When you are an absolute newbie, it helps a lot to have a true step by step tutorial. Thank you!

[@r.m.809]

Excellent video. You explained everything so well without "over talking". This is how a video should be made. Kudos!😊

[@miguelserra2010]

Corrención: el cable que conectaste no es USB type C, es USB type B. Sigue con el buen trabajo!! Un saludo d sde Portugal.

[@User69523]

OH MY GOD YES, ALEJANDRO, YOU MAKE ME HAPPY 🔥🥁🥁

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

This is cool! I might do this when I get an acoustic kit!

[@3L3V3NDRUMS]

Really nice video!! Perfectly explained and easy to understand!!!

Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰💖

[@karlaam2370]

Awesome vid! super easy to understand.... thanks Alejandrooooo!

[@greetthemind]

I tried to do the Yamaha ead10 route. Didn’t work for me at all. I’m about to embark on micing my drums and recording like this for the first time. This video will help a lot. Thanks!

[@hylitefr18]

I thought this was for a beginner, This is expert level man

[@calypa_music]

Thank You for the good and informative video🙏🔥 It would be great if you could show us a low budget version (especially less equipment, i.e. which instrument needs definitely a microphone). For sure the sound quality will decline but it would be better than nothing🙏

[@mreddyfeelgood]

In my opinion that is pretty much the lowest you can go to record drums with mics, you can check out some 8 inputs audio interfaces, the focusrites are user friendly and quite cheap and really reliable, If you’re on pc, reaper is « free » which is the equivalent of garage band. I personnally use a a vintage analog mixer, the tascam m-50 that goes into a roland octa capture audio interface that simply digitalise the signal for reaper.

[@rigoserrano1508]

The only problem is, all the karens and angry neighbors might get in the way when you're trying to record.

[@ReyAvenueOfficial]

Buy a 1 hectare lot and build a house there with No neighbor hahaahah

[@juancamiloteuta1277]

Very useful video man, I was looking for it, I didn't know about it, thank you, greetings from Colombia .

[@GoldenProductions2019]

Hey man great video and great content if I can give you one tip there’s a lot of stuff you missed that you could of talked about to make the drums sound even better when miking a drum kit Like with the overheads makes sure there at the same level cause if your overhead mics are not at the same level then your drum recording is gonna sound out of phase The other thing talk about how far or close your mic should be to the kick drum Same with your snare mic and Tom mics You did a great job on the video there’s just a few importing things you should say and cover in the video to mic a drum kit But you did a great job and keep up the great work I’m a audio engineer and a music producer so I know all about this stuff And I also run a KZbin channel where I teach mixing and recording music But keep up the good work your doing great

[@taalvolcano4886]

Your mics are good

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

[@rigoserrano1508]

I also use an audio software, similar to the one you're using, but for my after school theater class.

[@nickfowler8031]

Thank you for showing this bro

[@rigoserrano1508]

Dude, I love your new hair style bro.

[@redravenrages6321]

Thanks, lad!!

[@GiriLembaruOfficial]

Hello from bali indonesia alejandro.great tutorial....

[@tsangarisjohn]

Awesome. My next purchase - drum mics and a mixer.

[@dougfinlay7531]

Nice demo! From New Zealand.

[@rigoserrano1508]

I've never seen you play the kick drum with sandals before, except in your All I Want For Christmas drum cover video.

[@elikebudi]

I can’t play it with sandals, I always put on sneakers 👟👟

[@jjwong0609]

Why should we follow the order to plug in the xlr in to interface

[@yelimarfarfanborges4371]

My friend Alejandro Sifuentes i am Anderson

[@a.s.a.l.a7790]

Hello from Armenia 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

Armenia rules!

[@justingoshgarian6213]

I live there too

[@satyrdaniel2850]

Awesome! Buut, the snare mic takes all the sounds for kick,toms, cymbal, once i muted it, it sound great! The ambience mics are useless and they're on max volume.

[@saptarghyabarman2451]

Hey when is THOMANN coming to Asia bro

[@nikog7111]

You should listen to the video at 1.25 speed, it sounds so much better

[@rigoserrano1508]

We are amazing at giving you support, but you are the best with drums bro.

[@karins5872]

Im 10 years old and i want to be a good drummer. I think this is a great video to learn how to record.

[@karins5872]

But a interface is very expensive. Do you know how i can record with not a lot of money?

[@lateralus8123]

Buy a $10 Pyle mic and a XLR to USB cable. It's what I used many years ago.

[@rigoserrano1508]

Do the number of mics have to equal the number of drums we have

[@ShonRoss-l8v]

Great video you saved me a lot of time very helpful video thanks mate

[@onura549]

thank you my frıend!!! perfect content!!! its very helpfull

[@elikebudi]

Extremely complex stuff, but you made it understandable with all the steps and great explanation. I’m a beginner, saving this, it would be very useful in the feature! 🤘🏻✌🏻🫡😎

[@ronrivers4261]

Very informative! Thank you! 😊

[@sanitize808]

Can you explain the difference between 8 channel interface vs 8 channel mixer?

[@vishiboii4427]

950 dollars for his mic setup (not including stands), i should have picked some cheaper hobbie 😅

[@l3oozehound]

Does the USB record separate tracks? Usually, it doesn't, or does it have to be a specific interface? If so...what? 😂 i have no idea

[@joshdrums30]

This is the best explanation video I’ve ever seen!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@toddtreat9567]

What do you have to do to actually play music through the ear phones at the same time you’re playing?

[@HaharuRecords]

That ain't type C, but type A you have connected to the PC. However Specific USB Type C will also work if you have one.

[@GospoKid]

Hi, I'm a very beginner. Your video is hope for me.😃 Can you tell me how to use this method at a live performance?

[@sondyceran540]

You are amazing bro. Thanks a lot

[@DIADENT-i5q]

Awesome video…but what about the music? If I want to play a cover of a song how I record the song with the drums I play together?

[@DylicousDylan]

Just upload the audio file of the song to the GarageBand project. When you hit record to record the drum mics, the song with play at the same time

[@Angelperez-fh5fu]

This was very helpful👍

[@kanchansingh4989]

Thank you I GOT the alesis kit

[@MigsandYnahfamily]

Pls do a video how to add a cover music after you made that setup.. How to make a cover music video.

[@drumtraining6849]

Dudeee, thank you so very much for this Video….!

[@m44nu66]

Alejandro ya tengo mi propia batería

[@normasvideos3340]

Hello you should do one for the electric ones!!

[@elikebudi]

For the e-drums you can get the sound via an amplifier or you can just connect it to your computer and use a software like Ableton or Studio 1 and record and adjust the sounds from there, but Alejandro can explain much much better. I am not experienced enough.

[@ambilyrenny]

Hey next please give an idea for how in mobile phones to extract and edit audios from youtube vedios??

[@Kinnor.Home.Studios]

Hi, What will be the result if I use my Yamaha MG16X Audio mixer instead on the interface ?

[@ezekielmalasmas670]

Awesome 😎

[@rigoserrano1508]

I'm assuming you use premier pro to edit your videos, right?

[@princenen3562]

Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@pathirageperera3765]

i was waiting for this video

[@no_me_importa_nada2023]

RAUL 🎤🥁🎤🥁

[@leonstarks7487]

what if only 2 tracks are showing but you have multiple tracks available?

[@mobobb3555]

Actually we will connect the MALE end of the cable to the microphone. Just sayin' . Why not lay the Kick mic onto a cushion or two facing toward the drummer ? The way that you show it in your video looks to be a recipe for rattling noise as the stand vibrates from kick drum usage. Also why place the ambient mics so close to the drum set. It would seem that those would be placed as the drummer is playing drums in order to get a satisfactory sound for recording. That being written - I did notice a much better sound in your sample two test recording. Lastly you did an excellent job of describing step by step how to set up for recording using Garage Band. Great video Sir. .

[@ShonRoss-l8v]

I have a question. What other laptops and software will work because macs are very expensive

[@Lionaura74]

So helpful thanks 😊

[@tomdimartino2675]

can u drop the link for all this equipment?

[@rigoserrano1508]

1 question, why do most kick drum heads have a port hole in them.

[@rigoserrano1508]

What made you come up with the idea to sell your drum equipment?

[@Salimnesarofficial-]

Thank you soo mach from this beautifully vedio

[@frankcortez9358]

So I had a question I don't have a interface I use a 8 track tascam could I still connect 8 mics like I could to the interface or is that process different?

[@omarconti8554]

Thank you my friend :-)

[@valuablerelationships8300]

Can I play music and play over it too?

[@manuelpantoja-garcia3955]

Could i use garageband to play live instead of using it to record?

[@uk2189mil]

Does the order in which you plug the mics in matter?

[@chxco1658]

If i want to record my drums, as i play a song in youtube, how can i do it, having my inears connected to the interface?

[@momscooking939]

Are there any other good free audio software ? I do not have an Apple computer but a PC.

[@porparamedboonprakobyoutub6513]

wow time drum pro have rock's 2023?? 😳

[@calebmiranda3206]

do you exactly need that audio interface or can it be any?

[@rigoserrano1508]

How can you tell if the microphone is lined up with the drum head.

[@dirkklapheck7156]

You are the Best. Jesus bless you.

[@NeverFold217]

When I get to step 6 and selecting like the inputs or whatever I only get 2 options

[@KevinSnow2404]

how do you listen to backing track while recording?

[@chenphy]

Can I use static Microphone to REC ambien-1 and 2?

[@jmdrumming-]

Thank You!

[@Mr.Pufferfish.]

If i use an adapter that turns usb c into Lightning can i use an iPad instead of an Mac?

[@FinallyUnderstand]

Thank You! :)

[@shadedesty1092]

Is there a specific reason why your snare is in 4 or why your kick is in 1 or does the order not matter?

[@ianmartin2924]

No. I think he just thought it was cool to say the input channel 🤷‍♂️ Check out Kohlerkeller, Sonicscoop or Rick Beato if you want to know how to record drums properly.

[@tw8126]

Thanks Brotha!🙏🏽

[@leroyrogersbatiamagog3679]

I need information...

[@angelarzola8196]

Can i use Audio mixer instead of interface?

[@Uninterested69420]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@WillBeatzDrums]

U could but u still need a way to record the sound into the laptop. Which an interface does that. But then if it’s a cheap interface u might not be able to record each track for each drum individually. U will be able to record only 1 solid sound and then u can’t control the tones or volumes for each drum…

[@drummercarson896]

Do you add the song you're covering as a track?

[@jamesjoseph1449_]

I think so
