Witness the Power of Organic Drums — in Porto

Drums are the heartbeat of any great rock or metal production — and when they’re captured right, everything else falls into place. In this course, world-class producer and engineer Jaime Gomez Arellano takes you inside a live drum recording session in Porto, showing exactly how he creates his signature warm, vibey, and punchy drum sounds.

Gomez shares his philosophy on getting it right at the source — from selecting the perfect vintage drum kit and cymbals, to placing his favorite high-end mics in just the right spots. It’s all about choosing the right tools and using them with intention.

You’ll follow him through the full process, including drum tuning tips, the soundcheck, and tracking through a massive vintage Neve console. Watch as he introduces every mic on the kit, makes subtle EQ decisions, and brings it all together with clarity and energy.

Inside the course, you'll learn:

• How to choose and tune drums for maximum vibe and clarity
• Mic placement and gear choices from a master engineer
• the right attitude for finding your sound

And yes — you’ll get downloadable multitracks, including every mic and even one-shot samples of kick and snare, so you can explore the raw power of these drums in your own DAW.

Get inspired by the magic of energetic, real, and beautifully captured drums.
