Royer SF-12 stereo ribbon microphone for easy Blumlein & MS recordings

microphone stereo Royer SF-12 ribbon mic Drum Overhead We're excited to enter the wonderful world of easy* stereo recordings – with excellent analog sound quality – as the Royer SF-12 stereo coincident ribbon microphone can deliver. We put up the Royer SF-12 as overhead mic on drums – which in hindsight was appropriate for the session – a punk (speed punk) style of drumming with lots of hits (LOTS of hits) – from the kick drum to the snare to the cymbals. Here are some photos of the drum microphone setup for that session with the Royer SF-12 about 6.5feet high in the middle of the drum kit. Just one more sound weaving options for drummers – only at Sound Weavers. Enjoy the drum recording session photos inside.

Fire hits the studio

No, not that “fire” – but that fiery FIREBOTTLE blues band fronted by Joric Maglanque AKA DELTA SLIM – a self confessed soul dredger, err, soul bender – one of the few local ambassadors of blues music (don’t even bring up blues in a conversation unless you are ready to sit for a blues history lesson – LOL).

I plugged in my Peavey Predator guitar yesterday and man... I mean MAN... WHAT A PALLETTE of sounds this guitar amplifier is - from super sweet clean to super crushed distortions - and the feedback - feedback from a real tube preamp and tube power amp sections.

Top Drummer Dom Famularo says “RELAX”

Top drummer DOM FAMULARO held a drum clinic at Yupangco’s main office along Buendia Ave Makati City Philippines. DOM is an endorser of Sabian hand hammered cymbals and Vic Firth drum sticks.

I caught the second half of DOM’s presentation/talk/performance. The Yupangco main showroom was cleared to make way for a very large crowd, easily at least 300 people. A drum clinic obviously has a drum kit setup – in this case it was a nice

Jimmy Luttrell – Guitar King

This weekend we were fortunate to have a very personal encounter with a great musician - JIMMY LUTTRELL is a multi-style, multi discipline guitar player - he's been recording guitars and vocals for a CD of self penned love songs that he will release soon.

Over casual chats, he slowly revealed the "guitar king" that he is, the projects and musicians he has been involved with and OH BOY - it was like a story telling session "HISTORY OF GUITAR and GREAT GUITAR PLAYERS" - straight of the horse's mouth. Among other things, he taught Jimmy Hendrix how to play behind the back guitar - NOW that was blast of a revelation to a music fan like me.
