10 perfect EMO drum beats Tim Buell 2022-11-10 | 10 perfect EMO drum beatsDownload the FREE notation PDF here: bit.ly/3UqaXuSNow THAT is a trip down memory lane - these are all songs I grew up listening to and drumming along with in middle school and high school. Underoath, Emery, Paramore, The Used...these bands were my LIFEBLOOD. After 20 years it was fun to revisit these songs and actually learn these drum beats note for note.This was filmed in one take and uses zero samples, let me know in the comments if you would watch a mix breakdown (I'm super happy with these tones!). There are a few spots where the notation differs from my playing, that's because the transcriptions are notated from the source material - not my performance.

How To Do Remote Drum Recordings (the right way) Tim Buell 2020-04-04 | Remote drum sessions are something I've been doing for several years now, and it took me a WHILE to learn the ropes are really dial in every step of the "recording drums at home" process. I had to learn how to dial in my drum sounds, program samples, use Pro Tools, set up my Pro Tools session, and a TON of other things that no one ever taught me in "drum school". The recording process for doing drum overdubs or "remote recording sessions" looks like this: 1. Set up your session in Pro Tools (or whatever DAW you use)2. Program any electronic drum parts or extra percussion you might need. 3. Record you acoustic drums.4. Edit your drums (beat detective, grid your drums, layer in kick and snare samples)5. Export, organize, and send your filesThere are so many steps in this process I didn't understand before I started actually working with producers and engineers that told me what they actually want/need from the drummer sending them the sessions files.More videos you might enjoy on the topic of recording:Logic vs Pro Tools: youtu.be/Ox9P5xnLkZkProfessional Drum Mic Set Up (on a budget): youtu.be/nRZw2wAc0_M

Are Drum Samples BAD? (How to Use Drum Samples) Tim Buell 2019-11-14 | Drum samples are a hotly debated topic. Some think that using drum samples is bad and evil because you should only record/mix 'REAL drums'. Others think that you should just throw up one microphone and then sample REPLACE everything after recording. I believe there are certain instances where drum samples can be VERY useful, so let's demonstrate a few uses where I think drum samples can really help.
