You can read for a month...

and not learn as much as you would actually doing it for one day. that's because a book can't hear what your guitar sounds like, and they all sound different.

Drums? Kick boost around 65hz and again at 125, for the attack, again, if needed.

Snare won't need a boost, and toms are all different.

Knowledge cannot substitute for experience, and that's true in all aspects of life and recording. (write that down)
