Awesome rant Glenn , absolutely nailed this topic

The drummer that insists on using his kit in the studio . If there is a studio kit , usually it's been recorded 100's of times and the engineer knows how to make it rock . Why is it that the great session drummers will use the studio kit without question but 1st time in the studio guys want their kit ..... fucking irritating .

Have you ever done a video on how to mix the drums after recoring? I haven't found it.

Samples are a means to an end, more or less, same as anything else. Not the best one out there, but they'll do if that's all you've got.

I'm a drummer and I am not butthurt, this is hella funny. Love laughing at myself lmao!

I use samples all the time for blending into the original kit. Replacement isn't for me but blending is badass! Doesn't sound un natural at all

I don't know about you, but I sure as hell wouldn't try beating up my drummer. I mean hell, its his job to sit back there and beat things with his wood. I'd rather not piss that guy if I can help it. But what do i know, I'm a useless cunt... i mean bassist.

+SpectreSoundStudios Totally agree with live drums vs. samples. But i'd love to hear a showdown. Maybe take your intro song and replace with best attempt at using samples?

How do we set up an interface to work prettily with a DAW, I.E each mic records to a separate track.

People keep complaining about not being able to find a drummer. Thats because metal drummers(most of them anyway) are drooling morons who can't play below a fucking fortissimo. Hire a studio musician or a jazz drummer. They are versatile and not terrible at drums.

"It's like learning an instrument" spoken like a true bass player.

I'm not sure on this one, just because I've had to work with drummers who can't keep time, or have fucking awful dynamics. I recorded my main drummer with an e-kit with mesh heads into superior metal foundry so I captured more of the nuances of his performance, but fixing it was a hell of a lot easier. No amount of editing a real performance will fix that shit, but with MIDI you absolutely can in a matter of minutes. And we've had two albums out with this method, and like one guy noticed, who was a producer. A couple of other producers were fucking amazed when I told them it was actually samples.Admittedly though if I could work with a drummer who could actually fucking play in time and hit them hard enough, real drums every time.

A great guitarist from Argentina"Pappo" once said. "Electric Drums (I guess he meant samples) are Japan's revenge for the Hiroshima bomb. LOL
