Recording Notes

• The drum sound was achieved by close-miking Ringo Starr's Ludwig drum kit. Two microphones positioned far back in the room as a stereo pair to pick up room ambience.
• Compression techniques used during recording and mixing to achieve a tight and punchy sound.
• Recorded at Abbey Road Studios.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Ludwig drum kit or similar vintage kit.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot for each drum, focusing on capturing a full and balanced sound.
• Apply compression to the individual drum tracks and the overall drum mix to achieve a punchy and controlled sound.
• Use EQ to shape the tone of each drum, focusing on enhancing the attack and body while removing any unwanted frequencies.
• Add a touch of plate reverb to the snare to add some vintage flavor.
