Recording Notes

• The drum sound was likely captured with close-miking techniques to achieve a focused and controlled sound.
• The recording space was probably treated to minimize excessive reverberation, contributing to the tight and punchy character of the drums.
• A direct input signal may have been blended with mic'd cabinet to retain clarity and punch.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a vintage-style Ludwig drum kit and tune the drums to achieve a warm and resonant tone.
• Use close-miking techniques with microphones like the Neumann U67 and AKG D12 to capture the individual drum sounds.
• Experiment with slight compression to add punch and control the dynamics of the drums.
• Mix the drums with a focus on clarity and balance, ensuring that each element sits well within the overall mix.
• Consider using a Neve console for EQ and compression to achieve the warm, intimate sound.
