Description: This is a drum cover (from the TRI-cam Series) of Sherwood's damn cool song, Home. I edited this song so that it's 30% faster than the original album version. I know the anthemic pulse of the song is what makes it so powerful and speeding it up destroys than feel of it, so i'm sorry about that! :) just tried to keep things interesting, since this is only a video of JUST the drums. This is technically not at all accurate, but that wasn't the intention of the 'cover'. This is not so much a drum cover as a my personal rendition of the song :) i still tried to keep to the context of the song, but just loose enough so that my emotions provoked by the song could guide my drumming.. if you get what i'm saying.. Sherwood - Home from the 2007 release A Different Light is the copyrigthed property of its owner. (This is a version 30% faster than the original album version) (External) Drums by Cobus Potgieter | jaapvlooi@gmail.com *TECHNICAL INFO* (with my last cover series, the Overhead Series, i got an insane amount of questions about my set-up.. so here's an in detail description of how i made these covers..) Drumkit: Tama Superstar Custom; in the Blue Metallic Fade Heads: Toms TOP: Remo Powerstroke 3, Clear. Toms BOTTOM: stock heads. Snare TOP: Remo Emperor, Coated. Snare BOTTOM: stock head. Bassdrum BATTER: Remo Powerstroke 4, Clear. Cymbals: Paiste PST 5 UNIVERSAL setup: 14" Hats 16" Crash 20" Ride Secondary Ride: Zildjian Planet Z (very muted, tightly screwed down) Secondary Crash: Paiste 502 16" Crash *RECORDING* I miced each individual drum (snare top AND bottom were miced), plus two overheads, ran this through a mixer, got a decent mix and recorded with ONLY *ONE* stereo channel.. no multitrack recorder(s) :) I compressed the final mix to HELL.. to get a more aggressive sound, to make it sit better in with the original song (and hopefully overpower the original drums), detailed compression settings: 20:1 with a threshold of -20db and a compensation gain of 15db, with both seperate channels (LEFT and RIGHT, from the mixer) sent to a stereo sub-group, and the compression settings applied to THIS group, it gave a nice compact and aggressive result.. further mastering was needed to equalize the final mix and control peak levels and such.
