Here we go with a brand new clip coming straight from my very last recordings done on July 2022 for the Italian Avantgarde Black Metal ensemble @homselvareg !
Lately I'm not that active on social media but since some nice clip were shot during those days at E.P. Recording Studios in Fiumicello (Italy), I thought was pity to waste 'em just for nothing.
I've been working with Enrico Perusin on this album as well, this time we've achieved a higher level for this specific session, we've focused on capturing the vibe of the whole kit from room mics, placed in specific spots into the rec room.
We've been using overheads as well for the cymbals,but we were looking for something heavier and more chunky from the shells, some of you asked which kind of drum library/samples I do use, my reply always the same: NONE!
We spend every time lots of energy to adequately pitch each drum shell, trying our very best to find the perfect fit for the music ( not really easy but we try!) , this time my kick batter skin was tuned mid to loose, never did such a choice in a lifetime, due the need of quick rebound given from tighter skins but the result is just awesome, that kick sounds huge and aggressive,using just an appropriate mics/ micking , the only " modern" gear used was a piezo taped on the kick skin to get just a crude signal out the kick to secondary add an attack sample trigger to compensate the focus of the double bass rolls,that's it, no major tricks😉!
