Re: [Simmons Drums] SDSV Issues

2008-09-20 by I. Clark

I¹ve used DBX 165, UREI 1176 and Valley People Dyna-mite on SDSV with
amazing results.  I agree it needs to be one of those ³drum squasher² type
compressors.  I¹m sure a Distressor would also do the job quite nicely.  I
mostly use my UAD-1 plugs now though, which sound surprisingly very good.  I
recommend bus compression along with compressing individual drum channels.
While the hard click of the V is very useful on stage, taming it is
certainly the key to a good recording.

Enjoy your new acquisition.  I love mine.
