Studio Diary Part 3 | Recording the drums

Need more cowbell

Hey!

Sorry for late answer to very old posts but here we go. The triggers are just there for opening gates or making it easier to strip silence when editing. We don't use the for triggering samples. Same goes for the snare but there we also use the trigg mic acoustically to add crack to the snare sound.

Cheers,

Peter

[tiagoshade]

Watching again.... Peter, the snare you´re using is the old 10"?

[metaldrummer3211]

Awesome :D, despite the tom and snare triggers :(

[kaosM914]

whats so bad about the triggers, and before you even say they are cheating are sound like crap, its becoming more popular to use both mics and triggers and mixing both sounds to get the "perfect sound". you get the attack of the triggers and the tone of the acoustics and let me tell you it works really really really well

[metaldrummer3211]

I suppose, but it just doesn't seem necessary to use them for Peter's style. I would expect tom triggers from bands that have a lot more blast beats like Vader, Morbid Angel, Behemoth, and Lost Soul. I think that triggers don't allow for groove that is more common with thrash metal. I'd double up the mics for the drums; and trigger the kicks with additional mics. However, Darkane isn't a standard thrash metal band and Demonic Art is still a really good album.

[kaosM914]

@metaldrummer3211 you dont need to be a death metal drummer to use triggers. its more of a tool than a requirement. anybody who wants that type of sound can use them. plus microphones arent perfect (neither are triggers) but sometimes mics wont pick up every note played.

[Denleavy]

@kaosM914 exactly man, nothing wrong with them atall

[Incisionator]

Despite your answer, I have to say the drums sound great.

[tiagoshade]

peter peter peter..... ever....

[ankbarr2]

bara så alla vet så "slutet på vers riffet spelar gitarren..peeree peereedee"

[Deltidsharmonisk]

Tracking the drums to already recorded guitars? that's unusual, to me. Sounds cool.

[XsuspendedX]

Most bands of this stature have usually completed Pre-Production before they go to record, most of the time the guitars carry over from Pre-Production to assist the drummer when it comes time to record to a click track because well a click track is annoying and can actually be more of a hinderance. Pre-Recorded guitars also help the drummer stay on time and be in the right spot and if you had the choice wouldn't you rather?. the guitars are then re-recorded to match the drums more closely.

[coldtragedy]

@Deltidsharmonisk you always have at least a rough guitar track or guitars from pre-pro when you start recording drums

that's actually pretty normal

so you have a click track and pre-pro guitars as a guidance for the drummer

[amazingfantasy66]

lol computer froze

[nevDRUM125]

hes amazing at incorporating more than just insane double bass 24/7.

he throws in intense rhythm backed by short bursts of quick bass.

[RobbieChopSticks]

"Can you do it better?" Ahahahahaha

[Tekkenfreek234]

Darkane has a wickedly awesome drummer!

[Thobuz]

Peter was my math teacher.... I hope he comes back :D

[Tekkenfreek234]

You had a wickedly awesome math teacher then!

[Drummerthatismetal]

I really dont' know, is Darkane Canadian?

[Schloo]

Swedish

[Drummerthatismetal]

Okay, thanks! :D

[vetegrodd]

Peter is insanely good!!! I can't believe how tight he is, a programmed drum-machine coudn't give you the rythm this guy gives you. He has an extreme "dancing" feeling on vibes and rythmics of a puls, some of the hits and beats touches my soul in an almost shivering way! I know you can't say who the best drummer is, cuz of all different styles, tequniques and tastes.. But if someone asks me who the greatest drummer in the world is I shout without doubt: Peter Wildoer! He does it for me!!!

[Tekkenfreek234]

Some of his best drumming was on Layers Of Lies

[ShaemusTheUndead]

"its called a bomb blast "

actually its a skank beat :P

[twilightzone2012]

what do you call that fast kind of beat at 56 seconds? can someone please tell me where i can download a drum track that has that straight beat on a continous loop so i can write a song to it on guitar? please. not a blast beat, but just that fast drum beat id like to play along with a fast beat like that on a continous loop

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

its called a bomb blast

[trizzleseven]

what is a bomb blast?! I would call it a thrash-beat!

never heard of bomb blast. Whats are the characteristics for a bombblast?

[mexicutiner88]

No yea it is a thrash beat there is no such thing as a bomb blast

[mexicutiner88]

Its a thrash beat and virtually every metal band uses it specially thrash metal and death metal

[Sinuz200]

it's called thrash aarrrg -.-

[seanshallperish]

thats a fucken big ass studio!!

[taintsofliberty]

Hes got the sickest style man!!!

[megabassmasta]

I love dirty girls :P XD It was funny :P

[505Viking]

Wildoer is the man

[Shattered12]

peter ftw! He's really the best drummer

[sikkis]

this is awesome!

[morbida]

HAHA O3:49 XD

[metaldrummer3211]

lol @ chris grabbing his beer gut

[Db7b5]

Yeah! But Peter Wildoer is a pretty damn good math/drum-teacher, though. It would be a shame if he stopped teaching.. And besides. They have okay jobs. It's not like their working in sweatshops with lousy pay in order so they can afford the rent.

You're the one who's crying. Not them :P

[tiagoshade]

PETER ROCKS A LOT!! I´m still watching every day this video!! whattahell!!

[Fagleboo]

I don't think that's the case.

You gotta be pretty darn successful and hard working (touring) to be able to live off metal.

Agreed that Darkane really deserve it though!

[tonicmass]

One of the best bands there is, and one of the best Swedish bands!! ( same thing )

[Construcdeaddrums]

Coolt med blast!!:)
