Haha! Please know that I'm being light hearted with giving this video such a title. This is a simple and quick run down of the mic placement and tuning that I used to achieve the drum sound in this video. I will be going over all of the eq and compression I used in next weeks video.

Thanks for watching! If you're new here, subscribe! I post new videos every Monday! :)
