*The Music Box studio drum kit is setup in a 'hybrid electric/acoustic' configuration for easily capturing professional and flexible drum recordings every time. This is done by using silent mesh heads and triggers for toms while the snare, kick and cymbals are recorded live with mics.
Too often poorly tuned, tired old tom heads spilling into the other drum mics ruin what could have been a great recording. This technique keeps the toms completely isolated and allows us to select from an elaborate array of perfectly tuned and recorded tom samples that suit the song and change them even after tracking while also removing the possibility of nasty resonance or a small mistake in a fill wasting an otherwise perfect take.
