Recording Notes

• The drum kit was likely tuned relatively high to achieve a tight and punchy sound.
• Close-miking techniques were employed to minimize room ambience and capture a direct sound.
• Some compression was likely applied during mixing to further enhance the punch and sustain of the drums.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a well-tuned drum kit featuring coated heads for a controlled sound.
• Use close-miking techniques, positioning microphones close to each drum and cymbal.
• Experiment with slight compression during mixing to enhance the attack and presence of the drums.
• Minimize the use of reverb and other ambience effects to maintain a dry and punchy tone.
