8:40 "If it sounds good, it is good." More people need to realize this. A lot of people lately have gotten into the "it has to be EXACTLY on the grid."

I have recently done a drum session recording for a famous British musician who is well into his 50th year of career. Known for being a perfectionist and sometimes "feared" by musicians, he told me exactly the same thing "if it feels good, leave it there, don't mess with that, don't look at the grid".

@mattcapuana-sodorstudios3743 4 жыл бұрын

“if it sounds good, it is good” yeh cool but he was literally talking about phase relationship between mics. I understand mapping drums to the grid doesn’t suit for all genres that require the style of play to be smooth and slick. Genres such as Rock, Metal and even punk though do benefit from gridding the drums in time. But the only way to do this is to have the drummer be a great player in the first place which 99% of time thats when it’s only used. I do love keeping things natural when recording bands, but when it comes to the genres that need it I am not afraid to tell the drummer that the beat detective process is what i’m doing and they 9.5/10 understand why if you show them why as well 👍🏻

@McGuire40695 4 жыл бұрын

@@mattcapuana-sodorstudios3743 I do agree with getting the drummer to do a great performance, and I do make sure everything is good. Some people get very anal about it to where if a snare hit is 1/258th of not off, they will adjust it, and it's not even noticeable. If they drummer is way off, than I would begin to grid. Like you said, most musicians are great players who get it done "right" the first few takes without a ton of editing.

@@j_freed really amazing the difference. Really amazing how music used to be produced as opposed to how it is "now." I remember reading in a guitar magazine in 1989 about rush producing Presto. Alex joked that in previous 80s rush records most of the time was spent by yelling "fuck! Stupid computer!" But Presto they made a more old fashioned way. And i remember first hearing it and thinking "this sounds like something you'd hear on a college radio station."

@kasperprindal-nielsen4983 4 жыл бұрын

I love your videos and I've been watching a lot of them lately! I don't know if anyone already commented on this, but here goes: Wavelength is a spacial feature. So if you have time on the x-axis you actually didn't point out the wavelength, but instead the period of the signal. The period is the temporal counterpart to the wavelength, and measured in seconds pr. cycle. Wavelength on the other hand is in meters pr. cycle, or how long the wave is. It's not really a problem for matching up phase, because wavelength and period are proportional. But if we don't use the correct terms it will be a problem in more complicated cases where they are not proportional (i.e. there is some dispersion relation between the two). Hope this was helpful if anyone was confused about the language used. I'm not disputing any of the techniques just some nuances of the language used to describe them :-)

Thanks Rick for this great video! I've been double miking toms ever since you revealed the technique in an earlier video a couple of years ago. I normally use old gray MD421's on the top heads and now-discontinued Sennheiser MD409's or AKG D14's on the bottom heads. They both are convenient to place thanks to their flat shape and thus fit nicely even with a more crowded kit. And on top of that - or actually on bottom of that - they sound phenomenal! I typically use a Sennheiser MD441 under the snare drum: the supercardioid polar pattern nicely rejects the rest of the kit - especially the kick drum - and the inherent low sensitivity works nicely so you won't clip the preamp so easily, as the snare drum can produce pretty loud transients. Also the bass roll-off switch comes in handy at times. All the best from Finland!

My benchmark drum sound is John Guerin’s playing on Joni’s Hissing of Summer Lawns record. The record sound as well. I’m using three dynamic mics. Using the “don’t mic the kit, mic the room” idea. I’m enjoying the sound, much dryer and darker than modern records. Love it.

@oddfellow1977 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds great! Don't forget the most vital part of this recording: a great performance! The drummer is not whacking the drums with all his might. He's being reserved on the hi-hat. He's not killing the cymbals and choking their sound. The drummer is clearly aware he is playing in a very active live room and thus not pounding away. Great video Rick! Appreciate all the tips and tricks for such a complex instrument to record!

I haven't had many tracks of my drums recorded in studios but in my limited experience I always fight with the producer to get my hihats up in the mix as to me they are a key signature tone for me and also if I switch to a ride pattern instead most producers seem to practically erase it from the mix, it seems to be the standard producer thing. I get that there needs to be space for the frequencies of the guitars and all, however it's overlooked in general so I know it's not just me! Incredible video, so much knowledge !

I have a fairly large Ludwig kit (6/8/10/12/14/16 toms, 22 kick, 6 1/2 x 14 snare) and, partly because of budget, use only 5 mics but will be adding a hi-hat mic next Cd's worth of demos. (Rode N5 overheads pair - SM57 snare top - AKG P170 aimed at batter kick - AKG P220 unported front kick). As toms aren't mic'd at all, I found that if I copy the overheads and edit all of the copy track down to toms only, they can be processed to really bolster the tom sound, in addition to the toms that are on the main overhead tracks. I'm really loving how the drums sound. They're tuned super well and played with as much of a quality performance as I can muster (being primarily a guitar player). The biggest bonus for me is virtually no phase issues and I'd much rather write and record than engineer, given my druthers.

Something you're also getting from adding that bottom mic to the floor tom, because of how close it is to the floor, is just a bit of floor reflection of the higher frequencies in there, which just opens the thing up when you add it it. It's just a hint, considering you'll have carpet and possibly an isolated subfloor under the drums, but it's just a little extra something.

I like to tune my heads the same(i use a drum tuner) , but i use different types of heads from top to bottom to get a more fully realized drum sound even though i have them pitched the same. i use two ply heads on the top and one ply heads on the bottom of my toms. i use a two ply black head as my resonant head , with a two ply batter head , as i find the bass drum something you have to control because of the overtones(i use a 20x17" bass drums). the snares i have i like them wide open and cracking as i love that sharp , crisp snare sound(5.5 x 14 steel snare and a 3.5 x 13" maple piccolo snare). i have a Peart sized kit.

Rick, I think one more important element to recording drums is the room and room treatment. It saves so much work when the room sounds good and gives the mics and easy job of picking up the frequencies. Also when setting up the drums move the bass drum, snare and hat around to find the sweet spot in the room that sounds the best.

@johnnyjones3362 4 жыл бұрын
