Let the Games Begin
The drums are all set up. The mics are in place. Sounds have been checked. Time to roll tape.
I’ve spent the last two evenings at an “undisclosed location” preparing to record my drum tracks for the new JMB album…again. Since we’re going for the best possible sound on this album, I wasn’t thrilled with my snare & tom sounds that came out of the Cedarmore sessions. So, I’m taking my time and making sure I get the sounds I want.
This time around, I don’t have an acoustic drum shell around me. It’s just me in an open room - which I prefer for drum recording. I’m using different mic techniques, choices and placements for these recordings. Also, there are three different snare drums at my disposal to help me get the right sound for each song.
Pictures will be coming soon of the setup. I tried to take pictures tonight, but discovered my batteries were dead.
