I have no idea how this channel is still under 80k subscribers. Miami always gives the best mixing advice.

Top 10 most used drum samples would be so funny to see which ones we all recognise!

This dude really drops gems almost every video / topic shout out to y’all man fr

Shopped a ton of snares and landed on Pearl free floating in maple. Really, really good sounding snare that you can still pick up used for $500. Tunebot is the best tuning device imo, way more precise than drum dial

I just want to say thank you for doing a video that does not focus so much on samples and sample replacement.

I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm the last person on the planet who likes to record live drums, with the exception of the people who are recording live drums with the intention of selling the samples...

Im going to be recording my brother on drums at some point. I'm going to suggest we record some one shots so we can blend samples of his snair over the top of his snair, all recorded in the same room on the same day.

I bought him a snare trigger a couple years ago so we can get a clean signal to trigger off of.

I love the flat Tama brass snare sound. Works well in almost every situation as a starting point for me.

[lauriseppala]

What drum samples you used in this video and where can i get them? sounded great 🔥

[CrushingAxes]

Shat, sheet or poop mixing snare is 10x worse than kick, for me if the snare is ok everything else just fits perfect! Very nice video! Awesome tips!

I’d take midi drums over 90 percent of “drummers” I’ve ever recorded mate.

[drrodopszin]

Imagine all those non-native English speakers who cannot differentiate between sheet and shit.

[MadDjentah]

Cause your snare is not THE snare from St.Anger😂🎉

I spend 2 days just to find the "perfect" snare :(
