this dude's home studio set up is beautiful (pics)

[TomPaine]

Looks like a 1990s TGIFridays with a bunch of random stuff filling every nook and cranny of space.

I like a clean, minimalistic look much better.

[pengh]

You a Dead Head bro?

Not really. I know most of their songs. A lot of the guys i used to jam with are.

The only band I play with now is bluegrass based. Never thought i would be into bluegrass. The picking skills of some players are amazing. And the bluegrass scene is cool as fuk.

My background was all hip-hop 15 years ago

[Horse86]

all these haters with the wood paneling/popcorn ceiling comments... It probably is some old man thats been jamming down there throughout the years, who knows maybe even retired at this point, and still smokes up some doobies and enjoys the sweet sound of music.

His collection is impressive, looks like hes updated his furniture and TV over the years, but the guts, carpet/ceiling/walls have stayed the same. Probably reminds him of listening to Led Zeppelin back in the day and chilling. Sometimes having a 'time capsule' room can be bad ass. Thats how I always felt visiting my grandparents before they passed.

But point being, as long as rest of house isn't like that, if its just his old finished basement and his 'chill zone' who gives a ****. Probably an incredible musician and that room has heard some great tones

nah breh...it's definitely a mid 30's incel that is living in his Boomer parents basement (hence the shag carpeting, popcorn ceilings, wood paneling etc) and spent every cent from his min-wage job at taco bell on all that junk and has to have it all out in the open bc it is literally all he has in his net worth.

it's actually not, it's a 55 year old dude who lives with his wife and kids

ugly

it's reminded me though, everyone look at this srs. cool as ****



brad pitt revamped an old studio that was used anyone and put a load of $$$ into it

[Kormo]

All that studio equipment can be replaced with a laptop. It's just for show nowadays

[Horse86]

well slap me and call me Sally....I stand corrected. Still not my cup of tea.

Have you ever been in a pro studio, they're not supposed to be aesthetic, they're built for one purpose.

I mean lol he has 9 custom-made ATC speakers. Even basic models cost tens of thousands each. Then there's a $50,000 analog recording console and god knows how much those synths are worth.

Dude is a complete mogger, which is why he can get away with $1m+ DJ booking fees.

Electric drumkit spotted in the third photo of 70's basement.

Fuark missed that

here's my lil set up

That's solid mirin hard

I'm still working with a beginner pearl kit I picked up used for like $500 for everything but a throne

[Evil_D]

muh wife let me have a cave in the house i bought

This.

[FunkG]

I think yours look better. That guy is basement and basements are trash for any kind of setup.

basements are GOAT for home studios. tf u on

[T150]

Nice.

A real studio should never be too 'tidy'.

[Kabamaro]

Looks like guitar center

[Kawhilights]

Mirin cost of gear in that pic. For the unawares I believe he has a Roland Fantom there (the red synth), which is around $4k. That big boy Korg can’t have been cheap. Hell, the boring looking black box pads and a screen might be an Akai Live which is a sampler that sits at around $1300.

I hope that room is properly insured because if he went that hard on synths and gear, the guitars, and mics can’t have been cheap either.

yeah dude i know i know

my favourite artist of all time, david gilmour from pink floyd. look how basic his home studio looks

just gets the job done and has a net worth of **** knows what







then again he has a houseboat which is a floating recording studio lul so that's pretty sick

[7empest]

this is the roland kvx17 right? are they good? thinking of eventually gettign one but then i'm also thinking of why not get a high end set for like 3-4k that's like an acoustic but electric

nah mate trust me, don't do that last option. literally no point.

unless you're playing an electric kit live and want it to look like a real kit

otherwise. get an electric kit for recording, cause you can record direct and I use drum VSTs like Superior Drummer

but saying that, nothing beats a real drum kit. and i'd always use a real drum kit live

sorry mate, to answer your question, I can thoroughly recommend the KVX17 (this kit). pads feel awesome

[7empest]

das it mane - i thought the ones that look like acoustics might have better feeling pads etc aswell
just want the most natural feeling e-kit srs
but in that case i'll just go with the kvx17 eventually

nah don't bother mate, the difference in feel between this KVX17 (around $2k) is gonna feel & sound exactly the same as one of these electric kits that's meant to look like an acoustic

this will set you back $6.5k



u could pick up this for around that (no including cymbals)



high high end I know

drums are cool as **** though

check this kit out, hybrid acoustic/electric kit

[7empest]

yeah but i can't put a acoustic kit in my apartment lmao

yeah i know brah but one day you'll have a house with a garage or something, and I thoroughly recommend you get a real kit when you did and soundproof it. drums are fukking awesome, the most primal instrument. no need to plug anything in and they date wayyyy back.

if you think the first thing we hear is a rhyhym, mother's heartbeat. it's ingrained in us to do something with rhyhym. used it to rally troops for war back in the day. use it all round the world for rituals/ceremonies (not in the west cause we've lost touch with all that stuff). whenever I don't feel good, I play drums and everything is at peace

[7empest]

yep aware, a good kit sounds awesome

i currently have a chitty alesis nitro kit at home that i use, not optimal but works lol

house prices in switzerland are beyond insane but maybe one day

oh man yeah, pricey.

i have my kit at my parents house atm until I have a place with a garage, but they're cool with me having it there







hehe here's me with my first kit



tom angles of peace

[7empest]

that throne looks like it'll hurt your ass within an hour

how many instruments do you play brah? jeez mirin

yeah i wanna get a nice throne at some point

these are legit



drums, guitar and piano . sing too if that counts. ty brehh.

one band playing drums and one band playing guitar - just play piano by myself

[7empest]

i'd personally recommend ahead spinal g

god damn , that looks awesome. thanks mate

[7empest]

make sure to get it with 3 legs not 4, allows you to play on uneven surfaces
they have a 3 legged version of that
no real point of having 4 legs on a drum throne imho

huh wait, i'm being dumb brah, why would 3 make you be able to play on uneven surfaces?

and question 2 ,why would you be playing on an uneven surface?

[TryingMen]

The "stuff" is nice I'm sure, but it's a tad too cluttery for my tastes. I'd like it more if a lot of the bric-a-brac was stored in a closed cabinet so it can be out of sight should the situation arise

Came in to also say it feels way too cluttered.

You do not need that much sh*t hanging on your walls.
