Welcome back to another edition of The Producer’s Notes. Typically, these are the alternate episodes that we publish every other week, but for the entire month of January, we’re publishing an episode of The Producer’s Notes every week.
We’ll begin bringing guests back on the show starting in February…
This week, host Jon Stinson shares some ideas around recording drums, which has been somewhat of a focus of his in recent times. Contrary to popular belief, Jon is NOT a drummer, but over his 10+ years of recording experience, he has collected quite a few skills that have shaped him into an engineer that is good at working with drummers to craft a good sound, and coaching drummers to great performances in the studio.
A little while ago, Jon recognized that recording drums is something that overwhelms a lot of people when starting out. Other more experienced people even develop a few bad habits when recording drums.
So Jon put together a free resource on his website, Recording Drums 101: A Home Studio Recording Guide For Pro Sounding Drums
This edition of The Producer’s Notes features the Brendan O’Brien two mic drum recording setup from that resource.
For tons of easy, practical, and great sounding drum recording setups, check out Recording Drums 101
