API 527 lives on my kick. A little tricky to dial in at first but once there I can't live without it. But it's so player dependent!! It never sounds right for more than one player at the same settings, don't you find??

I use one of my 6 Aphex 651's on kick. .002% THD, DC to daylight bandwidth, zero degrees of phase shift, the widest range of control in the biz. I've yet to find a drummer with an even kick level. I don't compress the snare drums here, those get a limiter rarely but usually it's done in mastering where I "whack-a-mole" to settle down the hard hits. I like natural sounding drums played by great players, squashing them makes them sound like a drum machine. But you mod yours. Will you fix mine too?

And the are worth every penny!

Yes, it really is. And if you own one, I hate you. Ok, not really... I lovingly hate you and am insanely jealous. Only two. I could honestly use 4 more.

Well, I got my Revive Audio modified DBX 160x today and I love it! Great tone, very easy to use, and affordable. Just what the doctor ordered!
