Recording Notes

• The drum sound was likely achieved by a combination of close-miking each drum and overhead microphones to capture the kit's overall sound and room ambience.
• Compression was likely applied at the mixing stage to enhance the punch and sustain of the drums.

• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot for each drum.
• Use compression to tighten up the sound and add sustain.
• Consider adding a touch of EQ to further shape the tone.
