dude, your channel are one of the best, i learn a lot from you in how to get good recordings, i don´t know how some people are missing this channel

I like the way you approach this. I have always said that good tuned drums are half the battle

Impeccable, timely, perfectly-paced, simple techniques, attainable gear, a straight- line no frills road map to an awesome drum sound. This goes in the Pantheon of Actually Useful YouTube Recording Tutorials, hands-down. Not the first of your videos that I've added to a playlist, but it goes to the top. Could have used a more detailed visual of the principles you described with with the stereo bar and placement directly over cymbal.

I got a guitar cab for free with an open back they wanted to get rid of... I got spare caster wheels and another DI box... Sub kick without having to do much! Love your channel

You sir, deserve a lot of respect.

Loved the amp subkick trick🔥

Many thanks for putting this together. Very helpful. You covered loads here without the distraction of diving into screen-based stuff. All applicable to live sound as well as recording. Nice work!!

This is fantastic stuff, man. Great, practical ideas that anyone can try, and that show the importance of things like mic placement and head choice. I've been seeing people use the speaker idea for years, but this convinced me.

@TimOost 2 years ago

This is so helpful! Most of the equipment you used i already own but was lost in how to put it all together. This is a great way to get started building my own sound. Super excited to start working on it right now!

The kick and snare sound immaculate. I would also like to add that drum heads, room, and overall quality of the actual kit, and ESPECIALLY the DRUMMER all add to the sound. Which is another way of saying that your drumming has gotten quite good over the years 😉
