SoundPure's Dave Bartholomew gives an overview of the gorgeous three piece drum kit by Pork Pie Percussion, custom decorated in Curly Maple and Pocaro Blue sparkle. Founded in 1987, Pork Pie started as a single kit crafted by Bill Detamore and grew by sheer demand into the world-renowned company it is today. And still to this day, each kit is custom made at the hands of Detamore, specified exactly to your liking. Many thanks for Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass-Kicking Team ("OAK Team") for recording their new single "Girls with Glasses" using the kit. Please don't hesitate to call one of our drum experts with any questions you might have concerning this kit or many more like it. 919.682.5552. or 888.528.9703.

The new "500" series of Vintech Microphone Preamplifiers, presents a modern take on the classic Neve 1073 module, and in this video we are focusing on the Vintech 573 Model used in our "OAK" sessions. SoundPure's own Pro Audio Expert Doug Wessling details the functions, and utility of these stellar preamp's, with special attention to how we used them to track a full drum kit during our session. A transformer balanced microphone preamp, the Vintech 573 provides all discrete high impedance D.I., that passes through the input transformer. If you are interested in the individual drum track, or any other Hi-Res audio files featured in this or any of our other videos, please email preamps@soundpure.com for any questions about the recording chain or anything else you would like to know. You can also call us here at SoundPure, and speak to any of our experts to see how we can provide the perfect combination for whatever setup you are working with. 919-682.5552. or 888.528.9703.
