Simple, Clear, logical, Imitable, Perfect. Another great video from one of the best audio channels around.

[komet]

Again so clearly and well explained mixing technique. This channel is one of the best sources for information.

[johnh]

This approach is so simple but so effective this has been a great help

[rickydee]

Oh wow, what a great video tutorial, very helpful, thank you!

[stevenspencer]

Thank you very much my brother. And I like waves SSL channel because, Well, they’re SSL.I use them extensively at church. I don’t know if my gold package has an analyzer, I reckon I could use an F6. Thank you so very much buddy. May God bless you and your work.

[dodo]

What a difference with only a few moves. Thank you!!!!

[edwardlee]

thank you best common sense tom video for eq ive seen

[mixedbykg]

this is awesome, just became a fan of this page. I often have trouble with toms

[SteveStockmalMusic]

Love your teaching style, great advice, very well presented, nice results.

On a humorous note: I can’t believe nobody called you on your pronunciation of “high piss filter” !!

I speak four languages and traveled for two decades around the world, so I understand accents, language barriers, all kinds of stuff.

But except for that one word, you sound like a very normal English speaking (from America) kind of guy.
Not sure why you pronounce high pass with an i.

Anyway, thanks for a great tutorial, catch you on the next one !!

This is so awesome, thank you very much. I have always struggle with this matter and now thanks to you I have an approach that I can try and I know will work!

[DanielPestanaTranslations]

My recorded toms unfortunately don’t sound anything like that. Don’t know if it’s the drummer tuning or the mics (SM57) but it’s really hard to tell the 3 of them apart without any processing because they have a lot of bass (it’s not a proximity effect issue, I made sure of that). So, when using your teaching, it should have worked as you’ve shown, but by increasing the fundamental on the low end, it only increases the issue. Great videos. I’ve been binge watching them. So well explained, right to the point, and they actually work and you can hear the difference for the better, unlike other channels. Thank you for the amazing content!

Damn i always use presets for eqing toms.
After watch this video i just realize, it's the same move just like eq kick lol.

Thanks Jo!

[eliternity]

Great thx for this eq tip 👍🏽. It's super helpful 💪🏽.

another way to really highlight the muddy mid frequencies is to use a digital EQ that has band pass filters so you can really hone in and hear the low mid frequencies and then dial them down

[AlexReidStudios]

If I got one dollar for each of the techniques that you've shown on your channel that are now part of my mixing process/template, I would have $5, which is not too much but I'm thankful

[ricktellez]

I play a big drum set starting with 8 /10/12/13/14/15/16 if you can put a video out how to EQ a 8 and 10 no one ever puts any videos out on EQing big sets

[montearnstam]

What is the frequency analyzer plug in you use?

[BojanBojovic]

I usually cut from 600hz to 800 hz 12db or more and basically I get the same results.

[Lepaulorig]

I often use this method except:
-that I do not cut as much of the lows
-and I take the mids down at around 500hz.

But sounds good. Great stuff, great channel. Subscribed. Keep it up 👍🏻

[sandersonstunes]

This is assuming your toms are properly tuned to begin with.
