The Fundamentals of Recording Drums at Home
FREE LESSONS
Every lesson draws from years of real world experience and is taught in a way that makes sense no matter where you're starting from. And just like most home studios — including the one you'll see throughout these lessons — the live room and the control room share the same four walls, because professional results were never about having the perfect space.
IN THE LIVE ROOM
From kit setup and mic placement to tuning and acoustics — learn what happens before you ever hit record.
IN THE CONTROL ROOM
From gain staging and tracking to mixing and phase correction — learn what happens once the mics are up and the session is rolling.
