A lovely day of filming done for a TV project. This show has an episode featuring an artist (not sure if we can say who) building a track from scratch using Taonga Puoro with electronic elements. Amazing!

We managed to get a little bit of maintenance in between sessions yesterday on our lovely Solid State Logic (SSL) 4K. Note the on the silk screening on the pcb, this desk was custom made for the one and only Peter Gabriel back in 1986!

This week we are lucky enough to have laying down the drums for their next album. We went with hybrid kick and a Tom’s with pinstripes for that 90’s thrash vibe. Dialling in the tone is next level fun.

Wow have hit it out of the park with their Pure Plate verb. So easy to use on acoustics, you don’t get any splatter just lovely lush verb. Pop an EQ in front and tweak to taste.

Now that’s what you call an organic percussion rig!

I have many drums that smell like Mahogany, well just one actually! Whoops I did it again, another snare. This time a vintage 1982 Superstar 14x8 in Mahogany. It’s a true classic and sounds incredible.
