Remember: The greatest equalizer is the drummer . A great drummer can make a trash can sound like a studio drum. A bad drummer can make a DW Collectors kit sound like a trash can. Practice your rudiments, listen to your dynamics, and treat your gear with respect.
The ultimate evolution of the studio drum is the software-based drum sampler, such as Toontrack’s Superior Drummer or Native Instruments’ Battery. These instruments are not synthesized approximations; they are vast libraries of meticulously recorded studio drums. Each drum is hit at multiple velocities, with multiple microphone positions (close, overhead, room), and often with multiple takes. The user can then "mix" the virtual drum by adjusting the level of the room mics, changing the damping, or swapping out the kick drum from a 1960s Ludwig for a modern DW. studio drum
For decades, Birch has been the king of the studio. Why? Birch has a naturally scooped EQ curve—strong attack, quiet low-mids, and a bright, crisp decay. Remember: The greatest equalizer is the drummer
