Just some of my favorite world famous drum grooves.

All the drums are natural(just EQ and Compression). No triggers or blended samples were used.

Hope you enjoy!

cheers

I think you're great, Hugo. I've listened to your stuff quite often and I enjoy it.

I especially like "Bend," and hope you do additional originals and hopefully with a group of players.



Keep it up.

Thanks so much Dan! Really appreciate it!!!
Yes, more originals coming soon!

cheers

Very Nice.
I'm not a drummer and because drums are one of the biggest problems for me I have a couple of questions.
What kind of mix do you have in the cans, any effects?
What size are your kicks?
and how do you have the kicks mic'd ?
Its been a hit and miss for me whether or not I get a good recording.

Great stuff as usual Hugo. I'm with Dan, I always like to check out your stuff.

Nice double kick work, and I like that groove where you use the tom rim instead of the hat… You have a nice aggressive, controlled style.

Hi Wylie!

- I do not have any effects while I'm recording. I use my Motu's Cuemix app with just the natural dry monitoring sound.
- My kick in this case is a 24"x18". I also sometimes record with a 20" kick.
- I have two mics on the kick, a Sennheiser E901 inside to get more attack of the beater and an AKG D112 on the hole of the resonant head to get more low end. Works great when combined.
- Recording drums is not as easy as it looks. There are a lot of variables. Room, Tuning, Mic placement and obviously how you play them.

Thank you so much! Glad you take the time to listen to my stuff!

"Recording drums is not as easy as it looks"
That's an Understatement I'm not new at this by any means but drums are a challenge.
I think it may be the sound of the Sennheiser E901 I'm missing I going to pick one up.
Thanks Hugo
