🥁💥CATCH THE SPIT!💥🥁 Brian Tichy “Tom Sawyer” drum cover.
Used my Tama mahogany Peart replica kit for this .. with @remopercussion heads and @PaisteChannel cymbals . Had to use Neil’s signature sticks for this (with the left one using the butt end..)
Only one kik miked so I had to use a double pedal. But realized later since there’s no 6” and 8” Tom usage, I could have used one of those inputs for a true double bass experience!
- Drums - (I removed the 6” for the vid because it was in the way due my limited camera angle),
- 8/10/12 concerts, 12/13/15 closed toms, 18 floor tom, 20” gong bass drum not miked, not used. 24x14” kiks
Snare - 5.5x14 60’s wood Leedy. Had it a long time, never used it, but with the wood kit, I figured why not, cranked it up and tried to match Neil’s pitch and tone. Not easy. It’s a super cool snare sound he has and quite elusive.
- Paiste 13” sound edge 2002 hats / 22” colorsound ride/ left to right crashes-
- 20” 2002/ 20” giant beat / 10” signature splash / 16” 2002 crash / 6” splash (splashes not used ) / 20” signature crash / 18” cracked novo China / 22” ride China (unused )
Lots to think about on top of the amazing drum parts , but since it’s not to a click, there’s natural push and pull and it’s not easy to duplicate , you just try to catch a bit of Neil’s feel, and go for it ..
An iconic track, and I just wanted to see if I could get the kit in the ball park sonically in my home studio , and get a good take on video.
Drum on! 🥳👍 The Professor rules!!!!
