A majority of drum rack systems have a hollow metal tube as the main part of the structure.  Those tubes can resonate with every hit to the drum or cymbal that is attached to it. It is very subtle but it can be an issue when recording with close micing techniques.  I tried to devise a way to alleviate this extra noise and have come up with an easy and affordable solution – noodles! Yes, those colorful foam pool noodles that you buy at the toy store are the solution. I simply cut them lengthwise into sizes that fit just slightly snug into the inside of each tube so it contacts the metal around it.

This next recommended video is a performance featuring Sting and Stevie Wonder performing an interesting medley of  Higher Ground  and  Roxanne .  Stevie and Sting are well known for surrounding themselves with exceptional musicians, and this performance only confirms this.  https://youtu.be/QsaWoSq-OBo?si=vZdfXdDkm7u9DTyX Sadly, we are not able to see much of the rhythm section, except for the flying, blurry sticks in the background.
