How To Get Album Quality Drum Tracks

Why?

Nothing sounds better than live, high quality; warm, punchy analog drum sounds along side your recordings. Mark Zonder provides warm analog live drum tracks that breathe and give life to your songs.  Live drum tracks will add the dynamics that machine parts cannot produce.  The subtle nuances that live drum tracks provide cannot be produced by machines and will add a very human musical feel to your tracks.  Remember music is human.  Ghost notes and groove playing is at its best with live drum tracks.

Also the varieties of cymbal and drum sounds are unlimited with live album quality drum tracks.  Various cymbal sizes and styles can be used as a machine does not have this ability.

With Mark Zonder recording your live drum tracks, you also will have great room sounds of the drums as well.  A stereo pair of large diagram mics, run through a couple compressors gives you that big room feel for your drum tracks without having to fake it with a digital reverb that will simulate what Mark actually creates for your live album quality drum tracks.

A large diagram mic is placed behind Mark and will create a live track that can be compressed and really add some punch to your album quality drum tracks.
