Recently I have been in the process of recording a 12-song album with my band, and we’ve been doing a lot of tinkering in the studio. I’m really happy with the drum sounds we got on a particular song and thought I’d share a perfectly remix-able loop.

Here’s a two-bar drum pattern I played which I’m naming the Lucky Chopsticks Break for reference. Recorded in Studio A at BRC Audio Productions and processed at home.

  • 18” x 14” Mahogany kick drum with coated single-ply coated heads on each side - AKG D112 placed on the batter side, very close to where the beater hit
  • 14” x 5.5” Tama Brass Starclassic Snare Drum with Aquarian medium weight Modern Vintage heads - Sennheiser MD421 with a ton of 4k boosted on the Trident 90 EQ
  • 14” Zildjan CIE Hi-hats - SE Electronics SE3 as an overhead

High-pass, buss compression, and the new Ableton Amp on the “blues” setting was all I did with this thing.
