Jake Garland Tracking New 2012 Memphis May Fire Drums

[@Dimii256]

Can't wait for the album to come out!! I love you guys, Memphis May Fire is my favourite band and you're my favourite drummer!! Come to Australia please!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@rapfabella]

Memphis May Fire and Broadway are two of my favorite bands... One of the reasons why i like those two bands is because of the INSANE drumming... Keep it up Jake!

[@drummerboy3399]

@jakegarland2 Dude you are a beast, and MMF is a very inspiring band. Very appreciative to see a band like you guys nowadays. Thanks for everything, and keep it up!

[@HBjack]

Jake, this is amazing and sounds SO freakin' powerful!! The last time I recorded there was when I tracked on a single called 'Fame Over Demise' when I was playing guitar for Woe Is Me. I'm seriously praying for the opportunity to track there again for a demo with my new upstart group at some point this year - #1 mark to be reached!! I just need to get a decent reference along with our ready-to-go pre-production for anyone who would be willing to hear it haha. It's certainly a toughie! :P

[@Aldairion]

If I enjoy a drum track this much (I've listened to it like 20 times now), I can't imagine how much I'll enjoy the album. Can't wait!

[@ruleofwrist20]

he has such a sick sound! his kit sounds so clean! perfect for this awesome genre of music....long live MMF!!!!

[@piddlebag]

One of my favorite drummers. His work in Broadway's first album and with MMF, as always, impeccable. You rock Jake!

[@aaronwhalen3934]

Jake garland is one of the best drummers I've seen.

[@219Carlisle]

dude, that snare is epic every time it's hit with the stick.. so add that up, and that's a lot of epicness bro!

[@jakegarland2]

But thank you everyone for the support! I'm going to have a few other drum videos made in the near future with a live recording of the drums, so those eager to hear that kind of sound can watch!

[@GabrielXDrums]

make more plz :)

[@slopestylechild233]

you are an amazing drummer! so dope brp. memphis may fire is my favorite band and i cant wait to hear your new album. so excited

[@Andyclysm]

My theory (as a sound engineer in training) is that what's used here are the edited snare, tom, floor tom, and kick drum tracks. And the cymbal sounds being so low is due to the cymbal tracks being muted and the cymbal sound is actually spilling into the active mics. Although, that snare is being run through some sort of outboard gear to give it that nice reverb.

[@FearingFarewell]

No gate here the reverb is from the ROOM kontakt instrument. The snare for this sample pack contains a direct hit.nki and a room.nki, this has additional EQ to make the mix sound tighter though. (Native Kontakt Instrument) I bought it, and it sounds intense in a good mix.

[@drummerboy3399]

Bro that breakdown at 2:48 sounded awesome! Can't wait to hear this with everything else included!

[@isaiahmiller7888]

Uggghhhh…this is incredible. Back when drummers ACTUALLY tracked their drums. Jake ur dope dude 🤙🏻

[@ItMeLyndsey]

Even with the album out...I still keep coming back to this video. It's just too amazing...

[@SeanTiernan]

thats the one thing that i love about jake garland, his playing is so clean, his powerfills the ones that you are referring to are so clean, i have been practicing power fills for about 2 years now i can play them but no where near as clean as jake. Thats one of the things that i really take as inspiration for his playing to keep practicing and make everything as solid and clean as he can. Sean

[@JesseCrayons]

That noise you are here is the kick with the tom hits my friend.

[@Element115fl]

this is the song they showed as a teaser in the first studio update. i recognize the drums at the end.

[@darwinmedinamusic]

THAT Snaredrum! This one of my favorite drum videos ever.

[@elijerrr]

Your kit samples very well. Whoever engineered... Props!

[@mattsonger]

that snare sounds soooooooo gooood!!!!

[@FearingFarewell]

No, that actually IS the Memphis May Fire official drum samples, released about 2 weeks ago. Source: Cameron Mizell.

[@TheSonOfRage3Love]

I think the mixing is appropriate. list like every other instrument or voice, they like to have their own personal mix. In metal core, this is appropriate because the drums need to cut through. if they were mixed like a rock band for instance, the mix would be very muddy. cymbals are rolled back to keep the drums standing out. its all a matter of what you're trying to get. eq wise, if not eq'd correctly, the drums will not sit in the mix, but rather on top or below. volume adjustments can't fix a bad eq mix. if you ask me, the drums are mixed nicely. good amount of reverb on the snare too.

[@TYFLOL]

It doesn't even sound good in the full mix cause every instrument sounds like shit... I think the drum sound is awful, but the problem is that it doesn't even sound good in the context of a full mix

[@BruhCmon]

The song is called "Losing Sight" the song will release when the album comes out

[@tibguy4]

Every drummer in every band should be required to make a video like this... period.

[@111omerta]

His drums in the first studio update have the audio from the live room. In this video the audio has gone through a mixing board and a computer. so yeah, they sound different.

[@HL18CSS]

Clearly different/multiple visual takes over the final track. Honestly, can't wait. It sounds so dope.

[@sk8allday091]

So anxious for the album to be finished and out already, this wait is gonna suck but be totally worth it!

[@xkillswitchxLionna]

hes one of my favorite drummers!!!

[@ForeverTeo1]

Jake sounds awesome! I'm very excited for the new album.

[@xXCataclysmicEraXx]

Both of those drummers are phenomenal.

[@krazykidd96]

this sounds so sick cant wait for the song to come out

[@DiMaggioism]

his snare sounds so snappy and clean. i love it!

[@androiduser1234]

triggers are simply a little pad that attaches to the snare head, bass head, tom head, etc... now what it does is go from that to a module for all the present triggers you have and when you hit that certain thing that is "triggered" it outputs a pre-made or user-made sound that distinctively sounds the same every time for a more tight and percussive sound like you just witnessed above... So if you want to sound like Def-leopard or Metallica, it is actually very possible... Hope this helped :-)

[@FalzerSama2010]

Nice work Jake, stoked for the album :)

[@cap07x96]

This is amazing drumming!! How can I find the Facebook post to share it on my wall . I'm a huge fan!

[@lol69420lmao]

I love his form

[@jp1794]

pretty sick, one of my favorite bands, can't wait to hear the new shit.

[@n0ztic]

Just a funny observation; The beat at 2:04 sounds like the drum intro for "fall out boy - dance dance", just sped up :D (If you wanna hear it, it's about 30 seconds in their music video).

[@colinbazzano]

from 0:00 to 0:07 you have the intro right into the chorus until 0:20. a little breakdown followed by the first verse starting at 0:49 to 1:04. Then the chorus again until 1:21 then it's like the part in The Sinner (1:27 in the song) 1:47 we pick back up with a breakdown until 2:01 then a possible gang vocal part until 2:15 where it goes back to the chorus Then it's like in The Victim (2:43 in the song) from 2:28 to 2:49 followed by a breakdown until 3:03 followed by a transition, chorus & outro

[@NFox6]

How I've learned it is RL rl BB RL rl BB. The RL are on the snare, the rl on the toms, and the BB on the bass drum. You can do many different variations like RL BB RL BB, or RLRL BBBB RLRL BBBB. Some of the fills in this video are just RL RL across the snare and toms but with the bass drum hitting with each hit with the stick. To get them to sound like Jake's fills you need to obviously speed them up. Hope this helps.

[@Xyzqtt]

Hey jake, huge fan, I was wondering about your live performances. I imagine you play to the click tracks when you guys are live. What sort of headphones do you use? I bought some $80.00 headset and I found that they weren't quite loud enough when I played live. I see you have a headset but do you use the ones that go in your ear when your on stage?

[@LordStacks]

thanks for lookin out broseph

[@ScottLikesToParty]

you seem to lack understanding of what my comment was referring to. i didn't mention anything about rather his kick drum was mic'd or triggered. i was referring to the track in this video being the audio from the drum mic's(which is all the drum mic's) and does not include the overheads which are for the cymbals. that being the reason for the cymbals in this video sounding faint.

[@bizmarkism]

true but it even sounds good in the studio update videos where it's not the actual drum track but just a live recording of the drums

[@IgoreandTorii]

You have redefined what is attractive in a musician.

[@NolanBellingerDrums]

That snare is sooo awesome!!!

[@JordanCouch1]

Could you break down the fill you do at 2:47? I watched it at least twenty times. I can't wrap my mind around it. It's crazy awesome.

[@XavierDotCom619]

I'm already moshing just to these drums

[@CypherThanatos]

that snare pops so nicely.

[@josephdavidfranklin3062]

It would absolutely terrify you at how many times I've played this video Jake~

[@FluffyMuffina]

You'd all be surprised how many bands sample replace, the only reason to do it is to get a clearer sound with each hit. The reason there are 3 mics on the kit is to ensure the hit is accurate without using a trigger. The only editing that I hear as a problem on this is that the cymbals are too loud, and for a solo track by itself, there's too much reverb. But, we'll see how that reverb fits into the mix when we get the final product.

[@ScottLikesToParty]

i believe the mix in this video is just the audio from the drum mics. not the overheads. that's why the cymbals are faint.

[@shadwsniper]

That's the point of sampling. They have the base tones, and then process them with different MIDI effects to produce the desired tone.

[@pierces19941]

this one video has so many cuts in it.

[@DinoDrumProduction]

The drums are mic'd up, which means they recorded the drums then set then to a certain sound/effect. If he changed the heads it would make a different sound, the snare really just has more reverb on it, and the toms are pulling more warmth and or low end. It's not really that fake, just a little more processed then other recordings.

[@jakegarland2]

Seems like I need to put this in the description..but to clear it up, the audio from this was sound replaced with one hit of each individual drum. It is still the sound of each drum, and still live room sounds. Nothing was mixed and was not the final drum track, just a quick play through! If you want 100% live audio go watch my drum video for "Prove Me Right" :) Also I use DW 8000 series longboard pedals. They don't make them anymore.

[@t0tallyKy1e]

those toms sound beautiful

[@JordanCouch1]

Jake it would be sick if you could break down those complicated fills like at 2:46. I want to know how to do that.

[@FarthestOutpost]

Much love to the upcoming album. ♥

[@jakegarland2]

I don't mind people disliking that the video has the drum track from the album over it.. But to iplaydrumsye don't act like you know your samples, I can guarantee that you don't have that drum sample.. All of the samples in the video are taken straight from each drum at the studio. That snare is 100% my snare! And it's actually a Truth bubinga wood/brass hybrid snare, not hand hammered brass! :)

[@londonpythons716]

Wow, that's sweet how you picked that out ahah, I never have yet xD Good ears!

[@binzianer]

thank you quantitizing software for making him sound tight

[@AussieGunn]

Easily one of the most creative drummers in the scene. So much respect

[@RthereNEusernames]

It doesn't look like they mic'd the cymbals up, but if they did they probably just lowered the volume on them so you can hear the drums more clearly.

[@MrIWATCHITALL]

I can't wait to use this audio as a backing track and make a cover when it's out., :D

[@twisty676]

This is definitely the drum track for the song from studio update #2!

[@35ridinhigh]

I could just listen to him play drums all day

[@bizmarkism]

the kit sound amazing

[@IloveOLDLADIES]

Those toms sound fucking amazing.

[@mattdooley99]

It's actually a pretty simple concept. Just 32nd (I'm pretty sure) notes with a double kick in front of or between them depending on where you play them. Hope it helped man!

[@jakegarland2]

Also to everyone who digs the video, I just filmed 3 more (with the ACTUAL drum and room sound for those of you who I know would rather hear that) to a few songs of the new record, so stay tuned for them being released soon!

[@AmericaWest90]

How do you get such a PERFECT SNARE SOUND?

[@TheFinalIllusion]

These aren't Joey's samples, they're Cameron's from Chango. Joey actually uses samples that the drummers do before recording.

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

Most of the bands' drummers that record at chango track the same as they sound on the recording songs, impressive that Jake just plays just exactly as how their songs sound.

[@ZakkeeBee]

when does this song come out ! I NEED IT !

[@FarthestOutpost]

It's an effect cymbal, the holes give it a special swishy sound.

[@harison22]

Help Me! I can't stop listening to everything Memphis May Fire!

[@FluffyMuffina]

The only reason they sampled this kit in the studio was so that from mic to mic there wasn't any bleed. It makes it sound cleaner.

[@capnawesomeful]

Jake said that it was all sampled but they were all samples from his kit and it was done so it had a cleaner sound than if they did live drums. I do prefer live drums, but I'm not the one producing the record. That being said, I hope the cymbals are louder on the final mix.

[@phillipmaz]

They probably didn't use triggers but instead used SoundReplacer, Drumagogue or a similar program to replace the snare sound with the snare the producer wanted. Not actual triggers

[@Sargraceem]

Just from watching this, I already have a feeling their new album is going to be banginnnnnnnn

[@PineappleDrumz]

it is him playing, but he's just using triggers or something similar, which is why it sounds so clean

[@bloodymonserify]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS NEW ALBUM, CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

[@TT1abbc]

All the song parts from the first 3 studio updates are from losing sight

[@bananmongo]

Thanks for your input captain!

[@Circasurvive1238901]

I can't wait to hear whats playing during the break at 3:03 ;D

[@TheVESSELtv]

im not meaning that i saw a comment that said: "THAT snare drum!" and it reminded me of a tweet i saw is all

[@iAmPokelicious]

No thats just what "studio quality" sounds like. The mics arent as sensitive, thats why you only hear the initial hit and barely any of the cymbals, *notice he has a fan and on and you cant hear that. but you can OBVIOUSLY SEE HIM HITTING IT. so it cant be fake

[@steff_nexus]

This is so fucking sick. Please do more good sir.

[@NickFP117]

To clear it up, the entire kit is triggered and replaced, cymbals included. I myself have recorded at many studios that replaced my drum sounds and I have friends who have recorded at Chango, where they recorded, and Cameron replaces the whole kit. Perfect example is at 1:36, he hits the crash but no sound is produced. Its not fake, the drummer is playing the parts, but the sounds are replaced to make the kit sound tighter and better. Much better than bands that use EZ-Drummer.

[@austinhullmusic]

The samples are just to improve quality. He records the drums like he would live. They paste them all together in tempo and perfect sequence. Then comes the samples. The drum tech or producer takes the drum notes and puts them on a piano role on whatever program they use then they put the samples over the same notes the drummer actually played. (;

[@vwreisadrummer1]

I like putting Losing Sight on then this, then get them to be at the same point in the song to watch how he does it. its so much fun!

[@snipemasta]

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure but I think he finally quit. He was supposedly still in both for a while.

[@NolanBellingerDrums]

Does anyone know how you would tune a snare to sound similar to that? I don`t want to use the samples he has online because I still want my own sound to.

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

You are very very technical & talented. Screw what people think about you. ♥

[@asdasdasd240]

There is a mistake at 1:26, the hi hats sounded but he don't hit them.

[@AutopsyGremlin]

Obviously Loosing Sight, you can hear that from the intro alone. XD

[@samwells1107]

the song is gonna be on the new album we dont know what it is yet
