Recording Notes

• The drum sound was created by overdubbing stomping and clapping multiple times to create a layered effect.
• The recording took place in an old church, which provided natural reverberation to enhance the sound.

Recreation Tips

• Record multiple takes of stomping and clapping.
• Use a microphone with a wide frequency response to capture the full spectrum of the sounds.
• Experiment with different microphone placements to find the sweet spot in the recording space.
• Apply compression and EQ to shape the tone and add punch.
• Add reverb to simulate the natural ambience of a large room or stadium.
• Layer the recorded stomps and claps to build the rhythmic foundation.
• Pan the individual layers in the stereo field to create a sense of width and space.
