Gift ideas organized around $100, $200, and $300 — mostly recording studio gear for live band sessions, plus a favorite bottle of Japanese whisky. Click any button below to go straight to the exact item.
Blended Japanese whisky in the signature 24-facet bottle (available at Total Wine or local liquor stores).
Supercardioid guitar amplifier microphone that rejects drum bleed when we record guitars and drums live in the same room.
Clips onto my snare drum rim and uses a vibration sensor to display my live tempo (BPM) on an LCD screen from snare hits.
Compact hi-hat microphone that fits right into the empty hi-hat slot inside my drum microphone flight case.
Two extra-long (50 ft) microphone cables to reach both guitar amps across the studio room.
Runs our P.A. monitor output across the room into my Audient recording interface (great paired with one of the 50 ft XLR cables above). Note: Needs to be a Balanced TRS cable, not a regular TS guitar cable.
Flat-profile guitar amplifier microphone with a 3-position tone switch that drapes directly over the amp handle (no mic stand needed) and blocks out same-room drum bleed.
All three 50-foot studio cables together: 2× 50 ft XLR microphone cables for the two guitar amps plus 1× 50 ft Balanced ¼" TRS line cable for the P.A. monitor feed.
Mics up both guitar amps in the studio at the same time with complementary tones and tight drum bleed rejection on both cabinets.
Matches my existing stereo pair of sE8 drum overhead mics and drops right into the dedicated hi-hat cutout in my drum mic flight case.
