Dominic Howard - Recording The Small Print

[webros16]

Recording drums is the most annoying thing any musician can be faced with. Any tips?

[foravaine]

have I gone deaf? or is the audio too low ?

[Odalys844]

DOM IS SO AWSOME

[SpectraNorway]

Dom is god. He doesn`t even need to play with a metronome... The metronome plays with him

[ydiaz2091178]

He's brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nocturnezero]

Suddenly I'm inspired to throw some Christmas lights up around my kit.

[drumchris92]

his pedal is making weird sounds!

[musette22xx]

There should be more videos of him recording up here on youtube :( i can only find this one.

[Musefan6732]

Alot of drummers have been switching to Dw, because ever since DW made the discovery of designing drums where they go against the grain and make alot deeper and overall better sound that no other drum company has. And no other drum company can really compete with dw in my opinion, I wish they weren't so bloody expensive, or I wasn't so poor!(They're so expensive because of how long they take to make, plus materials to make them)

[kaposniak]

nice

[musedoom]

Cool vid man.We can see how Dom records drums parts.

[pspdejavi]

that's because the metronomer is too loud

[ntlaia]

This is my favourite song from Absolution and for my moments of anger! (:

[CineMuse5]

badass drummer!

[YourDailyLaughz]

He said 'scrap that one' but why?

[YouSWETube]

what's he saying in the end?

[YouSWETube]

that's awesome! :D

[nightshot999]

maybe he likes this kit to record with. Does sound amazing.

[zwaardwalvisje]

Next time they release a live dvd with multi angle view (like Hullabaloo) you should have the option to just watch him the whole concert long. I would so do that :)

[mercyalex]

But.. this is a DW drums! Sure, look at toms hardware! The funny thing is that Dom is endorsed by TAMA and for the recording sessions he uses..a DW!

[mrmadadam]

true...what confused me is the use of the gretsch kit at wembley stadium...how did he get away with that one, seeing that he has an exclusivity contract with tama....

[justinsong514]

Even if he is endorsed, he might not have to use only TAMA. It depends on the contract between Tama and Dominic Howard. A friend of mine who used to be endorsed by Dexter guitars and Hughes & Kettner told me that.

[bdrums777]

he was using a dw kit when they performed on mtv for the vmas. maybe he switched?

[justinsong514]

I think the endorsement is over now..

'cause he's been using DW drums since the Teignmouth gig

And DW don't do any endorsement I think

[themoaspecial]

Im pretty sure he was even using a Ludwig Black Beauty Snare for Wembly Stadium. I guess the thing is that if they are recording the show and putting it on DVD Dom or his drum tech thought that it would be best to use those drums for recording live and as long and you can clearly, most of the time see the Tama Logo it should be ok with Tama. Im the same. Im Tama endorsed and I use a DW snare drum live (you cant really see the DW badge where I set it) but use the rest of my DW kit for recordings.

[nocturnezero]

@mrmadadam He probably Dom-talked them out of it.

[troymellor]

@mrmadadam whats been said is that the contract expired

[jajajeomaiskaal]

@mrmadadam

Dom is not an endorser of TAMA, but he is an endorser of DW Drums. You can look it up on Wikipedia. He's not listed between the endorsers on the TAMA page, but he is listed on the DW page and it also says he endorses DW on his own Wikipedia page.

I find that really donfusing to çause most of the times he uses a TAMA kit...

[TysweetMusic]

@jajajeomaiskaal He switched to DW for the resistance

[jajajeomaiskaal]

@TysweetMusic

Ok, I didn't know that... But did he first switch from DW to Tama and then back to DW? Because in this video from 2000 he is already playing a DW kit:

/watch?v=kGAtKBbvo2A

[TysweetMusic]

@jajajeomaiskaal Yeah I remember him saying that he had used DW in the past before Tama

[TdrumsRHCP]

@mrmadadam It doesn't necessarily mean he can't play on a Gretsch.

[mrmadadam]

@TdrumsRHCP not when a massive stadium concert is being filmed and then published to DVD for worldwide sale...but yeah, there must have been a loophole and I'm sure they got around it...

[promathia1]

@mercyalex but isn't this his set from Showbiz era?

[gerben106]

@mercyalex i don't think tama cares about what dom uses in the studio, the most important thing for them is that the tama kit will be used on stage, where everybody can see it

[dielbe]

@mercyalex He only had to use a TAMA kit for live shows

[lucestellare06]

Dom is so amazing! Containing that much awesomeness in one room is like dividing by zero.

[attershja]

He always looks so happy. XD
