Drums: Sessions 2 & 3

I started the session early in the morning, I was at the studio before 8:00. I did a one fix take for the song recorded yesterday, and managed to record one of the slower songs.  The song itself was easy to nail, but it has a drum solo in the middle which made it a difficult one to capture. I decided to do it early in the sessions while I still have some stamina left in my muscles.

After a lunch break, I recorded one fast song and another slow one.  The fast song was easy to capture, it has a 12/8 feel throughout the song. The slow one was a bit more difficult, as the tempo tends to drift when I have no reference while playing and the groove is slow. Well, I think both of them ended up nicely.

I managed to mess the mic input levels while changing the battery of H6. More work for me, now I have to take care that the tom levels are even in every song I mix in the future.

I have one doom song left, and then the last one which is kind of a Immigrant Song type of up-beat tune. I try to record the slow one still today and maybe leave the upbeat song for tomorrow.
