Recording Notes

• The recording took place in a small studio with limited equipment, contributing to the raw and unfiltered sound.
• The drum break's impact comes from the drummer's playing style and the natural acoustics of the recording space.

Recreation Tips

• Use a vintage Ludwig drum kit or a similar kit with a focus on a punchy snare and deep kick.
• Record in a smaller room with minimal dampening to capture natural reflections and a lively feel.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that emphasizes the snare's crack and the kick's depth.
• Avoid excessive processing; aim for a natural, slightly raw sound with minimal compression or EQ.
