Drum Room Adventures
Recording and Mixing Room Mics for bigger Rock & Metal Drum Tones
with Kristian Kohle (Aborted, Powerwolf, Electric Callboy, Kanonenfieber, Wisdom in Chains)
Room tracks are the wild card of drum production — capable of adding anything from depth and space to aggression, character, detail, or sheer chaos. But many producers don’t really know how to use them effectively — or even realize what’s possible. This course is packed with ideas and techniques that will inspire you to rethink how you approach drum room sounds entirely.
In Drum Room Adventures, Kristian Kohle dives deep into how he records and mixes room tracks to bring drums to life — whether it’s to make them sound bigger, more detailed, nastier, or more unique.
