Drums On

I moved the studio across the street today, in preparation for Kassel's drums.  I also got M-Audio's Bass and Drum Rig, and I had fun making electronic music most of the day (so did Mott).

The big CRT monitor I found while cleaning out the back room of the other apartment.  The monitors are M-Audio Studiopro 3s, the interface is an M-Audio Fast Track 8R.  The computer, which I just got this week, is an Acer with an Athlon 640 quad-core at 2.8Ghz, 4Gb RAM, and 1Tb hard drive.  It has none of the problems that my four year old laptop had running Cakewalk's Sonar 8.5 Producer edition (which I legally purchased from reputable merchants, if anyone asks).
Here's the kit with the mics on:

You can see I took the resonant head of the bass drum off.  Before I did, it sounded like a fish banging against cardboard.  Now it's like that, but louder.
