Ok. I’m a 38 year professional musician
Sideman.
Played on over 100 albums. Played in 14 countries.
Now, in lockdown, I’m recording at home. Mixing drums. I have no fucking clue what I’m doing despite years of playing.
This was the best explanation....concise, quick, articulate, entertaining and exactly what I needed.
I wish you could hear what you showed me dude.
Thanks Wayne!
No need to use foul language. Music is a language and is a reflection of our inner self. Think about it. Peace man.
@@citizenworld8094 just let him say things how he wanna say it man. This is a yt comment section not the music in itself.

Go live under a rock, that man's a legend he can say whatever he wants.
Same response, but..... I'm 51 years old. Fully agree. And the final advice, go and try it..!!
Step 1: Bus all your drums to a drum bus.
Step 2: Spend plenty of time on the balance.
Step 3: Use a stock EQ to tame any ringing.
Step 4: EQ and compress the drum bus.
Step 5: EQ and compress individual tracks.
@Lazy Monk lol you should know what do you need to do in ur mix
step 5 is optional
Step 6: Go try it!
I wish joey would not go into psychology so much and keep the vids short.
@@Kidraver555 WHAT?! It was a 13 minute video that changed anybodys life who watched it! He gave reassuring and helpful advice and insights in a concerned and timely manner. Ive watched several videos that explain, nearly to a T, this exact same process. It is a phenomenal technique, which improved my speed, cpu usage and most importantly sound! Between this video, and this one --> ua-cam.com/video/TqKROW94UuA/v-deo.html my drum mixing was revolutionized. You're complaining about FREELY offered knowledge
To the person watching this : Congrats on the new Drum set-up!!
Hehehe me too haha
@Kylo Quincy oh fucking great! 1, thats illegal, 2, this is clearly fake for anyone reading this :)
"grasshoppa".... that deserves a like it self alone
One of the best drum mix tutorials I have ever seen. Good to see someone showing that you don't need 100s of plug ins!
yow that eq on that snare was clean asf!!
I love how you explained a bus channel in a way some of us might not already know what it is. Thanks for being helpful to a beginner. Most other videos are too far ahead to understand for a beginner.
I heard the ringing on the snare and was like "sheesh that is not sounding too hot...bit of a dissonant/hollow ringing..." and as I was asking myself "wait is he not gonna catch this?" I ate my words midway through that question when I realized you were setting it up on purpose for the next step and integrating it into a proper EQ lesson! Superb! Anyway great tutorial for sure. Simple, effective, and not encouraging cooking acoustic drums so much with plugins that they start to sound like a software kit! And a great point about the drums being 1 instrument/performance taboot!
Good for you, geoff.

Just watched this. Opened up my DAW, removed the trillion plugins on my current track's drums, rebalanced the tracks, added EQ and compression, BAM! They sounded more lively and punchy than ever.
Your approach makes so much sense yet I still needed to hear it. This will definitely help me going forward. Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh my god... found your tutorials yesterday but I wish I found them 20 years ago.. Sending of stuff to be mixed by a "pro"and have to wait for it to come back like 3 months later. Non of that anymore! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I am going to watch all the other vids on your channel. Thank you so much again!!
I need to respond to this, I've been around the music for 50 years and I truly respect your concept of the drums are ONE INSTRUMENT and your video is well beyond your years.
I mix drums beginning with the overheads and MIX down to each drum with compression and effects to isolate each drum and each attack. I,m not saying it's right, I am saying it has afforded me a career in recording.

Love it. There's lots of ways to do creative work, aren't there? You tell three guitarists to play an E chord, and you'll get three different voicing. None wrong. I love it.
If you ever decide to quit making music...go, become an actor. You've got such a nice, warm voice and you are so entertaining!!
This is awesome. As someone who is new to mixing, this helps me TREMENDOUSLY.
Just took a quick scan through a few comments. Lotta unhappy people out there it seems. But I actually just dropped in to say "Thank you" To Mr. Gilder! I've learned much from him in my journeys.
Awesome video, glad I watched it! If I may suggest a step 6, it's to add some light saturation on the drum bus. It doesn't need to be distorted, but if someone has never done that, it might blow your mind with how much better it can make it sound.
YOUR THE GOAT BRO. I LOVE TEACHERS WHO CAN MAKE COMPLEX THINGS SIMPLIFIED !!
That's called understanding. If you can't explain any complex thing simply to a person then ya don't know shit.
Love it. The necessity for parallel processing VS food group processing is very important.
Exactly what I needed, my friend! Excellent work!
Worked instantly. No fuss, no BS. Great advice.
After 2 years of production I’m just starting learn it’s all about the subtlety. Thanks Joe
I've been watching tutorials for years and this is the first tutorial i'm seeing the tutor has a notebook. Now this is a Professional tutorial !
This is a real gamechanger for me. I love these no nonsense, 80/20 style videos.
Where was this video 4 years ago. The thing that changed it for me was learning to start with the over head mics.
I'm with Joe. A sound technician friend of mine once told me many years ago that the less you change things, the better the overall sound.
Joe, I love your channel man. Great stuff and great presentation.
OK, I'm now searching my jam room for hidden cameras! I was making the same mistakes you described in the beginning of the video. Thanks for teaching the "bus" technique. It totally fixed my mixes and I use that technique on other instruments too. Gamechanger for the "learn as you go hobbyist"
nice joe, specially the last line which you said {prove right or prove wrong, either way we become better}
hope there will be people who understand the gravity of this line, and respect your level of insight.
Hello Sir,
Thanks very much.
I am delighted for alotof tutorials mystify the mix of i struments alot.
Its so down to earth
So good Joe!
Awesome video Joe!!!
Simple , Informative , and straight to the point. I really like your approach. Great video.
ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE TEACHERS THANK YOU SENSI
Great advice! Thanks, Joe!
I love your videos idk why but your way of teaching makes mixing incredibly more fun and thought provoking
Sir is on point. I started my audio training in actual studio locations & I’m so grateful for it. NOT saying that is the “be-all, end-all” but it did help give me a foundation w/regard to mixing. I usually start w/a simple volume & pan mix, bus stuff out & just LISTEN. An engineer’s most EFFECTIVE tools are not plug-ins, it is their EARS! Good luck & much success to EVERYONE out there in musicland in 2022. Bless up. 🙏🏽
love your delivery! THANK YOU
Great advice! Thank you sooooo much! Can't wait to take this approach!
Thanks Joe for doing this video. Very helpful!
Wonderful work
Dude this helped me so much. So simple yet so powerful. Thank you!
Thanks Joe! Can't express how grateful I am of your teachings and videos'. I grew up in a Professional recording studio here in San Jose, CA (CA) that was owned by Gradie and Jeannine O'Neal. Watching the whole recording process since I was 12 years old but, never did I think that at 45 years old, now I'm getting into Writing, Recording, Mixing my own music. I'm more of a singer/songwriter for myself of Mexican romantic music and just to get my Ideas/ Demos I've Only used Impact. I searched for the best drum sounds on the loops sounds and created my own 16 channel Impact Pad and made it a Default for my using of genre. On the other hand, I have an acoustic Drum kit that I bought 3 years ago and because of your videos I've been super encourage to just lay down real drums. Each day I'd get your email with teachings and even though I've seen your videos before, I always learn something new. I had bought the Audix mic kit and I also use WA 14 for Over heads and the good ol' 57 for the snare. Drums Mapex Armory 6-piece Studioease Fast Tom Shell Pack - Rainforest Burst and I had also replaced all the heads with what I've seen growing up which was REMO Ambassador Pinstrip heads. I'm no drummer but, I don't take each day that passes lightly, I've been studying really hard about micing technics, and gain staging and now mixing. This year I made it my goal to learn all I can about drums, recording micing, mixing, tuning and ect....... taking notes and applying them. I thank you again and God Bless you for all that you do.
Great video. After over 25 years of playing I finally have home mics, Laptop, Kit, and audio interface set up!!!! Wohooo! It's pretty exciting. I've done some recording and I love the sound that the kit has flat with no EQ, so this video on how to optimise that, which is great. I'll have a toy around and see what "improvements" can be made! thanks for the video. I'll check out the phasing video you have done also as I see people referencing that as a prime concern for recording the old tubs. cheers, oh and happy new year!
Thats a great video! I also love the simplistic concept of using 4-6 mics (where your overheads cover the toms and cymbals) for that more live feel. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! These 5 great simple compass headings got me out of the dark & scary drum forest.
1-2024 7 years before you made this video, Graham Cochran got me started in this. Now I have built my 10x10 Studio, good equipment, learned guitar, Sound design, music Theory, learned some piano, electronic Analog/Digital recording with all Studio One DAW just now starting learning How to mix the Tons of Drums (TT-EZ2. XLN, IKMM 3.5 MAX & BFD3) starting in 5 Steps. ALL SMILES Can NOT Thank YOU Enough
Had Studio One open and was following along! Thank you!
These were som really good tips for quick guides on the drum mix.
Thanks man!
Excellent just applied..sounds great thx!
JUST saw this...and I get the feeling my mixes are gonna sound SO much better...Thank You So Much!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and all the best to you!
Awesome. Thank you Joe!
Many thanks for this well designed drums mix.
Thank you for this - I've never mixed drums before and was definitely feeling intimated / not knowing where to start - feel much better about cracking on and giving it a go now!
Excellent video ! Thank you so much for this !
Hi Joe, your videos are awesome! Thank you!
This is one of the best audio tutorials I've ever seen. THANK YOU
Cracking wee tutorial, thanks so much Joe, great stuff!
Awesome video which really shows the important basics! Thanks man!
You are very good at presenting your ideas in an inspiring manner.
Thank You for this awesome video!!
Thanks, man! You seem likeable as well as knowledgeable.
Good luck with your channel!
Hi Joe, i actually tried this method today. I have to say it sounds just more natural with less processing than before. Especially when i work with live-tracks it seems to fit way better to the feel i want to create.
Thanks a lot
Awesome Joe. Just getting starting out and this is so helpful. Nicely presented too. AWESOME
This was great! Thanks Joe!
Well presented, simple explanations and audio proof (even while wearing my inexpensive ear buds). Well done. I cannot wait to try it!
That was one of the most effective uses of EQ I’ve ever seen on the snare ring. You did that perfectly.
Love this Joe, and more than anything, love your presentation style - no b/s, straight to the point :-)
Amazing. Thank you. I've just reversed out of a big rabbit hole straight into clear open fields of sound!
Outstanding video! Thank you Sir!
Awesome video! Well stated and thought out!!!
Great technique. This approach to drums and the overall mix has improved my mix quality, speed and enjoyment.
Thanks a lot Joe ! Your videos are really really great ! Cheers from France !
Thank you! This was very VERY helpful for someone like me who is just getting into tracking remotely...this one video has elevated my mixes a huge amount!
Best drum mixing video I have watched! Thank you.
Yet another easy to understand lesson Joe!
Excellent stuff brother, thank you so much!!!
You’re a natural teacher.
Love ypur channel dude! Your a great teacher, ive been learning a ton!
a simple and and very effective video on the difficult topic of mixing drums, very good!
Good job, Joe! your 5-step tutorial is a winner. That´s assuming that phase issues have been already checked and solved (a very important drums mixing step and totally worth mention it, even a little bit). Watching your videos always, keep up with the good tips! Regards from Perú.
Great videos Joe! Watched handful :) Learned heaps!
Thanks Joe enjoyed watching your video..
Top content: Great tips and amazing editing!
Great video! I'm right on to try it!
I'd like to think I have been mixing drums correctly the whole time, but I'm not too proud to admit I learned a few things here as well. Thanks for the video Joe!
Loved it!!! It's nice to see your vids again, you we're missed. Don't get lost again please.
Haha. Thanks.
Hey Joe!!Glad I decided to check this out today man,took a little break from working on a project to review my overall approach to the drum bus before getting into it and found that coincidentally what you were focusing in on as far as treating all the individual kit components as part of an "integrated whole"(something that when you get into one-shots/samples etc rather than working with live drum mics tracks is easy to forget about) is something I just started thinking more in terms of myself..as always great video,much thanks again!!
best mixing tip ever. I was getting good until I saw your approach to the drums. Now everything I mix is fast and sounds excellent. You are the master of youtube gurus.
Great advice, works well; much appreciated!
Yes. Great video!!
Simple. Straightforward. Insightful. Really helpful. Subscribed. Thank you!
Excellent guide, thanks! As a drummer who is just starting to learn recording, I appreciate this simple and practical approach.
Really well explained in a short interval of time. Really helps a lot specially for us starters to get going!! Thanks a lot man!!
Thanks Joe! Very useful tutorial.
Thank you very much. This helped a lot. You save lives, Joe!
You are awesome joe. Thanks man
Hey Joe awesome video, learned a lot from it and I wanted to thank you. I will follow your steps and see how my drum mixes will sound better. Thank you again.
Great video. Thanks for sharing and add some more. Thanks!
This was kinda eye-opening in many things, i made a lot of mistakes before, now you cleared it up for me. Thank you! Subscribed!
This is so simple and useful! Thank you so much, I will try it right now
