Drum Tracking & Programming

Great drum recording starts with a well-tuned drum kit and the right choice of drumheads and cymbals to achieve the desired sound. I pay close attention to the selection of microphones and their placement, ensuring that each drum and cymbal is captured clearly and with the right balance.

During the recording process, I focus on achieving a tight and powerful performance, paying close attention to dynamics and timing to ensure that each hit is consistent and impactful. I also collaborate closely with the producer and engineer to ensure that the drum sound fits well within the context of the overall production.

In post-production, I work closely with the producer and engineer to refine the drum sound, using a range of processing tools such as EQ, compression, and reverb to create the desired tone and ambience. I also carefully review the drum performances, making any necessary edits to ensure that the timing and feel of the performance is consistent and dynamic.

Overall, great drum recording requires a combination of technical skill, musicality, and collaboration with the production team. With careful attention to detail and a focus on achieving a powerful and dynamic performance, I strive to create drum recordings that enhance the overall impact of the production.
