Thanks! Even we hadn't played as a duet before, we'd known each other (and each other's music) for many years up to this point. So there was a fair amount of pre-game-ing involved here.
I agree with the other comments, this sounds way too good for a first time collab! 🤩 can I ask you: is hat a regular comb you're using on the snare? and what kind of mic did you use? thx!
Thanks! So it is a regular comb, but I have to say that I went through a lot, a *lot* of comb testing and searching. I found the best combs (for this kind of stuff) are actually the really cheap kind you get from $/£ bargain bins. They have to feel cheap and plastic-y and have a "plink" sound when you tickle the tines. Those take rosin and make this sound very well. For the mic, it's an inexpensive lav mic which I've housed in a 3d printed thing to make it easier to hold. The exact one I have/use is a Naiant X-X microphone, mainly chosen cuz it was cheap and sounds decent enough.
@@kriista thanks a lot for the info! i hadn't finished watching just yet so hadn't heard what you said about the combs... very interesting! I'll look up the mic reference, i've been looking for a half-decent (and preferably cheap!) snare mic for while, I also like playing around with lots of "micro" sounds on the drums, but I feel like using a mic with some additional effects could definitely expand my sound palette!
mindblowing performance you two-jaw was on the floor after the first improvisation
Thank you!
Crazy you two never played together before! There were definitely sections that sounded nearly synchronous or even call/response
