As soon as we showed up I had a good feeling about this record. We are down at GodCity Studio, in Salem MA. The drum room is amazing! The studio has wood floors, natural light and killer acoustics. Kurt is all about the drums (even though he is a guitar player) he has a in house drum tech, who does an amazing job. We spent the first day just getting drum sounds. Also, we tried a killer tom head combo, we used Evans EC2S on the top and Emperors on the bottom, it definetly gives them a thunderous sound! So we started the next day fresh, besides coming down with a serious case of allergies, got 4 songs done.
Today we got 4 more, 3 of which were at 240! The drums are sounding wicked and natural so far and the overall goal for the record is to have it sound as natural as possible. Tomorrow there are 3 more songs to do, then the drums are done! Over all, Kurt is amazing to work with and is a good producer. He is not afraid to tell you that a fill sounds like a bunch of 3rd graders at a Guitar Center playing! Stay tuned to sickdrummer.com for more information and some sneak preview video footage!
