I continue to be impressed that you include the secrets others leave out- such as the ‘other room’ mic. I saw the mic in the wooden box there and thought ‘they’ve done it again!’ Good stuff

[NeckBraceRecordings]

This is such a good video, so in depth and informative without ever stepping in to 'information overload'. Really interesting seeing the discussion and examples of different snare muffling techniques.

[MikeMastropierro]

Mike! He’s my sales rep! He’s the coolest!

[SoundAloneband]

Also I absolutely love api for drums man. Nothing beats it as far as punch and rock n roll. My choice by far. And the 2500 for drum compression. Woooo baby. Just always works.

[billyhughes]

This one's cued up for tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it!

[adrianwagner]

VIVA for the win
thanks to all!! it was fun to sit in for all the 'sperimenting with the drum tricks

[LetsTalkAboutReaper]

I LOVE the new "Drops" muffling system from Tandem Drums. Different weight options, no adhesive, and they just slip on a lug of whatever kit piece you want.

It bounces with the head so it acts as a gated muffler and is fantastic!

Thank you for this great video Warren and for making it Mike! You guys Rock!

[compucorder]

Thanks, that was really useful. Especially the part comparing the different tools for snare dampening, and the effect they have on a well-mic'd snare. I liked the spirit of curiousity, experimentation and listening here.

[PurpleMusicProductions]

Very interesting video. It confirms the concept that drums are the hardest instrument to mic properly and it is best to capture the sound at the source versus the fix it in the mix mindset. With my experience in the academy which I have witnessed in this video the room mics and overheads are CRITICAL in capturing the drums as they appear to be the foundation of the entire sound so attention to detail is paramount.

[TomCawoski]

It never ceases to amaze me with all the various ideas of what people consider "A good drum sound." I appreciate seeing someone else's approach to recording drums but this hardly would be considered "massive" drums as stated in the title of this video!!! No wonder people (engineers) complain about drummers smashing the schnizzle crap out of their cymbals when you have drummers putting all that weighted dampening on the drums. I'd really like you Warren to do a video of Simon Phillips who you say you know do a video on how he records and mixes his drums. He's an excellent drummer as well as an excellent engineer!!! Incidentally, Simon doesn't use any dampening on his drums and has one of the best drum sounds in the industry along with people like Dave Weckl and Todd Sucherman of Styx.

Fantastic. Well done guys that really informative. Down to the brass tacks. Thanks very much and a big thanks to the PLAP team

[eweesplace]

So many great snare "sounds" with the various dampening!

[johnosborne]

I remember when "How to change a life" came out I thought, "Great song, but those drums! Great message, but those drums! Great recording, but those drums!" The drums really stood out for me and was instrumental (pun intended) in my playing the song again and again.

@Warren
I saw you had a black Engl Artist Edition.
What do you use it for? I LOVE that amp but split the fx loop out to a Mesa Rectifier and JCM 2000 poweramp.

[billyhughes]

Excellent stuff -- that API board, ....wow, love it. Anyway -- the discussions on options to dampening the snare very cool -- I have the brass snare weight and leathers that work really well for certain things. Moon gels always gotta have -- I'll have to get some of the donut stuff. Mic'ing the shell I've found is useful if you want more snap/cut in a dense rock/punk or metal mix. Anyway, thanks for this one Warren - cheers!

[hipmetalworx]

don't folks use PZM for room/ambient/overheads...?? They capture the room/space as if you were in the room, amazing soundstage / imaging....a sonic foundation to build upon....cheers from Vancouver Island..!

[dodo]

This was awesome thank you! I struggle like crazy to get a good drum recording.

[RetroDivergentes]

it is nice to have a lot of room options. For me, a sm57 in the back of a wall is all i need.
