HOME STUDIO Setup 2020 | Ben Satterlee ( Drummer )

[@AndrewMasters]

What's the strangest place you had a home studio set up??

[@tomasshannon6537]

the attic at my dad's place! haha luckily it sounds great. got a few vids up on my channel from there if anyone's curious :D edit: I'm planning on putting together a more legit studio after this pandemic, and all these studio tours (plus your studio setup vids) are inspiring and motivating me big time, so thanks!

[@thejawshop-AdventureRecording]

I've been taking my mobile set up [which is an old airstream] to swamps, setting up mics in the water and amps on the shore.

[@ronnieparfait]

Ben seems so down to earth, I’d love to be in a band with this guys positively shining through. ✌🏼

[@UpliftedProductions]

Just did a project with Ben. I got in touch with him from watching your video. He's awesome on the drums man! Thanks for doing the interview.

[@AndrewMasters]

Great to hear! Thanks!

[@winbornmark1]

Love Ben's enthusiasm for his music.

[@andreizhilkin2680]

I literally just watched this with a big big smile on my face. You guys made my day🙏

[@thejawshop-AdventureRecording]

Ben is a great example of someome thriving by keeping the overhead low.

[@Jrenglehorn]

Great vid Andrew! Earned my sub. Loved you and Ben geeking out on tambourines. That's right up my alley man, loved the video.

[@AndrewMasters]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@pavelkazantsev3771]

Such a nice and wholesome dude!

[@AndrewMasters]

Totally is!

[@TheJTish]

very cool. the dude is serious into his craft

[@AndrewMasters]

Definitely is!

[@drew_the_drummer]

I am all about drums and have just recently started recording and posting to KZbin. I love this whole recording thing and your vids have helped me learn a wee bit more about mixing my audio

[@AndrewMasters]

That’s awesome! Congrats dude

[@drew_the_drummer]

@@AndrewMasters thanks man keep on killing it on your Channel

[@tomasshannon6537]

loving these!

[@mjgambone]

Very informative. Thanks fellas!

[@GhostFacedrummer]

Great content Andrew. I’m a 15-year old KZbin drummer and watch all your videos. Check out my setup and let me know what you think! Thx Andrew, keep up the great work.

[@skaneplayzgamez8814]

Wow! Just checked your channel out. Awesome playing and setup!!

[@iceproshot5442]

I’m a gear head and think your setup is sick! Great sound on your latest cover.

[@arianamastersofficial]

The mask is brilliant in so many ways. Your studio is awesome - Andrew and I love that you have a legit control room window and everything. Your parents seem like they are very supportive of you and your passion - good for you :) Keep at it! Where are you located? In the US?

[@GhostFacedrummer]

@@arianamastersofficial Wow thank you so much Ariana! We are located in Toronto. My dad is a drummer and has passed down his knowledge to my sister and I (she has a channel too). We are super lucky to have his support for our KZbin videos:). You can check out my sisters set-up too here: kzbin.info/door/Vqmd9BRYgmmXP4dSMwscCA

Instant fan...sub'd to both of your KZbin/IG channels.

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks !

[@NashvilleDrumCoach]

You rock brother!

[@terrymiller111]

Earned my sub. Great guys.

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks!

[@aligrant2605]

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while! Love studio tours! Keep up the great work and I'd love to see more studios! Well done Andrew!

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks, More to come! Ben is a talented dude.

[@RickK1988]

Me love drums too *caveman grunt*. Drums and gear are very addicting. Can never have enough of either.

[@arianamastersofficial]

lol nice

[@kardoautoworks5119]

Just a suggestion, you should include a part of them playing in their studios.. great content anyways!

[@AndrewMasters]

I would love to do all sorts of stuff, due to time constraints we usually have just enough time for the tour. The videos as they are now take about 4 hours to shoot. I’ll most likely do more collaborative videos with them at their studios down the line.

[@kardoautoworks5119]

@@AndrewMasters for sure man!. Id love to see that! Im aware of the time it takes to set it all up, i play drums myself and sometimes it takes my whole day tuning the drums, setting up the mics and mixers so i understand.. great videos tho seeing different guys with their home studios! 🤘

[@CalebDriscoll1]

to the end bro

[@AndrewMasters]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DerrickSchneider]

Hey man! Love you content. I started tracking live drums at home and learning how mix with samples. Any tips for slate trigger? Also have you ever used any of the GGD drum samples??

[@AndrewMasters]

Thanks man, I made a video a while back on using trigger. Check it out here if you want: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHbEqY2KjZaIb5o I haven’t used ggd before. It’s a virtual drum machine right?

[@DerrickSchneider]

@@AndrewMasters thanks! I'll watch it. Also yes it's a sample library. Manly for metal and rock music. I love it

[@terrymiller111]

6:26 "Righ' cheah"

[@WilliamJohnsonmusic]

Really fun! Great video. Come to my studio... we can have a cup o’ coffee and talk percussion! Haha.

[@NashvilleDrumCoach]

Thanks for having me brother!!!

[@AndrewMasters]

Any time! Thanks for having me, go sub everyone!

[@arianamastersofficial]

Such a great tour! Love your spot; you really maximized the space :)

[@wizkid340]

Great space! Love the minimalist vibe :-)

[@Superdelphinus]

One question I’ve always had of drummers is how often they go through a pair of drum sticks, and does one usually wear out faster than another. And what does a worn drumstick start to affect in terms if the sound. Basically I’m obsessed with drumsticks apparently.

[@NashvilleDrumCoach]

Superdelphinus hey great question. So wearing down sticks is super random and not consistent at all from Drunmer to Drummer. As far as sound, yeah a cracked or chipped stick changed sound on cymbals a great deal but also on sticks. For example, I can hear a warped or slightly cracked stock on a cymbal and immediately tell without even holding it.

[@kevinschuckvk]

the moment you stepped into ben's studio you should have flipped the video to black & white.

[@AndrewMasters]

That’s hilarious!

[@DanyloDmyterko]

I’m currently building my own studio and your series is GOLD!!! Thanks for pumping out great content for all of us drummers/producers!!!

[@AndrewMasters]

Awesome! I’m happy it’s helpful.

[@amateurhourdrums1466]

Agreed, one of the most helpful channels out there!

[@RAULDIAZ-re9ju]

appreciate this vid bro .... like BEns approach to keep it minimal and making it work

[@NashvilleDrumCoach]

Thanks homie!

[@fblmusic7058]

A train car...Yes that is truth ! lived in one for a year touring

[@AndrewMasters]

That is kind of awesome actually! Serious inspiration.

[@fblmusic7058]

@@AndrewMasters Yeah seeing the continental US and going places only trains go is very inspiring. I miss it.

[@OffShiftProductions]

He's right on about those Concept Maple black wax snares. So cheap and so so so good!

[@NashvilleDrumCoach]

Right?!!

[@jaymeramirez7435]

Those R40’s are now $160-200. USA debt increase = inflation. 😊

[@amateurhourdrums1466]

Guest bedroom gang where ya at??? 🙌🏼

[@laneysommer]

I have one in a walk in closet of a bedroom in my house :)

[@AndrewMasters]

Classic! Great vocal booth.

[@officialWWM]

I think it's cute how drummers call themselves musicians. :)

[@chasecampan-thornburg1721]

This is awesome! Been watching Ben on Instagram for some time now just wishing he would do some KZbin! Just subscribed to his channel. LIKE s m a s h e d.

[@AndrewMasters]

Yes! I'm gonna keep on him!

[@josephmorales652]

I’m a software engineer who records music a ton. I’d love to give a tour sometime. I’m not really a vlogger, but I’d love to share.

[@wizkid340]

Me too! I love how he does all kinds of home studios from entry level to professional. If he is ever in Dallas area I would love to have him check out my studio as well. Sorry to piggyback on your comment, but I was just wondering the same thing.

[@josephmorales652]

@@wizkid340 Nah totally! I think its encouraging to see how other home musicians make their music!
