I've been reading a few blogs lately talking about how to get your drums to sound great in the mix. Most of the information you read makes the process sound very involved. Well, yes it can be very involved and frustrating to get a snare to "pop" or a kick to "thump". Especially when it comes to final mixes. The key is in the beginning, before record is pushed and tracking begins. First, you need to have an environment for recording drums. Second, you need microphones that are ideal for tracking drums. Third, a talented drummer doesn't hurt. And last, you have to have a great sounding kit. Basically it's quality in and quality out. You will spend very little time trying to get a snare to "pop" and definiton from a kick if you take the time in the beginning. Hope to see you soon in the studio!
