Description: Multi-platinum engineer and producer Kenny Gioia will demonstrate step-by-step how he sets up, records, and edits drums for any rock/pop tune.
This collection of video tutorials by the one and only Kenny Gioia takes you inside Kenny’s personal recording lair and shows you step-by-step how Kenny sets up and records the foundation of any rock/pop tune—the drums. From set-up to performance to editing, it’s all here, meticulously demonstrated by multi-platinum engineer and producer Kenny Gioia.
Kenny begins with an in-depth introduction where he goes through the setup procedure including mic choices, preamps, input gain staging, drum heads and tuning. Next he gives you a tutorial for each of the main components in the drum kit such as kick, snare, toms, overheads and the illusive “Room” mic.
Kenny then focuses on the performance and how to ready the drummer for them to take as well as click track and headphone mixes. Multiple takes and comping is also discussed. Extra processing is shown with plug-ins like the transient designer and IR reverbs to make the drums sound like they were recorded in a different space.
Editing is next on Kenny’s menu and he shows you the pros and cons for both Elastic Audio and Beat Detective Editing. Finally Kenny wraps up the series with 2 more videos on adding kick and snare samples to fatten up your drum sound.
If you record drums or are just getting into the art of recording, Kenny’s methods and techniques are an indispensable addition to your toolbox, so clear your schedule and hang out with Kenny and learn his way of handling the skins today!
