Tonight I will have ready the FULL REVIEW & PICS.
Meanwhile Clint, you won´t find nothing about Simon´s tuning process in my review, because when I came back to the stage with my BD beaters, bass drums/snares and toms were already set. However, later he took MUCH time until he got the right sound of the BDs for the PA and for his monitors.
All I can say is that from my point (close to the set in some different points of the stage) and without mics sounds:
- The snare drums sounded SUPERB, pure Simon.
- The Bass drums sounded SUPERB, pure Simon.
- But the toms, eachone of the six ones, well...I was a little disappointed, compared to the sound we hear on his recordings.
At first listening you could say the toms didn´t sound well, but as Simon says here, YOU REALLY GOT TO KNOW WHAT A MICROPHONE LIKES.
