Need Drums?

Usually I talk about the techniques you need to get a better mix or recording.

Short, bite-sized tips that you can take into the studio next time you’re having some problems.

And one of the harder things to get sounding great is the drum sound. There’s a whole chapter in Recording Strategies that teaches you a ton of tricks to record really good acoustic drums.

But there are a few of you I sometimes leave out.

Those of you who don’t record drums but of samples.

Introducing the Maio Drum Collection

Making hard-hitting beats is something I’m not too great at. But I do know, just like with everything else in recording, is that you still need those samples recorded well at the source.

And that goes triple for drum sounds. Powerful beats need powerful samples to sound great.

So that’s why I wanted to tell you about the with Snoop Dogg, Gorilla Zoe, Dizzee Rascal and Gift of Gab to name a few. Check out some of the examples in the link above.

The Maio Collection includes over 150 drum sounds for you sample layering beat-heads out there.
