This journey takes me from basic knowledge about triggers, tuning, and mixing all the way to expert advice and endless tweaking until I nail that signature crack and body. This video documents every step in my journey to recreate an iconic sound. From blank slate to initial failures to breakthrough tweaks, you'll learn exactly how I approached this fun challenge.
