Record Live Drums Like A Pro

From producing music for the BBC to headlining Glastonbury, Nik is an accomplished drummer and drum producer across a range of contemporary styles.

In this course, he'll walk you through his four favourite techniques for recording drums at home or in the studio:

• a simple 1-mic setup, a great way to lay down a quick demo
• a 3-mic setup, adding the kick drum and snare into the mix
• a 5-mic setup, also known as the Glyn Johns recording method
• the "ultimate" close-mic setup using 13 mics

Basically, he'll show you how he works on a daily basis and what he actually does during a recording session. For each setup, Nik walks you through the types of microphones he uses and explains how to place them to get the best sound.

Because you'll be covering such a wide range of techniques, this course works whether you're recording at home with a very simple setup or reaching for the more advanced methods in a recording studio.

Whether you're just starting out with drum recording or want to up your game in drum production, this course will get you on the fast track!
