It’s true..you can definitely record huge drum sounds in a small room.
Common drum recording myths:
1) You need a massive, professional, acoustically treated space for capturing those huge drum sounds heard on your favorite records.
2) Just ditch the room mics in your project studio and rely on reverbs for size.
3) Don’t even bother trying to record a great drum sound without a huge space, high-end preamps and expensive converters. Just use samples or program your drums. 🤦🏻
Well, I’m here to tell you that these are all TERRIBLE pieces of advice and complete bologna!
I’ve been recording massive drum sounds out of my budget project studio (and with cheapo gear) for over a decade and you can do the same.
In this video, I show you exactly how I do it.
