To each their own. I think there are some overrated famous drummers on YouTube but there are also some really talented folks.

Thanks, very useful post!

David Campos is good too.

www.recordingrevolution.com is a great resource too. The guy who runs it has some YouTube tutorials that I find helpful.

I just picked up an ebook called "The hackers guide to drum recording" which has a good chapter on drum tuning. It's is a wicked resource in general for drum recording. Some of the stuff is kinda advanced for me, but I'm sure I'll get it when I get better at the whole recording thing... The guy...

Yeah, Meytal is a hottie for sure. Lux Drummerette is too, haha :P Travis Orbin is really amazing technique wise, he's totally ambidextrous. I've never seen anyone play so easily both right and left handed.

You can compose the drums entirely digitally (using a keyobard and a drum sample library) without actually laying them, and still make them sound "real". If all your drum "hits" are the same velocity and are strictly on the grid, it will sound like a machine gun, but if you make them all...

YouTube is a great way to showcase what you're doing, but it's only really worth it if you know how to promote yourself. If you get a big following, you can get sponsored by drum gear companies and can join some affiliate programs and make commissions on different drum-related products. It's not...

You know, drummers who upload videos of themselves drumming onto YouTube and get a large following. I.e. Travis Orbin, Cobus, Meytal, etc.

Thank you! I totally agree with you Supercreep. HOW you do things is often more important than what kind of fancy gear you have. Has anyone read "Mixing with your mind"? It's a crazy book...

Have you been following any recording blogs aside from this forum? The right gear is good to have, but knowing what to do with it is even more important.

For the overheads, look into some cheap pencil condenser mics, there are a lot of them out there. There is a list of best mics for each drum on the LearnHowToRecord.com website. You have to sign up to get it but that's all I use. D112 or RE20 are good for kicks, and a 57 or md421 will be good...

There is a top 5 mic list on the Learn How To Record website for a bunch of different drums, you might want to check it out. You can also rent mics instead of buying them, dunno how often you need to them or if you can batch your recordings? It would definitely be cheaper.

Who are your favourite/best YouTube drummers in your opinion? What do you like about them and what have you learned from them?

Thanks for the tip about Tweakz, I'll check it out!

I think it depends on whatever feels more natural to the individual drummer, whatever gives him better flow and energy. You can either record him in multiple takes and then comp them together into one perfect take, or get him to play different parts separately and put it together that way. I...
