Drummer Comments:
Practice the way you want to record for at least a month beforehand and then just relax in the studio. Make sure your studio engineer knows how to properly tune and record drums! Doug White at Watchmen was killer. I was able to relax and concentrate on playing and he made the drums sound great with no hassles and in a short amount of time. Hell yeah!
