Tyler Cover Series Video #2

This was a fun one to do, and as such I thought I should document some of the process a little bit. This is the first video with Tyler's reconfigured kit. Mic choices were a little different as well, I'll get into that later.
   The cymbals setup/positioning changed quite drastically from the last video, which helped me out a lot. I was getting a lot of odd filtering and cymbal interference on the tom mics, this setup negates that. Another improvement was using a ported kick, getting the Beta-52 in there really captured the tone I wanted from the drum. It also freed us from a drum tunnel. We also opted to not use a second kick mic, instead using the extra input for the side of the snare.
  I am beyond stoked with how the snare came out. First time using an Audix I-5 and the side snare setup. A huge part of why this is one of my favorite snare drum tones is the Pork Pie Cherry/Bubinga that Tyler is using. This drum is magnificent. At any given time we have 3 snares at our disposal and this is the one that gets chosen, for a very good reason. 

Here's the latest video. Hope you dig it:
