Recording some hardcore?


Today, Richard and I started work on a new song. It's going to be different from my usual indie/acoustic stuff, and much different from Richard's usual bluegrass/folk stuff. It's weird, but I like it. It's best described as if American Football teamed up with We Came As Romans, or some odd collaboration like that.

We recorded both guitars today using my Fender Telecaster, and Richard's Jackson Dinky; both going through his Marshall MG100HDFX/MG412A half stack. Richard had previously used his Jackson while we were both in Turtle Spew, and I've been using my blue Telecaster since the departure of my Schecter Corsair. So far, the tracks sound pretty good, but I can't really say much yet, since the tracks aren't even mixed yet and it's still only electric guitar.

Tomorrow, we will begin recording drums. The setup I'll be using for these recordings will be the usual Blunderfuls set:

Gretsch Catalina Club Mod drum set with mahogany shells

18" x 20" bass drum
12" x 8" tom
14" x 12" floor tom
13" x 6" snare drum
22" Zildjian K ride
18" Zildjian A crash/ride
14" Zildjian hi-hats

I'm pretty pumped.
