See his photos and screenshots at Flickr, and download his resulting drum tracks from 102, right here at the IHR website. He used the MXL770 and MXL990 condenser mics, and Samson's dynamic Q8 mic, as well as the Earthworks KickPad™ (reviewed back on IHR #31) and M-Audio FireWire 410 interface, plus GarageBand '08.
