At Home with Joey Waronker (Drummer - Beck, Roger Waters, R.E.M.)

During the summer of 2024, between live performances with Beck (with the LA Phil) and recording sessions at East West Studios, we connected with Joey Waronker at his home studio in Los Angeles, tracking drums for a remote client in Poland.

WOW! THIS IS EPIC!

[@LautenAudio]

🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@wardsnauwaert6709]

Choosing mics : 4 minutes, Choosing drumsticks : 4 hours. What a great guy!

[@LautenAudio]

We make the mic part easy 😁

[@schmargle]

This video makes me want to play the drums very gently.

[@fishman101]

Dang that snare sounds so perfect!

[@chrishubbell3313]

WALT MINK….FOREVER!🙏🏾🤘🏾✊🏾

[@futuristiccavemanofficial]

That was badass. Fantastic feature! Joey's humility despite a rich career of working with some heavy hitters is awesome.

[@artprojectsnz]

So amazing - what a humble cat. And such a tasty drummer; with so much softness & feel. JPMusic

[@subschool5]

thank you! he's a legend

[@JesseDanielSmith]

I appreciate how slow and thoughtful this video moves

[@willudallmusic]

lovely light touch 👌🏻

[@sovka8394]

He's an amazing drummer. I know him from the band Atoms For Peace, where he played alongside Thom Yorke and Flea.

[@lichtfilme]

i love this, i know joey from thom yorke. this feature is beautiful, cause of its quiet passages

[@adroc9101]

I just knew after watching SOME of this (painful to watch) video, that the comments would be glorious; I was not disappointed. Thank you!

[@seeyouinhale2317]

Not nearly enough time spent on the drum stick selection piece.

[@thirdsmusic]

Wow, really well made. Thanks!

[@LautenAudio]

We are so glad you liked it!

[@lucianoluggren]

This man could record himself with a cell phone and it would sound good. But it doesn't hurt to have some good microphones around. Greetings from Argentina.

[@strickland306]

Fantastic

[@LautenAudio]

We are so glad you like it!

[@FutureClubNow]

I love the deranged vibes and almost awkward moments. It made me smile, laugh and feel at peace. Well done.

Such an amazing look into things.

[@kman0529]

This is a Portlandia sketch (meant as a compliment)

[@rickblackers88]

REally nice!!

[@JulianFernandez]

this channel rocks!

[@LautenAudio]

🥰

[@lawrenceyolles9541]

amazing!

[@rafaldeja8094]

Fantastic!! Great o know that music was for client in my country....I need your mics guys :)

[@roryhensen]

yes please

[@Vocalio3000]

Yesterday I saw some list of 100 best drummers and I was actually wondering why this guy isn’t on that list. Really, a few times I have listened to something and said to myself that I like the drums on that song, it just makes that song great … and surprise, many times it was this guy. It’s a shame they didn’t include him

[@michaeltracksuitaudio]

That was great

[@chardrum]

When I was 21 I made a set of windchimes out of keys too haha! Great sounding mics!

[@brentsmith9411]

A guy who proves so much drum tone is in having a light touch.

[@teckertime]

And sister ANNA is an amazing talent as well.

[@maximilianwoerle]

Woow!

[@ingoodmusic]

a nice guy

[@Tugboat_City]

"It's just deranged enough to be cool." 😂

[@vitomartinomusic]

Craft is the only thing that matters in life.

[@cynosureanthem2158]

Does he do sessions for anyone? How would I reach out to Joey?

[@gregchapman3519]

What was the song he was playing along to at the end??

[@benilyadovein2434]

Drop mixes in mono

[@benny70707]

Yeah Vatar sticks are garbage. I gravitate to the ProMarks too. Your lucky to find one good Vater set in 100 sticks.

[@kingocowata]

Let’s not stay on a video subject showing massive OCD while choosing a drumstick. Super awkward

[@FutureClubNow]

That was my favorite part of the video.

[@jonnymac9262]

Gotta be a gag. The music featured is bullshit - no drummer can dig this.

[@OlyGordon.Specdrum]

Speaking for myself I enjoy this music. You should check out Beck - Morning Phase album for reference. Chilled vibe like this with nice pocket drums.

[@xfloodcasual8124]

if you want a house like this in LA (easily a few mil) you do work like this without complaining for 90% of your gigs and never mention it. famous directors I know are the same. until you get to know them personally, you had no idea how much crap they crank out non-stop usually leaving their name off it, for the few jobs that fuel their fame.

[@Sunkenballs12]

I like it. You wont get manny gigs being such a pretentious prick.

[@Snowden74]

Love it. Its hard to rock soft and sound good. Beck Morning Phase is a masterpiece.

[@OlyGordon.Specdrum]

@@Snowden74 and has James Gadson on a few tracks too! Got it on vinyl, my 9 month old baby boy loves it too haha
