Hey Friends, this week I'm taking you behind the scenes on a recent shoot for a very talented local drummer, Sam Barnes. Filming a drummer has its challenges so in this behind the scenes video I'm showing equipment for filming drummers, techniques for filming drums, How to light drums and the complete post production breakdown of how i edited the drum videos together.

Filming a session drummer whilst recording live audio was a lot of fun and i hope you get some benefit from this behind the scenes style video.
