more important than your mix and 2, unless your mic is truly awful, you should be able to edit the audio to a point where it’s listenable. And decent mics have become very inexpensive now. You almost have to actively try to get a bad microphone to get unfixable audio.

Noted!

I guess this is where the term "Polishing a TURD" comes into play. It actually did sound great after tweeking the various different components of the drum set on post recording! Nicely done.

I first started on a tiny kit like that. It's hilariously bad now of course, but as you said, you can't discount any tool that can get a kid started on playing drums 😁

I think we've all seen street performers playing amazingly on overturned plastic containers- so it's not what you play, but how you play

Who needs DW,Ludwig, Sonor? Lol

I used to be in a marching band since i was 6 until i was about 14. When i was 10 or something my younger brother got one of these toy drumkits. He never really played it but i did play it really a lot and i think that my interest in moving on to drums instead of just a snaredrum started there. Now I'm 25 and i played in several bands and played quite a lot of live shows, some small and some big ones. I still play i a band, but obviously no live shows now sadly... It's funny to look back on how it all started.

6:24 Say what you want about those drums, but you gotta love a kit that you can pick up in one hand!

When you want to have a pretty natural sound it gets difficult though. Like when you want a natural sounding kit for Jazz for example. There you would be pretty helpless with a drum kit like the one in the video.

I really enjoyed watching the process of making this Kids Kit sound, loved it!

I think it would be fun for you guys to buy a really cheap drum set, guitar & bass and have yourself and some others jam with the toys, tuned of course, and see what kinda sound you guys can make with then. I'm sure we'll all be impressed. Great vids. Love the channel

Back in the 90s Carmine Appice and Edgar Winter were on KLOS 95.5 radio in Los Angeles, Mark and Brian in the morning, they played Frankenstein, Carmine played a toy/kids jr set they had in the studio, they sounded great.

This is like what Billy Cobham does to normal size drumkits. Total Domination....

The mixing actually surprised me with the results, especially that bass drum! I think the snare could have benefited from a bottom mic as it didn't have a super crisp response while playing the song. Plus the splash didn't fit but it's pretty much impossible to make that sound correct unless you could somehow trigger it and use a sample of a hi-hat.
