CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 8, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 i was thinking even possibly a trigger? For sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BenBroChill Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 also did anyone get to see the opening bit? Them vocals took a really hard turn south on the last note. I think it was worse than the halftime show AND how bout that solid minute of feedback!? Im glad it happens to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drummer_jay Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 I just watched again... hell, now it seems like drums are live! I still don't see any mics on the kick... in or around. If it's anything like a 52, D112 or even a 91, you'd be able to see it. I froze some shots.. (because I'm a dork like that) and still don't see anything. Perhaps the kicks were prone to feeback live, so they tracked them? Maybe I'm missing a tiny trigger somewhere, something like the ddrum pro trigger would be visable. I don't see how those kicks would sound good anyway.. Mainly because he has a very thin reso head on there with no hole. Still a good solid performance. I noticed while rewatching, daultry's lips don't match a few seconds at the end of a song. Could be a sync issue. I hope we can find some inside info at some point. Find someone that worked the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 8, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 The lack of a sound hole doesn't preclude a nice kick sound. I've heard lots, and it's a bitch to mic sometimes because of the lack of a hole, but still doable. I'd guess he was using internal mics or a trigger(s), but there could also be a mic on the beater side. It's really tough to dissect live shows with the editing style common today, and the fact that camera angles are intentionally set to provide a clean view of the artists and not the gear.

Members Coaster Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 @7:58 take a look at the lower left hand area of the (drummers POV) right kick drum from behind the drummer. i think i can see a small black circle on the inner head, it may be an illusion as i cant see it from a front angle. also the tom mic cables are pretty visible and would be very easy to hide on the kit. arent you a drummer jay? surely you have seen a "no wires" kit before, not uncommon. there are a couple spots of a backup vox here and there ( ex: ooh ahh ohh ahh ohh (in who are you)) and some keyboards that may or may not be live (ex: synth in baba o'reilly) i was actually expecting to hear tracks, i was surprised to hear live music. the people on that stage were playing.

The lack of a hole isn't much of an issue. It makes it a bitch to get much attack, but I agree. It's do-able. I'm thinking those kicks didn't sound to great acousticly due to the reso head he has on there. They're extremely thin, almost like snare side heads. Put those on a 26inch kick drum, and you're looking at a pretty poor sound! I've got some screen shots of the kicks, both front angles and back. I can't see anything. I'll have to upload them and post em. I'm just being a complete dork here. Not like it matters or anything, I just find it interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coaster Posted February 8, 2010 Members Share Posted February 8, 2010 it is interesting, i'm interested in finding out about the kicks too. i've looked pretty hard and cant say what they did(?) i have the DVD of the who playing at Monterey in 67, and i tell ya what the superbowl sounded better, maybe not every aspect but i'd have to give it to the superbowl show between the two, and i really like the Monterey show. thats 43 years between those shows. i got nothing but respect for those guys. anyone catch john paul jones on SNL saturday? WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 8, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Well, we're all dorks here, (I know...I'm a "dillweed" too, according to the latest version of Ryan) so you're in good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty anal when I wire up a kit. I like to make it look good. I try to use 98's when I can but the wiring I'm talking about is where the cord terminates into a XLR adapter. It's hard to make it look that good! ESPECIALLY on a clear acrylic kit! Good job to whoever did the work on that kit. I can see them coming out of the capsule then basically disappear. I'm seeing that circle too. It doesn't look like a mic, but maybe it's where to leg bracket ties into the shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
