Courtesy of Rob Aubrey I am currently recording using Focusrite preamps. Lovely

I am also saving up for a Macbook Pro… donations gratefully received

Legendary engineer and all round quality bloke Rob Aubrey (Spock’s Beard, Asia, Tony Levin, Thomas Lang) came round to our farm the other day to have a look around, chat about recording and give us any tips for getting good band sounds from our home studio. He had loads of great tips including how to get a sweet vocal sound, and combining drumagog samples and organic snare samples to make a hybrid snare BEAST.

We’re super grateful that he’d give us his time when he’s so busy (must have been the offer of food?)

Rob if you read this, we love you!

Me Cronk and Andy have been messing about with some covers:

Ne Yo - Closer:

Bailey Tzuke - Uninvited:

Some new videos I posted:

ProjectMooseKnuckle - Threebone

PMK is a recording project led by some sick musicians from Southampton, and this video is me recording a drum track for them.

Enter Shikari

This was recorded using all my lovely new mics (using drumagog for the Bass Drum), and the video was from my Blackberry (which is why it’s so small and the colours are very 70s!)

Hello!

I am a 23-year old drummer living on a farm near Bournemouth. If you are looking to get some drums recorded you are in the right place

I have since upgraded all my mics - vids with the new studio set up to follow soon.
