Protest the Hero - Clarity Drum Cover by David Diepold

Hello everyone!

This is a cover version of 'Clarity' by Protest the Hero.
Volition is one of the very few records I could listen to any time of the day. PTH put so much fineness in their music but it’s still listenable. Just great!

Very special thanks to my buddies Bartol and Reins from bazn sounds & records, Sebastian from DreamCatch Audio and the “bluegarage”, where everything was recorded.
I also want to thank Mark from Pedaltrigger and Fabian, Hendrick (and everyone who's involved) from Murat Diril Cymbals for always supporting me the best possible way - THANK YOU!

Except for the bass drum and the snare drum, all the drum sounds are natural and as pure as possible. We spent a lot of time to set everything up and tried different microphones and positions.
For the bass I used a standard sample from the Steven Slate foundry and for the snare I mixed signals (natural sound with eq, comp and just a little verb; and again a standard snare from the Steven Slate foundry. I had to pitch the sound of the sample, so it would match my real snare)

Furthermore I used
Fame maple shells (22", 12", 14", 16")
Gretsch Cast Aluminum Snare (14"x7")
Pearl Demon Drives
Roland SPD-S for triggering (bass drums)
And Murat Diril Cymbals:
18” power crash
14" custom arena hi hat
19” power crash
10" china
21” custom crash/ride
20” custom speckled ride
17” stack
19" rock china
8” luminous splash
