Setting Up My Home Drum Studio (Jared Falk)

[@whanowa]

I know it seems tempting to have everything ready in one set, because recording drums is not easy. But I urge all you drummers to put this stuff together yourself. Not only will it be cheaper but the sound will be all YOURS and finding the right components for that is part of the process. Trust me.

[@Slay-Man]

I've tried recording drums in my bands practice studio with just 3 vocal mics, and man, I've enjoyed every second of it. Sure it was Hell at first, but it was worth it.

I was thinking about buying a drum set but didn't know much about it. One day I called sweetwater and ended up talking to a sales rep for about 30 minutes. He was awesome. Their customer support is unmatched.

[@stev_k_ontheTube]

Wish I had the $$ for this kit.

[@ourfragrancejourney3911]

You can get better for cheaper... just get on amazon, create a wish list, and build your own pack 😀

[@joshahariel5199]

I dont have a drum kit either

[@alienair1748]

Thew drums or all the other stuff? Buy used. Its not hard to do if you shop and budget wisely. I built a 10K studio sonically, for less than 4K in about 3 years. Patient budgeting!

[@cymbalmonke]

I've been slowly building up a home recording set up. Got the last of it on the way, now to set it all up and start tracking drums..a lot to do, even when you know what you're doing! Its a serious commitment. Crippling fear but also stoked! Looking forward to learning!

[@artpena72]

i LOVE sweetwater, those guys really know how to work with musicians and customers.

[@leonbrenner236]

The drums sound more real recorded from outside the room with the camera's microphone.

[@jooplin]

He destroyed the sound in this room

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@@jooplin What I find is ironic is that had the room been built properly (and for basically the same cost), there should be almost no sound outside of it. Perhaps the vents are defeating the sound proofing but it sounds a lot louder than it should. But also as you mention, he loaded the interior walls with way too much sound foam. He would have actually been better to go commie cheapo (like I did) and line the walls with a carpet pad which would partially relieve excess reflection but still allow the room to sound relatively natural and live. Or do it the right way and reduce the foam footprint on the wall to half of what it is (like a checkerboard).

[@e.apollis2877]

should leave the drum room door open with one mic facing into the room and blend that in to taste, with maybe reverb and or distortion

[@renanterezan9922]

About the excess of foam... When the room is small, you don't want the acoustics of it (when recording drums, it could work well with other instruments)

[@AlexRamirez-gf5bh]

Just my 2 cents here... Sometimes when normal people like myself, watch these videos think that buying a package like the one promoted here, is going to sound and look as great as it is shown here but the reality is different. Starting with getting a Gopro camera looking that great you need to have a lot of experience in video editing, also the recording part of it is another beast, mixing and mastering music, is an art.... bottom line, don't get fooled thinking if you buy this package your content is going to look and sound like this one.

[@kylepozorski]

When you’ve got money like Jarad you can just sit on a bass drum and not worry about it getting messed up

[@DrumeoOfficial]

That doesn't effect the bass drum negatively at all.

[@a.m.creativ]

Look at the orientation of the drum. He isn't doing any damage to the drum.

[@purplew4678]

This makes no sense

[@JonnyLipshamStudios]

The pack also comes with a copy of Studio One 4 Artist and Capture for recording your performance audio. I also have that mixer. Been using it since the day they launched - great gear and super reliable.

[@mancuniancandidatem]

Is this mixer working as a pre amp and analogue to digital converter?

[@drummingninja1065]

I'd love to build a room within a room in my basement. But the walls aren't finished yet, the ceiling is exposed, and yeah... It needs a lot of work. But the idea of having that small space would be amazing. Totally soundproofed.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Definitely not a “whisper room”. A whisper is the sound your bank account makes after buying all this crap though. Maybe more like a death rattle.

[@cymbalmonke]

Can confirm

[@mpfogarty]

Never knew about measuring from the snare to the overhead compression mics. That's worth the whole video. Thank you!

[@rasecthebloody]

I'll take notes about this clip. Some info about endorsing would be great. Nice studio there.

[@itsn0g00d]

Jared, thanks for the WhisperRoom demo. I am really very surprised at how hard it is to find any demo videos of it with drums inside that isn't shot on a crappy phone camera with a hissing, spitting microphone. WhisperRoom really should clip this bit from your video (with your permission, of course) and put it on their website.

[@wrightguyz]

Hi Jared - on the Whisper Room did you have a double pane setup or a single pane? Trying to guage noise reduction needs

[@ryanclark895]

Jared you are such a legend I have been drumming since I was 14 and im now 23. Your vids have always been so amazingly helpful and ur such a great dude! Keep on rockin brother.

[@austincameron5790]

What a man would do to get a pack like that.:. Dang supper lucky.

[@hannovermusic]

Hey Jared, nicely done - but you can have it way cheaper and better with the Yamaha EAD10. It records the whole kit with minimum technology in studio quality and I use it on stage too. You can even mix your playalong to the drums and make a movie from it. So go check it out. ...

Does anyone know if this is the standard single or enhanced double wall room?

[@lugomusic4830]

I'm about to get a new drum room, it's 4m x 4m x4m, concrete from floor to ceiling and I won't have to do much soundproofing against the outside, as there are no neighbors or other people close by, my issue is mainly the sound inside. Since the floor is concrete I figured a simple carpet will do, I'm much more worried about the height of the room and the 4 walls reflecting everything. any advice?

I've seen the Presonus 32 AI for $1500, new (refurbished) that and a good set of mics, forget the GoPro, and you can get a CAD (actually 2 packs if you have 7 drums like me) plus color coded cables for a total of around $2500-2700 hundred, you can always add the Gopro later, I can make better video recordings with my phone these days. My drums sound very good and I imagine with a little software tweaking I can make professional sounding recordings.. I will update when I get my setup, currently in the middle east deployed.. (earning the $$ to actually get said setup)...

[@eugeniovasquez3780]

Thx 4 this. Every drummer has their own unique fingerprint of creativity that's what is so awesome about drums. Every life form and inanimate object vibrate a pulse. So get over it about " making it " and focus on the healing therapeutic aspects of drums and the fun will follow and your fun vibes will attract others seeking the same as you and before you know it your in a band and then a café or bar or family BBQ will know and ask you to perform. Along the way you will meet new people interested and higher up level of enlightenment experience and.... Yes... business.... Business knowledge now is more important than music if you wish to proceed to next level. And that is a plateau for me and others. Now we must figure out how to do business with others who. Might not see the perspective you do and make offers or deals you might not agree with but will expose you to greater opportunities good or bad its your choice. The 20th century was a lesson for showbiz. So many examples to choose from to guide you. You can choose to be a Neil or a Buddy or Lars or Sheila or Tito... The Rev.... . So many to choose from learn about their choices And learn about their faults and successes . Hey and if you don't want all that fame Drum shells make great plant potter. Cymbals are great for making prank ufo videos. I personally love pimping drumsets with l.e.d. glyphs. And I even grew my own quartz crystals to glue to copper and make my own piezo. ( buying piezo much easier ) And my own electric kit mainly taking the dry sound of the piezo using the signal send it to midi. But also a creative way is to amplify the dry stale sound of piezo pickup is just tweaking the tone with equalizer.... See what an interest in drums will grow in to? And Drumeo rules Please for the love of god do not allow Drumeo to convert in to a scandal after Jared retires

[@dapdrums]

Since the package is tailored to drummers/home studio content creators, I'm curious why they don't just package the 16.0.2 mixer instead of the 32 channel. The later is overkill, and obviously more expensive then needed. What am I missing? Is the 16.0.2 not sufficient? It even seems to pair better with the rest of the package (mics/stands/cables etc...) In any case, Good video Jared. Thank you for taking the time to create it.

sd top,hh,bd inside,t1,t2,t3,ohl, ohr = 8 extra: sd bottom, bd outside, room l , room r totals 12 if you have t4 and t5 it totals to 14 if you add a stereo mp3 player/smart phone it adds to 16.

The whisper room demonstration basically proves to me that my idea of building a chamber in my basement that would prevent neighbors from hearing my drums is completely hopeless. That's a professional design, and it obviously doesn't come close to silencing the noise.
