Recording Drums

Whenever we get set to record drums, I'm at my all time most nervous.
It usually is a full day and I want to record them all in one shot...which ended up being 9 hours for "The Great Darkness."

Well, Greg and I got together tonight to get the drum sound set for Saturday and in doing so...we recorded half the drum parts!

The drum sound was awesome and I was confident in my parts to go ahead and record.

So far, none of the songs have names and they're just titled song 1-5, but here is a little info on how fast I did the first five drum tracks.

Track 1 - 4th take was the keeper
Track 2 - 3rd take
Track 3 -3rd take
Track 4 - 6th take...and most of the time we were fairly close to the end...I think? This one does have a title and lyrics, it's called "December"
Track 5 - 15th take...we have two versions recorded and the first was take 10, but the second is the keeper.

I hope things go as smooth on Saturday!

  1. I AM SO FREAKIN' PUMPED TO HEAR THIS IN IT'S ENTIRITY THAT I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS!

    I don't get the stress you feel over performance. Your a kick ass drummer, just like Sasquatch. You know it, Sasquatch knows it, I know(s) it, RELISH IT! Wallow in it. Marinate in it.

    Like I said I'm completely pumped to hear this again.

  2. Oh no, this is brand new stuff...wait, did I let you hear the demos?

    I think this will be a fairly emotional album.

    I want to bring people to tears...in a good way.
