DRUM RECORDING SESSIONS

A drum recording session is the process of capturing high-quality drum sounds for your music. It's essential for achieving professional and polished tracks, as well as bringing life into your music.

The duration can vary, but a standard drum recording session usually lasts around 4-8 hours, depending on complexity.

When you book a drum recording session, it's important to account for the time needed to set everything up and tidy up when you're finished. These steps are crucial for the recording process. So, when you're determining how many hours you want to book and calculating the cost, make sure to include this setup and "wrapping up" time in your session.

This typically adds up to about 1-1.5 hours for setup and another hour for teardown. These setup and teardown phases are crucial aspects of the recording process, and you should factor them into your total booking time and cost calculation. That way, you'll have a clear understanding of how long you'll need and how much it will cost for your session.

We use a combination of high-quality microphones, preamps, and recording software to ensure the best drum sound possible: DW Design Series Drum Kit, Zildjian A Custom Cymbals, Audix and Shure Microphones, Universal Audio Apollo x8 Interface, Audient ASP880 Preamplifier.

You can bring your own drum kit if you prefer, but we also have a studio drum kit available for use. Our Studio system accommodates a drum recording with up to 10 channels.

We highly recommend engaging a professional drummer who is already familiar with your music. However, if you do not have one available, we can arrange for a drummer to participate in your session with prior notice and an additional fee.

In order to maintain the highest standards of recording quality and efficiency, our studio exclusively offers drum recording services with our experienced engineers, who oversee the recording process. However, if you have your own engineer, they are welcome to participate in the session alongside our team.

It's best to have your songs arranged to some extent, but our experienced engineers can help with arrangement and suggest improvements during the mixing session.

Absolutely,we do provide the option to schedule a separate session for the mixing and mastering of your recorded tracks. You may book standard studio sessions with one of our experienced engineers for this purpose. We kindly request that you bring the individual stems for your instrumental to your session for the best results.

You will typically receive high-quality audio files/stems in formats like WAV or AIFF 44.1, 48kHz and up, suitable for mixing and further production.
