Kick Drum Recording — From Scratch to Mix-Ready Samples

A great kick drum sound doesn’t start with an EQ plugin. It starts with the drum.

In this course, you’ll learn how to record powerful, punchy and mix-ready rock and metal kick drums from scratch — starting with tuning and drum head choices and ending with a collection of awesome kick samples you can use in your own productions.

Learn what makes a great kick drum sound great — and how to achieve that sound yourself.

We’ll go through the entire process step by step, including drum tuning, head selection, microphone choices, mic positioning, direct and room microphones, and blending multiple mics.

And because you should be able to put what you learn straight to work, the kick samples created during the course are included.
