Do you struggle with getting a great drum sound?

Have you ever been in the middle of your recording session and thought

"Hmm... I wonder what these drums would sound like if we tried something different. It might be cool to mic up the drums differently."

But there just isn't time! You are on the clock and the client is waiting.

So you go with the usual setup. Maybe next time you say...

Have you excitedly pulled up drum sounds for a tracking session and discovered that the drummer's kit just doesn't sound right?

Something about them is not exciting enough, or they just sound flabby or out of tune.

But no one on your session really knows how to tune the kit properly. So you just run with it and hope you can fix it in the mix...

Or maybe you start to mix the drums and discover that the phase is all over the place, and your drums just don't seem to sound clear and punchy?

So you just start mixing and hope for the best...

Do you spend hours and hours mixing your song?

You put tons of effort into the eq and the fx, getting the vocal to sound interesting and the guitars to sound wild,  and you even get the mix to sound REALLY REALLY LOUD!

But in the end your drums just sound wimpy and have no life to them...

They completely lack any punch and don't sound anything like a real record. :-(

In fact, they totally suck!!

The band walks into the listen and everyone is just, well, kind of quiet. Nobody has anything good to say. So they just politely don't say anything at all.

That doesn't feel very good, does it?

But what if? What if...

What if you knew how to get fantastic-sounding drums on your recording session?

Imagine how you would feel if your client walked into the control room and said...

"Wow! The drums sound awesome. You made me sound like a Rockstar! What did you do?"

And you answered, "Oh just did a few cool tricks I learned..." :-)

Well... I'VE GOT A SOLUTION FOR YOU!

“Your Drum Recording Course is Awesome!” L Baba Prasad

We captured over 7 hours of drum recording videos from our live in-studio clinic to show you many different ways to mic up a drum kit from 14 mics right down to a single mic. We also show you the classic Glyn Johns, Recorderman, and Dap Kings techniques for minimal drum miking. 

“Your explanation of the Glyn Johns technique is better than the one I was taught at school” - John Harlan

I show you how to edit the drums, and demonstrate the power of adjusting the timing of a drum performance using Beat Detective. 

I show you how to mix the drums by choosing the best plugins, and dialing in your EQ, compression, and reverb to create a punchy and powerful drum mix that will make your mix compete with your favorite records!

Pro Drum Session In A Grammy Awarded Recording Studio

Originally we hosted a drum recording, and mixing clinic live at The Toy Box Studio in East Nashville TN. This was a day-long class that covered everything you need to know to record and mix professional drums in your studio. Whether you are just starting out in a home studio, or already have experience and are looking to up your game in a bigger studio, we covered a lot of information that you need to know to be ready for anything.

I have taken all that video and edited, remixed, and remastered the whole thing down into a complete course that you can enjoy right from your own home or studio! I've added a ton of value by condensing the entire course into easy-to-follow chapters that you can learn from at your own pace.

"Wow, thanks Lij!  I really appreciate your efforts!" Bill
