Recording drums is something a lot of people struggle with, and honestly I get why. It's super time-consuming and there's a lot of gear and techniques involved.
So in this video I wanted to show how I personally approach it in a way that’s structured but not overcomplicated. I put this together to show that if you stick to a few basic principles, you can get really solid drum sounds even with affordable gear.
Hopefully this helps make the process clear and easier to manage, and you will feel more confident when it comes to recording drums at home!
