Recorderman Technique - The Real Story from the Recording Session it was Invented At

Eric "Mixerman" Sarafin was there when the Recorderman Technique for recording drums was born. He gives us the whole story about how it happened.
The big shocker: Close microphones on the kick and snare were used, and it was never intended to be a two-mic recording technique. Simply a way to get the kick and snare down the middle of a stereo field for a mix with loud overhead microphones.

Recorderman is my dad :) he was telling about this interview. He didn't know about it until recently so I came to check it out myself. I knew my dad was good at what he does but as someone who themselves doesn't understand the music and the industry on the same level I never comprehended HOW good he was. I didn't realize he set a new standard to recording techniques for drums.

Hey man, thanks for making a difference to aspiring musicians. If I could've asked for one channel on KZbin this'd be it.

[@MaldisBarbecue]

I mean this is great, but I don't expect the guy who was there when it actually happened and being featured in this video to specifically talk about this technique... not to remember what the heck he did...

[@letroy7227]

Dude, I won't copy paste this comment on every of your video so I do it on this one... But damn, thank you so much for what you do!

The drums sounded excellent through a phone without headphones. I can only imagine how it sounds on a better listening situation.

Thanks for making this video! Flawless as always!

[@HiqueBernardon]

Keep the good work man! I think that your channel is one of the most informative here in KZbin. I'm very glad that I've found you! Cheers from Brazil!

[@DrumTeacherManila]

this is a nice authentic video. you brought us with you on the experience instead of just teaching what the recorderman is all about

[@monkeyxx]

so much knowledge being dropped I love it

[@foketesz]

This two together is a joy

[@monkeyxx]

This is a great series, I love the expert commentary.

[@NikoFrederiko.]

Started this video when it came out, got to the end tonight due to this guy's rate of story telling.

Thank you a lot for the video! As an amateur, I find very interesting and valuable info on your channel. Keep up the great work.

Two pieces of yarn, one taped to the snare center, one taped to the middle of the kick where the beater hits.

Very impressed with "The Anointed Recorderman Technique". It sounds great! Any low end pull would easily be remedied with a "Mono Maker", if needed. Love the sound of the brass with the AEAs as well. Dark and rich, as a good brew should be.

Thanks for doing this!

It's a great technique. I used it a lot last year, but with LDC cardioids primarily and placed higher than you showed us here. Results very impressive and I do not have any problems with snare or kick shifts in stereo field.

[@twitcheyspleen]

I really enjoyed this. thank you

[@raychavezmt]

Nice technique! Thanks for sharing!

Its amazing how good it sounds when done right with a drummer who isn't trying to destroy his cymbals
