First Time Recording Acoustic Drum Kit

So I found an interesting rock beat that seemed like a great workout for my kicks. And boy howdy. 6 kicks per measure.

I also tried recording my acoustic kit for the first time. So many firsts lately, it’s great.

This recording is just using one Shure SM58 in the room…

I could not hear the metronome at all through my Vic Virth earmuffs. The drums overpowered it. I also tried wearing earplugs, cranking up the metronome in the earmuffs, but that wasn’t much of a solution. Something else I’ll need to figure out.

Was a good practice session though.
