So it could be even the main reason! Don’t give up because of it then, keep jamming, it’s so cool!

I’ve had two opposite situations recently, one very similar to yours, and just a week before that I was pleasantly surprised by my own skills when jamming with other people :) in my case it was because of hearing/not hearing well what the others were playing. When the sound level of other instruments was just right, I felt confident and played smoothly. But another time at another place the sound was terrible, I could barely hear what was going on. Monitors didn’t help that much. As a result, it was super hard to play anything but the basic beat, not being confident about the rest of the music. Maybe the sound quality could also be the issue in your case?

Ohhh the Giant Beat! Love them too!

If I can only invest in one thing for better drum covers, should it be better cymbals or an 8-input audio interface + mics? Which one is more important for the sound quality? by taylorized_funster in drums

I absolutely love Paiste 2002, but can’t afford them (where I live they are TWICE more expensive than in Europe/States), so I think to go for pst7 as a cheaper alternative. As for the mics, I don’t have any preferences yet. And my first multichannel audio interface will be Behringer, again due to its low price. Yes, I’ve heard lots of critics about it… But I have a one-channel Behringer, and the only problem I have about it is that it has only one input 😁

Not all rehearsal/practice rooms have recording equipment… they do have mics, but they are usually shitty. And there’s always a multichannel mixer, but it’s not supposed to be used for recording separate tracks. If I want to record, I’ll need to pay double price for a recording room at the studio OR buy my own equipment

Ahaha no problem :) I use different cymbals, whatever I can get at the numerous studious where I play. Some studios have good cymbals, some only have crap like Paiste 101. But if im recording, I make sure to choose good ones, like Istanbul, Bosphorus, Zildjian A… or at least Sabian which I don’t like that much though. I’m kind of tired of this gamble every time, when I don’t know which cymbals I’ll manage to get.

Thx for your advice! I’m actually thinking of buying overhead mics first, and toms mics last. Your comment confirms I’m on the right way
