Tracking Chris Smith’s ONE WORLD<\/a><\/em><\/strong>

Tracking remotely is a lot of work but it has its benefits. I recorded the bed-tracks in a space with wooden floors and a fairly high wooden ceiling. I ran Lew’s bass direct and mic’d up Chris’s guitar amp in order to have a guide as we played down each song.

My set-up.
\"\" … I used what sounded right for the album’s song styles.
\"\" …overheads with the warmth of the pine ceiling and wooden floors translated well to the raw tracks.
\"\"… Don’t try this with anything but a cheap mic. Having been presented with a scenario where I was short an additional stand and\/or clamp; so I improvised.

\"\" …Chris and Lew listening to playback.

\"\" …Break-time at the clubhouse, on the Haliburton River.

\"\" …some cool cover art.

I am a lover of vintage instruments from the 50s, 60s and 70s. If you’re looking for a vintage sounding drum track for your next project; let’s discuss your creative concept. I can come to your favourite studio, or I could do the tracking for you. Get a vintage tone with a modern touch!

1965 Ludwig Super Classics…the same kit (dif. colour) that Hal Blaine<\/em><\/strong><\/a> used with The Wrecking Crew<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.

\"1965… this is also the same model Ringo<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and Michael Shrieve<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (Santana\/Woodstock) used.

1967 Rogers Covington Era Swingtime set up.

\"Rogers…think Al Jackson Jr.<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (Stax<\/a>\/Otis Redding<\/a>\/Al Green<\/a>\/Bill Withers 1st album<\/a>)

Gretsch (Stop Signs)

\"Gretsch…”Get your Tony<\/em><\/strong><\/a> on”…”Get your Elvin<\/a><\/strong><\/em> on”…Motown etc… “That great Gretsch sound!”

1980s Pearl DLX
\"Bryan \"Pearl …my “Jeff Porcaro<\/a><\/em><\/strong>” setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need drum programming for an album or for live use? I do that type of work too.
Get realistic dynamics, phrasing, feel etc… Let’s discuss your ideas and bring them to reality!

Getting that classic Hammond A100 sound through a Leslie 127.
