The Shure Beta 98A is a precision-engineered compact, high-output miniature condenser microphone for professional sound reinforcement and studio recording. An extremely uniform cardioid polar pattern provides excellent gain-before-feedback and off-axis rejection of unwanted noise.
Both Beta 98A configurations feature high sound pressure level capability (SPL). Beta 98AD/C includes A98D drum mount with flexible gooseneck that makes it an essential, accurate choice for toms, snares, and percussion. Beta 98A/C is recommended for a variety of acoustic or amplified instruments including drums, piano, reed, wind, and strings.

Ludwig‘s Black Beauty snare drum is without doubt one of the greatest snares ever made. First introduced in 1919, it remains one of Ludwig‘s most iconic creations.
The Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum is considered to be an industry standard for professional snares.
Originally made of chrome-plated brass, it was later made of a chrome-plated aluminum alloy.
Such notable drummers as Hal Blaine, studio legend, Joe Morello of The Dave Brubeck Quartet, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Alex Van Halen of Van Halen, Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Ginger Baker of Cream, Dino Danelli of The Rascals, John Densmore of The Doors,Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mick Avory of The Kinks, Sandy Nelson, solo artist, Gary Chester, studio legend, Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, and Steve Gadd, all-around recording artist, used this drum exclusively throughout the 1960s and 1970′s.
Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones also played it before switching to Gretsch drums, and Bobby Elliott of The Hollies played it after switching to Ludwig from Premier drums.
The Super-Sensitive strainer was introduced in the ’60s and was popular through the ’70s for its sensitive snare response.
In recent years some models of the company’s wood shell snare drums featured various exotic wood finishes supplied by Steinway and Sons.

When it comes to working with sampled acoustic drums, the advantages of using dedicated software like EZdrummer, Addictive Drums, or BFD2 are more than obvious. But not everyone can afford these, as they all come with quite a big price tag.
Luckily though, there are many free alternatives available online. I selected only the best free sample packs for this list, and choosing only the ones that come with mappings in sfz format (among others, of course). If you don’t own a commercial sampler like Battery or Halion, I recommend using the free Shortcircuit sampler v1.1.2, as it supports the sfz format and also offers multiple outputs.

This video captures Propellerhead Software trying out what they call the world’s biggest drum machine.
They don’t explain the details – but it looks like they are using a custom MPC-style MIDI controller to trigger Kong in Reason 5, and projecting their computer screen as video onto the biggest skyscraper in Stockholm

Drum Tuning Tips
20 useful tips on how to tune a drum kit as a pro.
1. Use candle wax
Take the old head off. Wipe the dust and debris off the bearing edge. Wax the edge with a little candle wax for a tight seal.
2. Tension evenly
Ensure a new head is tensioned evenly, otherwise it will be pulled unequally, get distorted and you wont get a clean sound.
3. Use your fingers
Take up all the slack by turning the tension rod to ‘finger tight’ – when the head of the tuning rod makes contact with the metal rim.
4. One rod = one turn
Now increase tension by systematically applying a single turn to each rod, criss-crossing diagonally around the drum.
5. Use your fist!
Press down on the centre with your fist to make sure the head is properly stretched and ‘seated’.
6. And wait for the ‘crack’…
Continue until the head is board tight. The cracking sound is just the glue settling, and it’s important to hear this.
7. Slack evenly
Now you can slacken the head back off – again take care to do this evenly
8. Fine tun
At last you’re ready for fine tuning. Take the head back up, evenly all around – criss-crossing diagonally again.
9. One rod = one turn (again)
Make sure that each rod gets the same number of full, half or quarter turns.
10. Fine, fine tune
Tap lightly an inch so in from each tension rod. Make fine adjustments until the pitch is the same all around the head.
11. Tune up not down
It makes things easier to get the tuning right if you always tune up to the note than down to the note.
12. Use the guitar method
Quickly dip below the note and then zip back up to it so you hear the note rise to the required pitch.
13. Use your finger
Put your finger lightly on the centre of the head to dampen the overtones and you’ll hear the pitch better.
14. Write numbers…
…around the edge of the head next to the tuning rods to make the order of tuning easier, particularly on a 10-lug drum.
15. Tune the bottom first
Most drummers tend to tune the bottom resonant head first – go with the flow.
16. Bottom = tone, top = feel
Many drummers say they tune the bottom head for tone and the top head for feel.
17. Choose an option
There are three tuning possibilities: top and bottom same pitch; bottom head higher; bottom head lower.
18. High tune for projection
Some drummers claim that tuning the bottom head of your toms a little higher than the top increases projection.
19. Down tune for funk
When you have got the heads evenly tuned, try tuning down one of the tension rods by a quarter turn for a funkier sound.
20. And stay out of trouble
This should reduce the decay of the drum making it a more controlled sound. It may also eliminate troublesome overtones.
