The
process of recording and transferring drum tracks via web is easy...
I request two MP3s of the song(s) you want me to produce drum parts
for. You can send that to me via Pando or Stuffit email condenser
software, or via my own work server that I can give you access to.
Some musicians have raw drum tracks already recorded so it is helpful
to have that recording to get a sense of composition flow and flavor.
Most importantly, the second MP3 should be your complete recording,
minus the drums. Not required, but I do find it useful to know the
clock speed, tempo and sample rate you recorded the song at for
software alignment reasons. I also ask that you provide me via email
with a sense of tone, sequence of song, and any areas where drums
should drop out. Basically, the verse, bridge, chorus conversation.
I will perform along to your MP3 mix and then "post" the
demo as a combined track as an example to you. Then, you can critique
my tracks, offer feedback, or accept the recording and pay for ownership
of the individual tracks. It's that simple. I won't charge anything
until you give me the green light to provide you with all the individual
drum tracks. You specify whether you want the drum tracks raw as
recorded, or enhanced with my standard "drum sound" EQ,
as a leveled mix. There is no extra charge for providing mixed tracks,
whether bounced individually or combined. You retain control over
all aspects of the tracks.
Depending on complexity of your compositions, the typical turnaround
for a single song demo for review is under one week.
I have two different drum set sounds to choose from. For a more
mellow, classic, deep resonance shell sound, I use a professional
5-piece 1979 Rodgers drum kit and Pearl snare butressed with a vast
array of different Zildjian cymbals. For a modern, contemporary
sound with quick, sharp shell release, I use a six-piece 2010 Gretsch
Catalina Maples Series. See my "kits"
link here.
I
employ mainly SM-57s mics in studio. My typical return is 6-8 tracks:
Kick, Snare, Hi-hat, tom mics, and left and right ambient cymbal
mics.
