I prefer recording drums in the analog format, but that does not mean I would only do it that way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.
Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.
Drums isn't my one thing anymore. I love to produce. I love to make tracks, write tracks, produce tracks, and I can't just sit back as a drummer anymore.
My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me.
A band like Depeche Mode would go out and record them hitting a trash can with a steel rod or something and recording it. And that would be one of their sounds of the drums. I love the creativeness of that kind of really raw sampling.
I don't have a formal home recording studio, but I can record tracks on my computer upstairs in my office.
I'm making music the way I would have done before modern equipment and music recording.
Drums usually seem to tune themselves.
Still for fun, I play the drums, but I don't do much recording with them.
