Drum EQ Techniques | Drum EQ Live Presets for Fast Drum Sounds

Get great sounding drums FAST! Use presets on your EQ to be ready for whatever drum sounds come your way. Keep your ears fresh, and make decisions fast, and keep your sound check going.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to EQ drums before the drummer even shows up, so you can make your drums sound huge for mixing worship.

Mixing at church is typically in a time crunch. You've got to get your console prepped and ready to go before the drummer gets there, so the worship team doesn't have to wait on you.

Preparation fuels inspiration. Super handy presets to get a useful, musically supportive drum sound quickly. Those polarity switches were really ear opening.

Preparation fuels Inspiration!!! Thank you for these very insightful tips. I am a sub for a chain of churches so when I fill In I only get about 20-30 minutes to get a decent sound! I am looking forward to using these eq settings next time I mix!

Good Sir, thanks for sharing your knowledge, especially in a sea of information - your videos are so clear and to the point, and completely eye opening and free, but mostly the type of videos that can save us all years of experimentation and wasting time going in circles .. Thanks A - Lot

Preparation Fuels Inspiration, I try it in our church and it definitely improved my church sound on my acoustic drums. Thanks for great tip. God bless you.

When you said you'd go for a gate, I would too, but specifically with toms I like to bring the Range up so that it only cuts it by 10 or so dB when the gate is shut, rather than using it like an "off/on" switch. It'll just cut off that ring, and yeah, it'll be quiet if he starts playing really quietly, but it won't be GONE. After if he's playing quietly, and it's quiet, that's fine!

Hi Sir, whoosh I’m really happy taking time to hear you couple of times, your demonstration and explanations got me some confidence.
I use the M32 and I love to practice what you teach here, I love compression and at a point I thought I was doing something wrong until your videos taught me to do it and do it the right way.

Thanks Sir, I’m grateful.
Can you please teach us how about compressing the stage n BVs monitors. I appreciate
