Heres a first go, I just freestyled so its raw enough but I am only finding my feet in Abelton Live so even getting this far, im a little chuffed with! Its recorded using a Roland DR80 Mic and it was positioned over the drum, but ill experiment with the sound hole also to see which produces the best sound for future recordings.
Since ordering this drum it has brought a world of joy every time while playing it. They can only be ordered in California and made by John Pascuzzi from Hapi Tones.com and are custom made per order. The one I have is tuned to the Akebono Scale of E and you dont have to be an expert to get some lovely sounds out of it. To play is very natural and intuitive and as its in a Pentatonic scale you cant go too far wrong
If you would like to play yourself before shelling out for one, you can play an online virtual one HERE

Every drummer I know insist on miking from above the drum. They all insist that to mike the sound hole just doesn’t work. I on th4e other hand never put rules on music or sounds. Of course I seldom plug in a nstrument anyway.
You’re a very good musician.

yeah will definately do both, the Hapi is very resonant and can clip the recordings if the gain is too high, but ill keep experimenting

An added important part is that if you are an elderly person, travel insurance with regard to pensioners is something you need to really contemplate. The elderly you are, the greater at risk you might be for permitting something poor happen to you while abroad. If you are certainly not covered by many comprehensive insurance policies, you could have several serious challenges. Thanks for giving your good tips on this blog.
