Did you ever want to record a drum like pros does? What are reasons why your drum recordings doesn‘t sound like a tight and punchy one from Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)? What is a good sounding room and a bad one? Need to know how you can quantize drums in your software?

That‘s what I like to introduce you the Drum Recording Course (http://saeonline.com/course/drum-recording)

Listen to several drum recordings and understand, why your recordings could sound better as you ever done before.
Upload your drum recordings to discuss what‘s wrong and what‘s fine and what you could make better.
Understand why a good soundcheck is important to have perfect drum kit on tape

Learn how to handle with microphones and preamps to catch the best sound of a drum
Learn important things about recording, the microphones you need, editing and mixing (EQing and compressing)
Learn how to setup a session with your drummer, how to build a perfect headphone mix and communication to the drummer
Learn to eliminate all the mistakes done during a recording sessions (click, noise etc.)

Come in and let‘s learn the drums rocking

I have loved this course, and have learned a huge amount both in know how and practice. I prefer to learn by doing and trying things out and this has been possible and valued
