Hey folks. Here is a drummer that you NEED to know about if you dont already. Meet Mike Mitchell. He plays with the legendary jazz bassist Stanley Clarke. This clip is from two nights ago in St. Louis, MO at The Pageant Theater. The song was written by another jazz legend, the late George Duke, and its called Brazilian Love Affair. This entire video is very much worth watching. Its almost 15 minutes long, but WELL worth the investment of your time. Scroll to the end of the video for a listing of Mikes cymbal set up. Regarding the sound you hear with this video - 1.) Its always somewhat left to chance how the audio will turn out in many of these live and very much on-the-go videos. That being said, the only issue with the audio in this video is that the mic on the Zoom was simply too close to the far right crash (Byzance 20 Vintage Pure Crash). So when Mike goes to that crash, you can hear the mic pick it up a bit too much 2.) Provided you are listening to the video through decent ear-buds or head phones or decent speakers connected to your computer, you should be able to hear a reasonable audio recording based off of the Zoom Q3HD which was one of three cameras used to record this. The other two cameras are the Go Pro Hero 3 Silver edition model. Their audio is nowhere near as good as the Zoom Q3HD, so that is why I went with it for the sound. (-Chris)
