Music Producer Plays Drums???
When the Session Drummer is the band
I ended up playing drums on the ep and practically everything else..except lead vocals, eg solos, and the odd eg rhythm jangle. This is a song in a series of me attempting to re-create songs and projects I've already produced, mixed, and mastered.
These vids will be attempts to remember what I played...in some cases..years later. I'm either brave or stupid haha! But seriously, there are years of projects I never filmed the "making of".
Also, I plan to spin out videos of me showing as much of the process as possible [i.e. playing, recording, mixing, etc.]. Hope it comes out all right and is fun for everyone.
Wish me luck!

Very cool, fill !you got it down, dude
👍
👍
Inspiring playing, sir!
Sounds great! What is that paiste ride if you don't mind?
Thanks Shawn! Paiste 22” Masters Dark Ride. Lmk if you want any other info. Appreciate you being here brotha!
This sounds fantastic. That fill at 2:32 is tasty.
Travis!! Thanks man! You working on anything cool btw?
@@therealjonsmith1 As far as drums go, I make mediocre drum covers, striving for decent. I just did a skydive, which was way better than my drumming.
Wow, this is amazing, props to you, Jon. BTW, can you share what drum do you use and de cymbals too?
Unreal. Feels great!
Thank you Glenn!
Aced it 👌
Williem! Appreciate it 👍🤓
i think its special to him
Haha! Sure is 👍🤓
I just bought a 20 pk og Gauger Lockerz, I've used them for years. Look into Sleevedwashers 👍
Gee, maybe play it for everyone?
Hey hey! Thanks for being here. Check out my latest vid “Music Producer Plays Drums???” I’m using this drum.👍🤓
My Supra is special to me. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
@@MrRezRising Haha! Oh yeah..def special to ME! Btw, check out my latest vid “Music Producer Plays Drums???” to hear it. Thanks again for being here, hope you’re doing awesome, and more otw!
Subscribed from Australia. I love Ludwig’s too
Hey that’s amazing, thank you! More otw.
Amazing and tasteful drumming. The song sounds great and catchy.
Thanks so much, was a fun one to play. More of these otw. You working on anything cool?
I purchased a diecast hoop for my 60s ludalloy superphonic. It dries out the sound a little and gives it something original but generally I find it takes away the original asthetic of the superphonic. I particularly found the rim shot sound with the diecast hoop was too harsh when recording.
I hear all that! Having options are good and def makes these drums more flexible. Also, set up choices can depend on the music you play and what you’re looking for from the drum. Very cool. Thanks for checking out the video!
That was tight Jon , great to hear the music when you’re playing. Great job on that 🥁 Thanks for sharing 🎶🎵🎧
Hey thanks! Working hard to get more of these on the channel. Appreciate you checking it out and more otw!! Btw, you working on anything cool?
In case he didn't mention it, It's really special to him
Hey Jay! Absolutley! 😂
Steve Gadd didn’t use a Ludwig snare. Jeff Porcaro didn’t use a Ludwig snare. Ringo Starr didn’t use an LM400. Charlie Watts didn’t use a Ludwig snare. Saying it’s the most recorded snare assumes a lot including what the recording engineer adds or subtracts from the drums being recorded. It’s a good drum but there are many others that are just as good if not better and for less money.
Charlie used one old days
Hey Matt, thanks for chiming in on this! I can confirm Jeff Porcaro, etc. used these drums. But, instead of comparing notes on exactly who played them, I just wanted to highlight the fact that the drum has become ubiquitous and is used all over the world. It has been argued over (which I have zero interest in) and proposed that the Ludwig Supra 400 / 402 model is the most recorded snare drum in history. I can def agree with you that there may be other models that sound fantastic and may be less expensive. Everything is debatable of course. Also, you are so right about the recording / engineering process shaping and changing a snare drum in the studio. The spirit of the channel and this video is to open up a conversation with you and anyone here! Thanks again for being here and taking your time to offer your insight 🙌
@@therealjonsmith1 well said! Happy drumming.
What is ludwig doing...
JFC.... Play The F'ing Drum! FFS!
Haha yep! Audio examples otw!! Thanks for watching btw.
@@therealjonsmith1 Thank You 🤣
Does the new and old version Ludwig 400 snare as a different sound quality in between please ?
No session drummer ever got fired for bringing a Ludwig LM400 to a studio gig. I have one and it has become my primary, "go to" snare. One of the best purchases I have ever made as a drummer. I tune mine in the 'high' region and it just sings!! Great snare!!
Hell mine I paid 550 bucks for 25 years ago. I got it from Ontario music a guy by the name of Todd Trent I still remember the dudes name it it’s awesome. It’s loud. It can be soft very versatile.
Mines basically a 70s lug
I have the same one. I bought 25 years ago but mines brass over chrome.
Where can I buy those lug locks? I have a Sonor Beech snare that can't stay in tune because it used to be a floor tom :)
Do you know ow of a way to serial date Ludwig? I have inherited Bill Lazarus’ kit from I believe ‘68, but I’m not sure. It came with a supraphonic, but it doesn’t have a 60’s badge. Any help is appreciated.
Hey Jon I'm a session drummer too and from Malaysia, I just want to let you now that I really enjoy watching your videos, please make more of them! Maybe you can tell us more about Acrolite snare drum too? You are the best!!
I love my new black beauty, 6 1/2 with nodes And I’ve got an old CB 700. That’s 30 years old. Got the floating free floater maple and copper shell one of the other sounds good down low really good great keep it up.
Thanks Ed! Working on it. Black Beauties are def great drums. Classics. I also have a Pearl Free Floating I’ll be talking about soon. Is it a deep one or shallow btw? Thanks for being here!
@@therealjonsmith1 and my free floater is a 6 inch. It’s pretty beat up, but she sounds great. Looking forward to seeing your pearl.
Yes
I think so too Michael!
Is that a BB? The lighting is bad.......
It’s a chrome hammered Supra, and the vid def has a cinematic look. Thanks for watching!
Nice work
Thank you Luis 👍🤓
Sounds awful
Good ear, iPhone audio isn’t the best!
Got mine in 2020. Will never go back to anything else as a main
Such a great drum!
May I ask why you feel that way? I've never played one of these shells. I have several vintage 400 & 402's in my collection and they suit me quite well.
@@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ Absolutely! First, it looks cool.The standard Supra is just fine. I have the 5x14 and plan to grab the 6.5x14 again. Great drums. The hammered version with tube lugs is a bit drier and a little darker to my ears. Also, it has a sweet vintage look to it! I mean...c'mon haha.
@@therealjonsmith1 Thank You Sir! If I may suggest: Please add the 42 strand snare wires, especially to the Deeper Drums 👍
@@SopranoPizzaJMFNJGreat advice..and love those too! Only recently ventured out to smaller wires. Otw!
That's a good toy!!
Hey Pablo! Yeah, this thing sounds pretty great.
@@therealjonsmith1 yeah, for sure!! I want one of those!
I just picked up a black beauty current year model with the nodes not the imperials man even with the Ludwig head. It sounds wonderful totally love it.
That's very cool Ed! Just can't go wrong with a classic..ENJOY!
Good stuff Jon!
Thanks Mark!
Producer and audio engineer out of Clayton NC. I have the skills, and a B.A. in audio engineering.. but im struggling to find good work in the audio world. I hope i can be like you soon.
Hey Erick, thanks for checking out the channel. I’m working on it. I hear you regarding finding good work, sometimes it can be a real challenge. I don’t have any easy answers right here and now, but I do plan to talk about these subjects on the channel. Hopefully, that will help in some way. Stay encouraged and lmk what you’d like me to talk about on here, I’d appreciate that.
