Better Humans session - "Viladomat"

Post by Tesionman »

Howdy!

Better Humans is an Indie Pop project from England lead by Aaron Owen Smith. Aaron contacted me to do the drum tracking for this song. This track really started to grow on me after a while. I am really happy with what Aaron did with the song.

On this track I did not use the rack tom since I wouldn't need it for the track. This drum kit is my my ol' faithful Premier SIGNIA Maple kit with a 24"x18" Kick. The snare is tuned really low which I think benefits the song.

cheers and thanks for watching!

Really nice Hugo. That drum part really fits that song like a glove, and the kit sounds great. I like the way you split the verses; the first part gives a lot of space without sacrificing momentum, and the second part with that 16th note hihat part really lifts the second half of the verse going into the chorus.

Just curious; did you collaborate remotely to do that? Did they send you the tracks and you added in your part, or was it more of a band session? Were you free to come up with your own ideas or did they send you a guide track that was pretty much what they wanted?

Anyway, nice work, I enjoyed that. :headbang:

Thanks so much Chris!!! 8)

Well, the song was sent with programmed drums so I got the idea what was wanted and I was given some freedom to do what I thought felt right but obviously respecting the song at the same time. The programmed drums were already pretty good but I still altered some things(for example the 16ths on the hats) and put my "flavor" to it.

Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment!

cheers
