This page is dedicated to the gear heads out there who want to know the gear rundown. I have listed the drums, hardware, pedals, software and recording equipment I use to record my videos.
I usually configure my kit as a 4 piece, but rotate different size drums in and out depending on what the project calls for. I will make a blog post about the bass drum cutdown I had done a few years ago. 
 I do not have a relationship with any of the companies for the products I use at this time.

Recording Gear

Here is the short story of how my process works.

Audio: I record the drums into Logic using the Scarlett 18i20 to a drumless track and then mix drums in to sound more natural.

Video: I sync the recorded mixed audio of the song with the video I captured while recording my drum tracks using Final Cut Pro.

What I use to Make Videos

  • Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen
  • Shure SM57 x2 (OH)
  • Shure SM58 w/o screen (snare)
  • AKG D112 MKII (bass drum)
  • Hercules Mic Stands
  • Logic Pro
  • Final Cut Pro
  • iPhone Camera & GoPro 11
  • Westone In Ear Monitors
  • Time and Patience
