my cover of "Jailbreak"
I'm trying to dial in my drums for recording.
I used a kick mic, a snare mic, and two overhead condensers.
I figured I could pull this off without mangling it too badly.
Share your thoughts! Even the bad ones.

First thought was the drums weren't loud enough, but after listening to two different Thin Lizzy versions on youtube your drum level is close to what I was hearing on them.  So did you do all those parts yourself?  I thought you sounded very Thin Lizzyesque.

Did it all myself. Well, except for the sirens.lol..
I wanted it to sound as close as I could get to the original.
I put other stuff up on this forum, and the feedback I got was that the cymbals, particularly the ride, was harsh.
So I went with a "less is more" approach with the microphones.
