After receiving a nice new pair of mallets in the mail this week, I have been itching for the weekend to roll around so I could get some metal surface recording done for an upcoming Industrial cover song I'm working on for a local band.
After borrowing a few metal drums and some scrap metal from work, I mic'd up and let it roll.
The mallets were great - hard headed but different velocities gave very different results as well as
wrapping the heads in socks and other such softeners for less attack and more ambience.
