I grew a moustache a few days ago, which was thoroughly discussed by family members and friends and your channel was "mysteriously" recommended to me. And then I looked at your comment section and it hit me. I also happen to be a musician/producer so I had to subscribe, keep up the good work!
7:10 I was seriously excited to hear you do the intro handclaps from "Car Wash" then disappointed when you didn't. You borrow so freely from the 70s. Anyway, new bass player sub here. Good channel. Nice matching Duco Slingerland and Gretsch snares. Those Vistalites sound like pre-Toto Jeff Porcaro.
Yes! This please show us your ways!. Processing, how you using those guitar pedals, when you use specific mic's, compressor examples... Super stoked for this.
Totally! Honestly, I can't take credit for the guitar pedal thing ... like I said in the video, a lot of this I learned from Aaron Sterling. BUT, I'll for sure show you how I do it. Glad you're stoked! Thanks!
As much as I love drums, I can’t help but be absolutely in love with all of your audio gear! Everything you have seems hand picked and I’m definitely jealous, great stuff man!!
I used to have a 4 car garage turned studio filled to the brim with audio gear until I downsized and got rid of almost all of it. It got to a point to where I just didnt know where to start recording anymore and I burnt out. I would dabble more than create.. so I turned a small fortune and stopped recording about 3 years ago until recently I am getting back into it again. Nothing major tho (for now). Just 5 good mics, yamaha cs1x keys with midi, drums, bass, guitar, percussive stuff, steinberg urrt2, grace m101 for clean headroom, and that's it.
Wonderful your studio and great equipment. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I am always watching from here in Brazil. Congratulations on the great drum sound !!!
I've only just had this vid turn up on my feed. Breath of fresh air. Your simplicity in sophistication (recording equipment) and you being straight up yourself, well, big, HUGE, BIG, big, huge style is for a lack of a better phrase, is down to Earth. Also, hiding behind your "anchor man" moustache keeps the mystique... Who is this guy? You!
Great vid...how about a entire video of your process from scratch to completion of a recording session of a song. Your mic setup and why....your daw setup...which compressors for which mics and why....kind of what personally works for you. Either way...it would be awesome.
Hey Jake!! I Just found you from your Andrew Masters Interview - LOVE the Vintage Gretsch Drums (I'm an old school Gretsch guy), and vintage gear in general ... I also am a huge Peter Erskine fan (took a few lessons from him as well, in the 80's (I'm Old)... Such an immense inspiration/mentor to me as well... I bought my 1st real Ride cymbal based on his at the time (20" K dark ride - still use it all the time!)... I really wish I still had my 1st drum kit - a 70's Pearl fiberglass concert tom kit (See Peter Criss's kit on the 1st Kiss Alive LP - Same exact kit!)... Ohhhhh... that 70's sound! I am so envious that you have Peter's actual old Yamy Kit - which sound amazing!... [ BTW - hate to correct you - but I believe that is a Xylophone - Not a Marimba - which typically has graduated keys that get narrower as they get higher in pitch, and also have curved resonators (long to short to long again), as opposed to going from long to short up the keyboard ] ... Like you - I am a man of all genre's and percussives (my studio has SOOO many boxes of toys) ~ old school studio drummer (80's - 90's been there done that L.A. thing) ~ and a retired HS band director as well!... Very much looking forward to enjoying your channel.... liked and subscribed... All the best to you!...
kjc9 trader hi! Thanks for subscribing and cool to hear about your kits and lessons with Peter! The Deagan is technically a xylo-rimba - it has graduated bars but not as wide as a proper marimba AND they are also thicker like a xylophone. Pretty crazy, right? It was designed to have elements of both instruments back in the 1910s ... pretty neat! I was only able to confirm all of this through Bob Becker via our mutual friend Bill Platt! Thanks so much for getting in touch - this is really cool!
@@JakeReedmusic :... Yes - I can be anal that way... I'm OCP ~ Obsessive Compulsive Percussionist... Good Luck on your Big Band gig btw - Absolutely my favorite music to drum with - unfortunately, hasn't been an opportunity to do that in many years... I'm so sick of playing Blues, I could Puke! ...🤭 🤢 🤮 ... Lmao...
the be all end all of drum recording channels. easy subscribe. incredible insight, wit and quality! love it! i wish you could grow 2 moustache as no one deserves it more.
Thanks! Can I use this quote on my website??? haha! I appreciate it. The clips I use for the 414s are clips for a D6 kick mic. They fit perfectly and are only like $10 a pop compared to $80 or whatever ridiculous price it is for the newer 414 clips.
Absolutely loved this! Great to see somebody who really knows their instrument(s) and has fantastic taste in mics and outboard gear. The sound samples also prove that you know how to put it all together and make some lovely sounding drum recordings. Definitely inspired to build a "house kit" for my studio and add some more outboard to go with my Apollo system.
Colton Conner thanks! Definitely will do a video on how I mix my drums, at some point! A lot of it depends on the kit and the style of music so I’ll have to find a few choice examples.
Yesssssss. What we've all been waiting for. Question: is this room part of your house, or like a detached finished garage type of thing? What, if anything, do you do about soundproofing to not drive the family/neighbors crazy?
@@JakeReedmusic I don’t know if you know it or not but I was your step brother for a minute. I just can’t believe how good you got I heard you went to school for drums but damm dude your killing it keep it up if u ever want to jam I got my own lil studio as well and still in kc area ..other than that congratulations
@@JakeReedmusic If you can get one of those room mics in a stairwell or the garage, that would be great. Also, I would recommend weekly videos of just reading passages of "Hammer of the Gods".
Hey Jake your studio is awesome! and your channel too. Could you talk about how you use your hardware, pres, compressors and all that gear? Could you do one with this topic? I would like to know and learn more about it... I found a little of this on your channel, maybe you've done it in "Here's How to Get Huge Drum Sounds in a Small Room" But if you can go furder...could be grrrrrreat! Thanks! Your are great! PS: Another topic could be talk about fees and payments (I mean in general, not about your earnings!). and...other could be acoustic treatment for home studios. Best!
Thank you! Yes, those would all be great topics to discuss a little deeper. I still feel like I’m not an expert on the inner working of all the outboard gear, but I could offer my thoughts on it for sure. As far as fees, I just try to find something that is fair for both sides. Thanks!
Great video. Nice mics. Replace the pen with a No.2 pencil or wood stick on the 47. They both work to knock down the SPL level, but the inner ink cartridge can rattle. Just FYI. You need a mic in that cymbal cabinet.
I found your channel because of your interview on Andrew Masters Channel. Im pretty excited on what will happen your channel! Keep going with the great stuff :-)
Hi Jake,- here´s a few suggestions with regards to various drum related content you could discuss on your YT channel: How about different kinds of tutorials,- I´m not thinking about playing tutorials,- plenty of those as it is,- but more in the way of illustrations of different kinds of genre specific drum setups, ways to record those setups, and their various tonal characteristics: Ie,- big bands, 70s folk, 60 psychedelia, 60s-70s funk, blues-rock, jazz trio, 80s gated compression ( think Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight), 80s stadium rock, classic rock/metal- Black Sabbath/ Deep Purple/LedZep, 80s wide open sound( Eric Singer- Black Sabbath - 7th. Star - one of the best drum sounds I´ve ever heard - open, alive, noisy and in you face), 80-90s tight sound: Savatage: Power Of The Night and Hall Of The Mountain King, Dio and also Pantera and Slipknot, modern day tight punchy sound for grandiose Euro-Metal ( if you don´t know much about this style I´ll fill you in as we go along as I did with Andrew), and also setups for acoustic outfits, recording differences and techniques for the different setups and styles: When to close mike, when to mike the kit instead of every single drum,- and maybe in collaboration with Andrew break downs of various drum libraries: Toontrack´s Superior Drummer/ Metal Foundry/Percussion and Ethnic Percussion just to name one manufacturor. Tons of possibilities to get your channel of the ground,- and I for one will be looking forward to every single upload. Like I did with Andrew I´m gonna leave you for now with a few treats of music from bands and in styles you´ve likely never heard of for you to acquaint yourself with, so here comes the first introduction: Operatic Symphonic Progressive Melodic Euro-Folk Metal. Biggest and most popular genre of rock music on the international scene,- been developing and going on for more than twenty-five years and though growing in popularity in the US and Canada virtually nobody outside of a devoted fan base in the northern regions of the Americas knows it even exits. A uniquely European style of rock/ metal based on roughly 800 years of folk music from something like 45 different countries and something like sixteen different cultural regions plus 400 years of classical music tradition and composition all of it fused with metal to become our version of contemporary highly melodic metal. Since all of this historic music is prevalent and all around us, we all grew up with folk and classical music and don´t have an "artsy" or " fancy high culture" feeling about it,- it´s simply our old music , as it is still being performed everywhere,- as well as is everything US made, - so what European musicians have done in order NOT to play and perform some watered down version of what is essentially US genres of music ( rap, country, RnB, roots americana, blues, AOR rock, Southern Rock etc. ) is look to our own roots to see what value we might bring to the table ourselves,- and this journey and development has led to a folk revival and several new metal genres all fused into one big outpour of music. If you don´t know these bands and this music you should,- if for nothing else then simply to know it´s out there. The reason I find this important to tell you people in the US about is because I´ve watched many a US YT channel discussing the total absense of rock music in the contemporary US radioland,- and people are complaining that rock music is dead,- well it´s not, especially not outside of the US and Canada,- but maybe the US scene has grown stale and a little set in its ways? My idea is that what worked for us could work for ya´ll,- so,- Bluegrass metal, anyone? Why not? :) An introductory playlist,- a bit of folk,- so you can hear where things came from,- and a bit of rock/metal so you can hear what they developed into: czcams.com/video/nyuRRWC5GY8/video.html czcams.com/video/b9a4xXTfdo4/video.html czcams.com/video/WCl8ktZfio0/video.html czcams.com/video/0I1geB7U5VI/video.html czcams.com/video/LpiFmZLICgM/video.html czcams.com/video/SQNtGoM3FVU/video.html czcams.com/video/9o0imRANjm0/video.html czcams.com/video/nLgM1QJ3S_I/video.html czcams.com/video/kb8WGig0MLU/video.html czcams.com/video/OpJ1ma3I0Ag/video.html czcams.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/video.html czcams.com/video/Dys1_TuUmI4/video.html This is just the tip of the iceberg,- plenty more to come. :) Enjoy
@@JakeReedmusic I figured out how to get unstuck. I watched hours and hours of your drum footage and then played a perfect paradiddle sequence on my keyboard. Boom!
Hi Jake. Could you do a video on different drum stick sizes? I use Vic Firth American Classic 5A but would like to know what benefit the other sizes are and what different styles of drumming you would use them in. I've pretty much always been a 5A user but knowing what the differences are would make a good video. I just found this video from AM's Q&A. Cool tour by the way. Cheers.
Thanks! One of my friends builds studios here in LA. He did all of the acoustic treatment in this room. The two most important things he did were to put fabric along one entire wall and the other was he built a cloud to go over the drums. Definitely helps to control weird flutters/reflections in the room, which is really important for drums.
Great video. You make that room do a lot and I wish I could go back in time and start collecting more/better/different drums. I watched the whole video hoping you would talk about what sits behind your throne, to the left of your trackpad. Metronome? Monitoring mixer? Did I miss it?
Behind me is my headphone box and I have a second keyboard and trackpad connected via bluetooth to my computer so I don't have to get up from the drums as much.
Woooow!! This is amazing!! I discovered your work and I'm only one of your biggest fan!! Please can you tell me where did you find this really cool microphone-clip with which you can put together the SM57 and the AKG451?
Subbed Andrew a few weeks ago,- been having a great and interesting time following him and his world ever since. Subbed you today,- looking forward to learning more about the drummer´s world in the studio from you.:) Am myself a Scandinavian metal musician ( vocals, guitar, bas, composing, recording etc.) heavily into a specific European style of music that I have been introducing Andrew and Ariana to lately,- so he (they) would know where I´m coming from when I comment on topics he´s discussing. Looking forward to getting to know your world too. Btw.,- as the German say. " That ´stache ist einfach der Hammer!"
Rad! Thanks for introducing yourself ... Andrew is the man! I'm not sure what topic I'll cover next, but I know it'll be fun. Would love to check out this European style of music you're talking about!
Awesome ! I noticed that you use the Wave's API comp do you like it more than the UAD's or other emulation ? Im thinking of buying it by watching your videos
love your vids & playing & sense of humour. Hey that cool little clip that attaches sm57 to akg 451 - you have a link for where to find? Or is it custom 3d printed? You use Lauten snr mic more these days anyway? thx
Hi Jake! Thank you for a great tour! Is there a chance to see in detail how you built your array for DPA/Coles OH mics? Maybe in some other video that I missed? Thanks!
Yesssssss! So pumped. Smashed the like button as soon as I saw that mustache.
WOOOOOO!!!
Found him via you! Beautiful stuff
My God, that crash at the beginning scared the fuck out of me.
Excellent, Jake! Entertaining, too.
Thanks, Peter! I had a really great teacher ;-)
You have a studio drummers dream studio. So many drum options, but then a good selection of recording gear to get whatever sound you want!
Thanks!
Saw the 'stache and smashed that bell! GREAT video tour, dude. Your collection is insane!
THANK YOU, GOOD SIR!
Well, dang. I thought I had a "drum" problem. Studio and gear selection is awesome! Look forward to more content!
Ha! It really is a serious problem! We'll see what happens next ...
Awesome! Thanks Jake!

Haha! Love it! The all-knowing algorithm ...
I think these are some of the best sounding drums i've ever heard
Noah Page thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
You're a magnet for musician friends, aren't you? That's like Disneyland to me.

Peter Babcock thanks!
Awesome drum collection, mics, pres, compressors, toys. .. everything. You Rock!!
Thank you!!!
Great job Jake!
Thanks!
I used to have a 4 car garage turned studio filled to the brim with audio gear until I downsized and got rid of almost all of it. It got to a point to where I just didnt know where to start recording anymore and I burnt out. I would dabble more than create.. so I turned a small fortune and stopped recording about 3 years ago until recently I am getting back into it again. Nothing major tho (for now). Just 5 good mics, yamaha cs1x keys with midi, drums, bass, guitar, percussive stuff, steinberg urrt2, grace m101 for clean headroom, and that's it.
Wonderful your studio and great equipment. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I am always watching from here in Brazil. Congratulations on the great drum sound !!!

Hi Jake,- here´s a few suggestions with regards to various drum related content you could discuss on your YT channel:
How about different kinds of tutorials,- I´m not thinking about playing tutorials,- plenty of those as it is,- but more in the way of illustrations of different kinds of genre specific drum setups, ways to record those setups, and their various tonal characteristics: Ie,- big bands, 70s folk, 60 psychedelia, 60s-70s funk, blues-rock, jazz trio, 80s gated compression ( think Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight), 80s stadium rock, classic rock/metal- Black Sabbath/ Deep Purple/LedZep, 80s wide open sound( Eric Singer- Black Sabbath - 7th.

Tons of possibilities to get your channel of the ground,- and I for one will be looking forward to every single upload.
Like I did with Andrew I´m gonna leave you for now with a few treats of music from bands and in styles you´ve likely never heard of for you to acquaint yourself with, so here comes the first introduction:
Operatic Symphonic Progressive Melodic Euro-Folk Metal.
Biggest and most popular genre of rock music on the international scene,- been developing and going on for more than twenty-five years and though growing in popularity in the US and Canada virtually nobody outside of a devoted fan base in the northern regions of the Americas knows it even exits.

The reason I find this important to tell you people in the US about is because I´ve watched many a US YT channel discussing the total absense of rock music in the contemporary US radioland,- and people are complaining that rock music is dead,- well it´s not, especially not outside of the US and Canada,- but maybe the US scene has grown stale and a little set in its ways?
My idea is that what worked for us could work for ya´ll,- so,- Bluegrass metal, anyone? Why not? :)
An introductory playlist,- a bit of folk,- so you can hear where things came from,- and a bit of rock/metal so you can hear what they developed into:

Love it! I've got some homework to do! I'll try to reciprocate with some good quality content.
@@JakeReedmusic Looking forward to whatever´s gonna come from you.
Came from the Andrew channel! One more subs. Keep it up
Rad! Thanks for subscribing!
I genuinely enjoyed this. All of your bass drums sound so great. How do you get the 18“ and 28“ sound that gnarly?
Thank you! Most of it is tuning, beater choice, and how I'm hitting it. The last 15% ... totally making up that number by the way ... is processing.
Jake Reed Yeah - and that kind of processing would be very interesting.
@@alexhoeffken most of the processing is just on the drum bus ... like using a decapitator or radiator plug-in.
dude, you have to do a series of videos about these different drum sounds
I will! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Would love to hang out round your place for a day!
Would love to hear see workflow with compression as it's so important on drums!
Duly noted! One day!
secondeded!
Me too plz
Love it man - you are a drummer's drummer Mr Jake
Thank you!
Sweet rig dude!
Thanks!
Wow!
Muito bom! Parabéns pelos equipamentos! Grande abraço de Brasília, Brasil!
Thank you!!!
Yummy mics sound yummm 😋
Andrew Masters got me here. Sup man!
Sup! Yay, Andrew! Thanks for stopping by ... more to come as soon as I figure out what to do next ... so many options!
each mic is as vintage as the kit and all at least $1,000 each. i like your style! especially that 441 senny ol boi
Thanks! The secret is to never pay full price.
@@JakeReedmusic exactly. used is still new to me. by the way my old man is jealous of the Stache!
Great setup 👍
sick
totes sick.
Help I smashed the like button too hard and now my computer is stuck on your drum channel
Sorry! Do I need to start saying "figuratively smash" ... definitely don't want to say "literally smash" like all the kids these days.
@@JakeReedmusic I figured out how to get unstuck. I watched hours and hours of your drum footage and then played a perfect paradiddle sequence on my keyboard. Boom!
@@ChrisWurst1 lol ... exactly!
Good staff dude
Hi Jake. Could you do a video on different drum stick sizes? I use Vic Firth American Classic 5A but would like to know what benefit the other sizes are and what different styles of drumming you would use them in. I've pretty much always been a 5A user but knowing what the differences are would make a good video. I just found this video from AM's Q&A. Cool tour by the way. Cheers.
Michael Jones sure! I could do a video on sticks at some point!
You're like the Zach Galifianakis of the drumming community
Greaettttt home studio, can you talk about the treatment you made in your room?
Cheers 🇧🇷.
Thanks! One of my friends builds studios here in LA. He did all of the acoustic treatment in this room. The two most important things he did were to put fabric along one entire wall and the other was he built a cloud to go over the drums. Definitely helps to control weird flutters/reflections in the room, which is really important for drums.
Great video. You make that room do a lot and I wish I could go back in time and start collecting more/better/different drums.
I watched the whole video hoping you would talk about what sits behind your throne, to the left of your trackpad. Metronome? Monitoring mixer? Did I miss it?
Behind me is my headphone box and I have a second keyboard and trackpad connected via bluetooth to my computer so I don't have to get up from the drums as much.
Thanks for the reply. What kind of headphone box do you use?
You forgot to mention what sort of tissue box setup u have next to the ribbon mics’ best be clear of all of the treats bro 😆🤘🥁🤘
LOL
Woooow!! This is amazing!!
I discovered your work and I'm only one of your biggest fan!!
Please can you tell me where did you find this really cool microphone-clip with which you can put together the SM57 and the AKG451?
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! The 57/451 clip was a gift a bass player friend found for me online. I believe he found it on Amazon.
@@JakeReedmusic Thanks a lot!!
Subbed Andrew a few weeks ago,- been having a great and interesting time following him and his world ever since.
Subbed you today,- looking forward to learning more about the drummer´s world in the studio from you.:)
Am myself a Scandinavian metal musician ( vocals, guitar, bas, composing, recording etc.) heavily into a specific European style of music that I have been introducing Andrew and Ariana to lately,- so he (they) would know where I´m coming from when I comment on topics he´s discussing.
Looking forward to getting to know your world too.
Btw.,- as the German say. " That ´stache ist einfach der Hammer!"
Rad! Thanks for introducing yourself ... Andrew is the man! I'm not sure what topic I'll cover next, but I know it'll be fun. Would love to check out this European style of music you're talking about!
Erskine Yamaha Recording Customs!! Yes!!!
Awesome !
I noticed that you use the Wave's API comp
do you like it more than the UAD's or other emulation ?
Im thinking of buying it by watching your videos
love your vids & playing & sense of humour. Hey that cool little clip that attaches sm57 to akg 451 - you have a link for where to find? Or is it custom 3d printed? You use Lauten snr mic more these days anyway? thx
It was a gift from a friend. I believe he got it on Amazon? 3D printed.
ce mur de caisse clair.........whaouuuu
Hi Jake! Thank you for a great tour! Is there a chance to see in detail how you built your array for DPA/Coles OH mics? Maybe in some other video that I missed? Thanks!
Thanks! It’s a Manfrotto triple mic holder: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/503258-REG/Manfrotto_154B_154_Triple_Microphone_Holder.html
@@JakeReedmusic thank you! Your idea with XY condensers and Coles from the same spot is perfect! Thank you again! All the best!
Happy to help!
Oh yes mr sir!
Thank you!
i was waiting for the harmonica and guitar to start for "when the levee breaks" by zeppelin.
haha
