Lesson transcript
Drum Production Lesson
Hi guys,
So you've watched the video course on how I did the drum production for this song.
Now, using the stems that I provided in the original source files, which are completely unprocessed, I would like you to:
- Reconstruct the drum beat
- Process the individual sounds on each channel
- Perform the drum buss production
Your goal is to match as closely what I created.
If you've got any questions, you can always contact me through the website.
Good luck with it!

Paul Whalley is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter with a deliberately broad sound. He spent years on the road as a touring session musician with artists including Mumford & Sons and Ellie Goulding. Classically trained, he holds an undergraduate degree in instrumental performance and a Master's in composition from the Guildhall School of Music. Since moving from touring into production and songwriting he has worked with artists such as NAO, Wretch 32 and Nina Nesbitt, and played on top-40 records around the world, including Little Mix's 'Shout Out to My Ex'. He is based at Tileyard Studios in north London, where he writes and produces for major UK labels and develops new artists. On MusicGurus he and Emmi Green deconstruct a pop record from scratch - every arrangement and production decision laid bare - for songwriters and producers who want to hear how hit records are really built.
