Haha, those are "square" toms that are featured in the Slingerland Magnum kit. This one is from 1985. The snare is a '70 COB Gene Krupa, also a Slingerland. They are set-up goofy because I wasn't using them on this track.
@@ChadEtchison They end up sounding like the MAY internal miking system, akin to Alex's sound on the live album 'Right Here, Right Now'........And the mics are over 24 years old.......hard to find Radio Shack models. They have a certain frequency response that current lapels do not have. I just play a 4 piece, so I had enough mics to fit the bill. The bass drum hits very hard in the mix.
@@drummer4hire12 Oh man, I think I get what you're going for. The immediate fast attack of one of the gods: AVH. His tone is so recognizable, maybe more than any other big time, famous drummer. I'm assuming the RS mics capture attack, and stick dynamics really well. There are so many magical RS products. I really lament their closing. I once hit up the RS down the street on a regular basis to get carbon comp resistors and silver sold. That solder was so good and really cheap! I think I appreciate Alex's drumming more now that I did back in the 80's, even though I loved the band. I now realize what his musical connection with his brother really meant for their music.
Another piece to the puzzle. Sounding Good!
Thank you, KM! Back in the saddle again!
What in the name of the baby jusus is going on with those toms! (and that snare)

Thanks for sharing. Highly appreciated!!! I use 4 lapel mics inside the drums and 2 overheads.
Woah! That sounds really cool!
