yep to that!

and on the Purdie thought, I can't imagine how tough it would be to program (from scratch, no loops) one of his shuffle grooves with ghosts, subtle accents and the full dynamics that he can lay down in one 4 bar groove.

Seems you may be looking for a 13in set of hats, K's can be a good in between sound not too bright not too dry. Remember to try different adjustments on the top hat with the clutch...tight, loose etc... a very small amount of scotch tape around the bottom hat on the rim can quiet the initial sound w...

Yeah there are lots of sample out there by pros that sound great. I was just saying that most of the time the one's i hear cut up and put together by people who don't play the drums often sound like great samples put together by someone who doesn't play the drums. As I said about my own experience w...

Yeah, experiment. I just sent a friend some scratch tracks to go with his finished songs that need drums (he put down just a basic beat while recording). I used 2 mics and then spent a lot of time (just for fun) seeing how good a mix i could get. I had Tony in my ear screaming "don't solo the track!...

well, being a drummer, my first thought would be that it seems many people making music that are not drummers feel like they know what fills/grooves cymbals etc... should sound like. I have found that most don't get it right. There's nothing worse than a great song recorded well with poor sounding d...

I sure like the sound of Cheap Trick live at Budakahn(sp)

and that may be the most serious post I've ever posted...

I still have a copy of logic and just about every damn reference book/tutorial ever made to try to figure the POS out...nope it just sucks if I have to think harder about about getting some POS (did i already say that) program to work than I did about writing the song, well...not for me. I don't car...

I do it all the time (I'm a drummer) The way it works out is I usually bust my can getting the sounds and track I want, but then I find that after that a few days later when I am relaxed knowing that i have a decent track, I let it go and play over the original and see what happens. I've found that ...

Thanks for the tips, the pro toools thought has me wondering...would you record the track and send it as a pro tools session, or would you just send it as some type of file and let the buyer drop it in where they want?

I will have Chris give esession a look, good tip. Thank you. Tom

Hey all, so I have a friend who is a very good bass player in both live/recording situations. He lives in the Durango area of Colorado. He plays in several bands there but wants to expand. We were talking the other day about the hows/what's etc.. of recording for others projects; they send him the m...

I haven't posted in a long time...trying to find a bit of inspiration...I thought this was pretty great, I think it's Jim Keltner on drums(Josie Steely Dan) chack out his left hand, it's like he's playing brushes, not to mention a great song. Hope you all enjoy. Tom.

almost all of my drum recording takes place in smallish rooms, the one thing that I have going on is a lot of paintings on canvas all over these rooms, they are various sizes, and there tends to be a bunch of odd furniture scattered around too. This seems to allow for a semi live sounding room which...

So ever since I "upgraded" to tiger if I have a session that is in 24/96 and I was in 16/44.1 previously it won't open unles I start up PT and open a new (fake) session where I change the values back to 24/96 in that new session (or 16/44.1) if that's where I want to go??? Then I can go to the sessi...
