Thank you so much!! 💐💐

Truly invaluable advice and insights! Thank you both 🙏🏻😁

Are Bechstien Grands worth it anymore when we have Casio?

This has been very helpful. I appreciate you using Davinci too. Thank you 🙏🏾.

Sup

I'd say that if you line up all your hits then it's pointless to use real drums.Quantizing is why drums suck these day. No push/pull or character.

Relatable

I'm from Belgium and the market here is saturated..

Yes. You cannot replace the sound of real drums or the feel of a good human drummer.

I love Mojave Audio mics. One of their mics was the first mic that gave me that feeling that they were doing just a little magic that the other mics weren't doing. It was a black 301, which they were all black back in the day. I'll never forgive myself for selling it either. That even sounds crazy, I found some magic and I sold it. I want one of the Tube mics of theirs. That'll be my expensive posh LDC mic eventually. Cool stuff

Drum stick floor tom leg. Do it.

This series is really great! Thank you for making these. I'm also a composer for sync and it's inspiring to see your process.

Once they're in a mix, electronic drums don't sound drastically different than acoustic ones. And you can MIDI them up to vsts such as Addictive Drums if you want to anyway. Between that and amp plugs such as Amplitube, I don't have to limit myself to only certain times of the day to mess around making my awful 3-chord garage rock anymore. Win/win.

I would add if you’re just going to grid everything anyway then why go through the process of playing “live” in the first place. Let the machine do it cause that’s what it sounds like after you take all the soul out of the performance. We’ve lost the ability to here the soul in imperfections .

Once chupped and put to grid your drums ain't "real" anymore. It sounds very good........but keep the "real" out of your discussion. It is not.

Yes, they are 100 percent worth it. Not for just the acoustic replacement. But the size of the impact and sound. There is so much about why acoustics drums need to stay in music.

Definitely worth finding a great room for recording drums. The room sound is so much part of the overall image. Take it as a daisy chain. Each component is integral to the final sound. Song > Arrangement > Drummer > Drum kit and snare choice > Room > Mic choice and set up > Preamps > Stem processing > drum bus > master bus > mastering. Have fun recording and mixing!

Those ribbons were on OH are actually in blumlein, not XY:)

Yes....no matter what the situation....

Just a tip, you probably already know this but just in case…you can create an aux track (or another audio track with monitoring enabled) and send the kick drum to it and add trigger to that. That way if you edit the original tracks at all the changes will automatically carry over to trigger.

Real drums are good those that can play them, otherwise get an e-kit, or better yet, just get a computer.

I have old drums and rebuilt them perfectly with evans drumhead sounds has much has dw kit i made sound test no diff just put lot of love and it works awesom

I always go with the minimalist approach setting up mics on a kit. Do you prefer more or less mics on the kit?

I record my drums in a untreated tiny office and they sound great.

I made it two minutes into the video and got a mysterious hankering for Pressure the Hinges - very cool to see what you’re up to these days!

Excellent point. Decent overheads and samples really work. But the more I mess with velocity and saturation the more I realize how much you can get away with in the box.

Real drums always sound better and are more responsive. There is art in how they are mic’d

Keep making content bro. This is great

Maybe you fixed it after but the snare sample is delayed a bit because of the trigger plugin, loses tightness

Great Video !

The current technology for programming drums with something like Superior Drummer 3, DrumLab, etc is pretty incredible at this point. More bands/artists than you would think use this tools to either add to or as the singular way to capture their drums with impressive results. That said -- if you have the space and the know how why wouldn't you just record the real thing? It's more fun and your ability to shape your sound into something that's more unique is greater.

If you know what youre doing with samples, the difference is in audible. Especially if parts are played on an e kit.

I just recently came across your videos. I really enjoy what I have seen so far. I am a Fellow musician and "content creator" and just wanted to encourage you and thank you for the inspirational work.

Just found your channel and loving the content. Look forward to more!

I really liked the detour into tiny tape room, thanks for that

Everybody replaces the acoustic kit sounds with samples. Sample Sounds are way better and isolation is perfect. But to capture ‘the performance’ characteristic you still need a drum kit for the transients in the first place - it faster to play than program midi. Some of the comments are from drummers confusing the sound aspects versus the performance.

recording good drums is extremely hard. mostly the room is the biggest factor. then mics, pres, compressors and the quality of the drums and heads and tunings are also a factor. Not to mention the drummer of course. there is a reason SD3 and edrums are popular. It is hard to get a good, dry sound. To me it is absolutely worth going into a studio for a couple days. forgot to metion tape. it really does drums justice to hit the tape.

Short answer, YES!. You cannot compare acoustic to e-drums no matter what anyone says. I owned the very latest TD50x K2 set with all the digital blah blah. It was a great set, and I even spent a LOT of time getting THE sound I wanted, including making a brush set (which none exist on it from Roland). I have a small room, with great mics and a little bit of treatment around walls and in corner bass traps. My 7 piece set translates really well, and of course gives me 100% dynamics and sound that an e-drum set cannot. That being said, I know some very clever guys making the new e-drums work closer with LOTS of midi setting tweaks and macros in certain DAWs. At the end of the day though, you use what you've got and what works best for you :).

Right on! Congrats on a great sounding and looking podcast!!! Love Cody Martin and his music. I have used his music in some of my films and its really wonderful! He has a brilliant mind and its awesome to see the behind the scenes!

Great content. Can't wait for more episodes.

That is my bro and I am very proud of him

Interesting. Waiting for more.

Nice Ep! :0)

Good to see you back man! Great episode.

Great video. Solid playing!

Loved watching the journey to your current endeavor.
