Are You Processing Your Drums Correctly With AJ Hall

In this episode the guys are joined by AJ Hall with credits such as Kid Cudi, Queen Naija, Westside Gunn, Russ, Jack Harlow and many more! Being that AJ is a drummer and specializes in soundkits we picked his brain on a number of things. Are you recording your actual drums to tape for saturation? What mics are you using to record your drums? Can older equipment give you a more vintage sound? Lets find out.

[@JPtheProducer3]

Maschine is sooo underrated

[@donnydarko7624]

The the thought of AJ recording in that house in NOLA makes me think of how John Bonham recorded the drums for When the levee breaks inside of a stone castle (thats the drummer from Led Zeppelin for the ones who don't know) and incidentally the opening drum break of that song is one of 300 most used drum breaks of all time.

[@AJHallTV]

I actually recorded a version of that break in the house in Nola. One of my favorites

[@donnydarko7624]

nice. My favorite is probably the So glad your mine by Al Green. Big Daddy Kane used it, Tried by 12 by East Flatbush project uses it and Dead Wrong By Notorious Big ft. Eminem uses it. Im sure its been used more those are just what I know off the top of my head. @@AJHallTV
