my friend michael told me that in the world of recording records, the drum sounds are what separate the men from the boys. drums are the ultimate pain in the ass because there are so many components working all at once. then there's the issue of how good the drum set is, how good the room sounds, what kind of mics are used, where they are positioned, phasing, and most importantly, the performance.

i usually record drums with two mics and tons of compression, but since i'm trying to become a man..... four mics and no compression! that a huge step in some kind of direction. and even better, i'm letting someone who knows how to play the drums lay it down. it's about time i gave it my all.

brian 'the skin slapper' brunac came through and did a great job. i pointed the mics and pressed record. everyone else was nice and quiet. it couldn't of turned out better.
