Amidst a backdrop of toilet paper shortages and Lebanese shawarma, Blonski and I met to hit some drums and think really hard about the sounds that came out of the computer afterward. One of our goals with Going Down in History is to take our time (maybe not this much time…) with the recording process. With this in mind, we spent months recording demos of each song. Our next step is to get the right sound for each instrument as we record them.
First up is drums.
We set up the kit in Blonski’s new studio room, muted the toms, and placed the mics. Here’s a tour:
Next time we brave the distopian COVID-19 lockdown, we’ll record drums and scratch bass for one or two tracks. Updates forthcoming…
