as we explained yesterday we've just moved in to the studio for the next few weeks, it's an amazing building and is peppered with platinum and gold discs/cassesttes, grammys, the usual studio attire which our producer has been collecting over the past few years due to his rather impressive cv.
on monday we finished all the sequenced parts in order for me to able to drum, which is my task for the next few days. we started with recommendations and managed to get through pink squares, hunters daughter and part II.
the night before i'd been talking abut to our producer (hugh) about what drum sound i wanted to achieve from the album, i put together a cd of the various drum bits andsounds so hugh could hear what i wanted. it took him two minutes to achieve it, listening back to todays work, my drums sound so powerful and big, though part of this power has meant i've broken another cymbal, so tomorrow i'm off to rent my second set of cymbals.
today also marked the arrival of a beautiful c&c drum kit. whilst my custom kit is being built they have sent one across to me to aide with the recording process, though unfortunately it arrived a day late so i had already set up my other kit, though with newer songs tomorrow i will be bringing bits of both kits together, to create something even more amazing sounding!
we've also had the video camera in the studio today so there will be a drum tracking video blog up tomorrow, which will pull together the best bits of hard studio graft.
it's getting pretty late and we need to be up early in the morning to assataine freebies from our record labels hq, which we are living above.
other higlights of today include our engineers (cesar) love of youtube, in particular a multitude of phillipino inmates dancing the entire 'thriller' routine and a couple of retarded army privates playing chicken with their heads and an ironing board, funnily enough they lost that battle.
have a good day.
