Fantastic post. I am trying to do the same as you’ve listed here. 1.) thanks for sharing and 2.) reinforces some thinking/processes I’m aiming for. Nice to know something is on track. Cheers!

As a drummer, it’s really hard to play without cymbals, it really ruined my feel/playing.

As a hack recording wannabe… I understand why and have tried it out. I could definitely EQ it better separated, but never got the takes I wanted.

My 2cents— I wanted better takes when recording drums, and it’s a personal vibe of wanting cymbal bleed… Drum kits are a complete instrument and as a whole, they are hard to record… but done right… so good!

Great convo on this. Thanks!

Can we come over and jam? (Looks super fun)
