Minimal Mic'ing Techniques & #REPLACEME

Here’s the idea: We’re all pretty much stuck at home right now and recording drums is really fun, right?! So, I figured why not have some fun and create a play-along version of “Welcome Home”, from my new album "Reed Between the Lines", and see how other drummers would approach it? Except, it’s more than just a play-along ... take it one step further and record yourself/post a video of your performance. PLEASE, #REPLACEME Often in the studio world there’s a negative connotation associated with the idea of “getting replaced” on a song, but here it has a positive spin. It’s more about “how would YOU play on this song, if given the opportunity?” I invite you to use your creativity to come up with how you hear it. Please do absolutely whatever you’d like as far as sounds/vibe, groove/part, playing crazy fills, not playing crazy fills, lots of mics, minimal mics, lots of reverb, not lots of reverb … literally what evs, K? The main thing is to HAVE FUN! Here are the incredible musicians you’ll be playing with: Andrew Synowiec on guitar Kait Dunton on rhodes Cooper Appelt on bass me on perc (sorry can’t replace that lol) OK ... enough about that! ALSO, in this video, I discuss ways that I go about minimal mic'ing: 2 mics on the drums, 3 mics on the drums, and maybe ... just maybe 4 mics. I also discuss how I go about doing a quick mix in Pro Tools with said mic set-ups. So, there you go! Please, download the track and REPLACE ME using your favorite mic technique, minimal or maximal. Post your videos on the ol' insta, fb, the tic tok, whatever, and tag me. Be sure to use the hashtag #replaceme ... Have fun!!!
