[@JakeReedmusic]

THANKS! So fun to do a Zoom hang with Andrew! You're a lucky lady!

[@MatthewParsonsDrumsAndAudio]

A drum sound that raw and powerful goes hand in hand with a perfect mustache. Also a lot of just good insight and stories.

[@AndrewMasters]

Right? I love this guy.

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks! Andrew knows how to ask the right questions!

[@kjc9trader491]

Thanks Andrew for introducing us to this monster - I think his channel will be very successful... (You 2 could be brothers - looks wise)... I Love those vintage Gretsch Drums! ... Huge Peter Erskine Fan here also --- I also took a few lessons with him in the early 80's... Such an inspiration!!

[@JakeReedmusic]

THANKS!

[@oleksandrpozniak]

Drummers, how do you deal with knee issues if any? When I do play for several hours straight often I have knee pain in the "kick drum" leg and I'm unable to play for several days. Any issues like this? Any advice? Do you do warmups for legs or smth

[@JakeReedmusic]

Interesting ... are you burying the bass drum beater in the head? Like not letting it rebound after every stroke? If so, this could a reason for the pain.

[@DRUMAWAYEMAN]

Friendship!!!

[@AndrewMasters]

Love that man

[@JakeReedmusic]

@@AndrewMasters awwww yay!!!

[@timewasterc]

This guy not only has a spectacular mustache but he also has sick drum sounds.

[@AndrewMasters]

Totally agree.

[@JakeReedmusic]

Thanks!

[@davesteer1663]

What's that drum sound at 3:04?

[@AndrewMasters]

I don't hear any drums there?

[@davesteer1663]

@@AndrewMasters Sorry - potty humour at about 3:03 or 3:04 - just a recording fartifact. I'm new to your content and am really enjoying it - thanks!

[@AndrewMasters]

Woah! That’s gotta be authentic. You found gold!

[@genephillips4809]

3:03 which guy farted here?!😂😂😂

[@AndrewMasters]

Had to have been me.. only I could swing doing that completely unaware. 😂

[@JakeReedmusic]

@@AndrewMasters geez, what compressor did you have on that SM7?

[@Burnzo69]

You guys mentioned Blair Sinta, he's got a really great KZbin channel as well!

[@JakeReedmusic]

Yes, he does! Great drummer.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Ron Swanson plays drums too?

[@AndrewMasters]

Benjamin Kelley duke silver has some serious skills.

@@AndrewMasters I've still never seen this show but know exactly who you're talking about haha

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

About getting huge drum sounds when recording drums in small studios,- here´s a little insight and experience from Ian Paice of Deep Purple as stated in an old interview from the eighties (parafrased): " When recording drums in a studio environment your big live setup kit is often oversized for that environment, so a way to make your drum kit sound larger, deeper and more powerful than it actually is, is to tune your toms and your kick drum(s) as low as they can go without losing the trampoline-like whipping rebound feel of the initial attack of the sticks or the pedal. When you find that tension just above things going slack on you you´ve found your sweet spot. You then take a fairly large sized snare drum and tune that as high as it can go without it sounding like a piccolo drum,- so you retain all the pop, crack and sizzle from the stick work but with a snare sound with a deep bodied ring to it. This can be done with a drum kit as small as a jazz kit,- won´t sound like John Bonham, but the kit will sound one or two sizes larger than it actually is. The rest is a matter of the recording engineer and the producer making the best of the mics and in particular the room mics so you actively work the room and create a little natural ambience. A bit of compression, a little bit of eq, maybe a little plate or hall reverb underneath the toms and the snare,. and you´ve got it." A few more treats for you,- moving from the Euro-Folk into the Euro-Rock/Euro-Metal stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqGzeJyajaaSq5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ6vfomYhpiDmZo kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6CTmqCIdrOdo5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/haGtYqCXaK5jd8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/nou4oJyHfs5kmdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZObiHqfnJWAgrc kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2rGf42Hft-GnsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/f33EfGaEfriCo7M kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWqxenWQm7t1jZY Enjoy. :)

[@JakeReedmusic]

Nice! Yes, that's def how I like to tune the toms for that sound ... go for the lowest fundamental before the head gets papery.

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

@@JakeReedmusic Subbed Andrew a few weeks ago,- been having a great and interesting time following him and his world ever since. Subbed you today,- looking forward to learning more about the drummer´s world in the studio from you.:) Am myself a Scandinavian metal musician ( Guitat,bas, composing, recording etc.) heavily into the a specific European style of music that I have been introducing Andrew and Ariana to lately,- so he (they) would know where I´m coming from when I comment on topics he´s discussing. Looking forward to getting to know your world too. Btw.,- as the German say. " That ´stache ist einfach der Hammer!"

Tim Pierce is a monster guitar player!! All the way back to Rick Springfield days.

[@AndrewMasters]

A scholar and a gentleman. Also brings a KEMPER with his amps to sessions. Legend.

[@AdLaceStudios]

Have you seen his iso cab setup Andrew? That is definitely on my bucket list to build this summer! Too bad the Royer 121 is so damn expensive though. .... all in good time I guess.

[@JakeReedmusic]

Big time!
