Song(s) in Production: 'Here Comes The Night' Recording Sessions
Thursday - January 22nd, 2009: 1pm to 3:30pm - Today was the day to get Russ's 'Trick' Drums set up, miked up, and sound checked.
Russ arrived around 1pm, we each had two big plates of spaghetti before we got started on setting up the drums. Russ got his kit pretty much how he wanted it and did some playing in order to get a sense of how the drums sounded in the room. Everything sound pretty good...
I proceeded to mic up the kit and we began to get drum tones. The mic set up for the kit went pretty smoothly, except for a few mic chords plugged into a wrong channel here or there. Unlike the Ludwig Kit...that we used 9 microphones on...I only need 8 on the 'Trick' Kit, which made life a bit easier.
We recorded a few rough takes of the drums to hear how they sounded. Everything sounded great! No phantom anything to report. The kit is all set for Monday's recording session. I'm done for the weekend!
Peace, Hutch
