Photo from last week's Doubtsower DIY drum recording session, where I spent a day and a half at Music Box (Cardiff) tracking for my third LP. The lead up wasn't particularly ideal, as I'd been having some pain in my foot, and had been limping the day before, but luckily it wasn't drumming-related, and it just about stabilised enough in time for the session.
Between setting up, line checking etc, and getting enough decent takes for all the tracks, it was an extremely intense session - first day was 12 hours, with a 15 minute break, and the 2nd half-day was also flat-out - but I enjoyed the experience, and captured everything I could have realistically hoped for.
It was a fairly similar set-up to the previous LP, although on this occasion I fancied trying an overhead change, and opted for ORTF rather than a spaced pair. Also used a reso head on the kick drum rather than keeping it open, and added a 2nd rack tom / double bass pedal.
Neck is still recovering from having the laptop to the side of the drum kit :)
I'm currently working my way through the recordings to comp the best takes - happy with the way things are progressing, and looking forward to sharing once finished!
After seven weeks of touring with @simplyredofficial, I’m back in my studio in Switzerland. I’m looking forward to do some drums and percussion recordings before the tour continues next summer. . #simplyred #drums #drummer #drumrecording #remoterecording #recordingstudio #sessiondrummer (at Rebel-Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbaYjiqWa0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Everyone knows deep in their hearts that the #drums are the coolest #instrument, and that a #band is only as good as its #drummer. So we are all for #drumsolos. We are all for drummers hamming it up. We are all for drummers standing up and kicking over the #drumkit.
