Tom and Mark continue the conversation about Drum Pre Production and what happens before the microphone when planning for a drum recording.

Tuning may seem tedious but being aware of it and it's effects on your drum sound is the first step to becoming great at drum recording and production.

Treating the drum is a big part of drum recording and pre-production that many new engineers and producers do not realize is necessary when getting "that sound".

The Room is a huge factor but why?  Does the perfect room work every time?  Can I use a less than adequate room and still get a great recording?

Listen to part 2 of 3 and get Mark and Tom's perspectives and what they look at and listen for when planning to record drums! Enjoy!
