Ready to settle the score between drum programming and live drums? In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody dive deep into the pros, cons, and surprising secrets of both worlds. From the unmistakable human feel of live drums to the precision and creativity of programmed beats, we explore:

  • Which music styles thrive with live drums and which ones are a match made in heaven for drum programming.
  • When to hit record on live drums for that larger-than-life sound—and when to let your DAW handle the groove.
  • Avoiding robotic rhythms: Common pitfalls of drum programming and how to keep it feeling fresh.
  • Why program drums anyway? Cost, control, and those tiny apartments that don’t fit a drum kit.
  • The best of both worlds: Tips for blending live and programmed drums or samples to craft a killer hybrid sound.
  • Plus, there’s a mysterious Friday Finds that you won’t want to miss. And let’s be real—it’s also not unlikely that some nonsense will be discussed along the way.

    Whether you’re a purist who swears by sticks and skins or a MIDI maestro, this episode is packed with insights to level up your drum game!
