Combining acoustic & electronic drums

Modern music productions often blend the rich and natural sound of acoustic drums with the punch and drive of drum machines and samples.

In this video Ben Lindell will show you how to combine and shape these two different but complimentary sources to create the foundation of a rhythm section that you can use in any genre you will work on.

You will learn how to analyze and improve the phase relationship between bass drums, make snares pop out of the mix and get a a fatter, vibey sound, while at the same time using the natural overheads and room sounds to add depth and dimension to the groove.

All these aspects combined will give you a skill set to produce your next unique, refined and professional drum sound.
