Tama Releases the Starclassic Walnut Birch Drum Kits

New for 2019, Tama's Starclassic Walnut/Birch shell packs add a new dimension of sound to the drummer-favorite Starclassic lineup. Walnut and birch are a match made in heaven. These two tonewoods complement one another with a 6 mm shell consisting of four plies of European birch and two inner plies of American black walnut. The result is a pure, modern tone that is clear and well-defined, yet warm and round.

Likely, the most subjective microphone placement in all of recording is the room mic for a drum set (or perhaps a room mic for any instrument setup for that matter). As with any recording, the sound concept you have in mind should lead the decision making process. In other words, what is the intent?

If you’re finding yourself with a limited budget resulting in limited gear, you’re certainly not alone. The good news is technology has come a long way from the days of being limited to any sort of multi-track recording outside a 4-track recorder. Now, the most cost effective of digital audio workstations, paired with the power of today’s computers, provide us all with nearly unlimited options for recording multiple tracks, multiple takes, and multiple versions. However, even with these advantages, we still need a decent instrument and decent microphones to lay a strong foundation for a finished record. Thankfully, almost all live instruments can be recorded with just one or two microphones.
