Periphery – Periphery IV: HAIL STAN

In this post Matt announces that he has become a pearl artist. He states that he is using a music city custom reference kit. He has a 13 rack, 16 and 18 floor, and a 22 kick. He used this kit to record periphery 4. Matt switched to pearl after being a long time mapex artist. He did so because he felt change was needed after people he worked closely with at mapex either passed away, or left mapex.

In a studio update on Instagram, Matt Halpern reveals that he used the Pearl Reference Brass Snare while recording the Periphery album.

In an Instagram post, Matt Halpern announces his new partnership with Pearl Drums and is pictured using the Pearl Eliminator Redline Double Bass Drum Pedal - Chain Drive.

This is the Signature pack Matt Has with Getgood Drums. This pack is based on the drum sounds Matt recorded for Periphery's album P4: Hale Stan

For years, Nolly has used the Darkglass B7K Ultra and B7K Ultra V2, however, more recently with the release of the new Darkglass Microtubes X and X7, Nolly has adapted these new types of distortion. Nolly can be seen with the X7 on his home studio desk while tracking the bass for Periphery 4, first recording a DI from his bass, then continuing to 're-amp' the bass through then X7.

Nolly talks about how he has had a consistant method of building his bass tone, yet he has achieved it in different ways. In the past Nolly has used the B7K and FabFilter Saturn to create his distortion tones, for Periphery 4, we'll hear the X7 - likely for the majority of the album.

Based on the Combustion model, the alder body, maple neck and fretboard NG-3 takes things in an exciting new direction with the addition of the custom Darkglass Tone Capsule pre-amp, sweetspot pickup placement, carbon fiber print pickguard and racing/tuner inspired finishes.

This bass is the new 3-pickup version of the NG-2 bass. The bass comes in a 4, 5 or 6 string configuration and is used with each string set by Nolly.

Nolly can be seen using a pair of Adam Audio S3V studio nearfeild monitors in his home studio based in his parents house in Bath, England. The monitors are used in conjuntion with a studio subwoofer.

This screenshot is from the "Adam "Nolly" Getgood Mixing Masterclass part 1 of 2: Periphery "It's Only Smiles" video uploaded to YouTube, but he cna be seen using these monitors in many of his videos based in his home studio like the Periphery IV production dairy also on YouTube and videos.
