These are my settings for my EQ cuts to the metal machine drum kit. These help to get rid of some of the ring and rumble on the kit as well as some of the pinging inherent therein. I use Sonar X1 which has Sonitus FX EQ. Im sure you can apply these freqs on any EQ that has Q and Gain. First things here is my track break downs for the kit. I wish I could take pics for you but I cant. Kick L/R trk1, Snare T & B trk2, HH trk3, Toms 1-3 trk4, toms 4-5 trk5, Ride trk6, Overhead and Ambience trk7, mono room and reverb trk8
I like having the 2 lower toms on a seperate track to really get them to stand out.
Kick drum trk drop EQ freq 2213Hz -18dB (sounded like a wood block to me) and freq 132Hz -9.5 or to taste for hollowness
Snare trk drop freq 1729Hz – 18dB (sounds like wood block again) and freq 296Hz -18dB for ringing
Hi Hats trk drop freq 979Hz -18dB for ringing and freq 489Hz -8.3 or to taste for hollowness
TomsAll trks drop freq 1479Hz -18dB (wood block) and drop freq 84Hz -9dB or to taste for rumble
I pretty much left the ride and crashes and the rest of the channels alone! Im using the stock kit that loads, which means I havent changed any of the sounds thru the drop options on the pieces of the kit.
You can hear these setteings in action on my link, the top 3 song are all using this EQ!
Please feel free to elaborate on this post! I hope this helps!
