the thing about his cymbals is that, as he said in his dvd, they are made to immitate electronic cymbal sound instead of the normal accoustic sounds..
so you can imagine that the sound has a very fast decay...
indeed in his dvd, he played in a room for the recording and even so, the decay is fast...
which is good if you wanna haf a fast attack and fast decay sound for impacts in the songs, and provided in a room... closed room...
for open space, outdoor, youth park kind of place, i think u haf to consider to not even using it.. unless your condenser mic is super power type ah....
anyway, this is just my opinion ah.....
