Write Riot Right! Drums

I started recording with my beloved drumkit Spike (for the uneducated reader, that is my drum set which I acquired with the money I made off my fifteenyearsjubilee). We started at 12 o’ clock in the afternoon and I tried to record the drums alone at first.. We soon heard that the metronome that felt natural for me was way to fast and we tried for the better part of an hour to find a proper metronome for our song.. After some mongering with these elements of our recordingsession we decided to track the drums and the the rhythm guitar simultaneously to capture the original energy of the song (which only contained guitar and drums to start with). We used a number of cool mics on the drums including a pot (like the ones you boil stuff in) on the bassdrum and an odd kind of mic placed near the floor on the left side of the bassdrum that worked as some kind of distortionmic. I was also told to place the drums off centre and to face them towards the corner where the door was located to make the natural tone in my drums to cooperate with the frequencies in the room.. As far as playing this particular song goes I tried to draw inspiration and ideas from jazzy stuff and the kind of drums you would expect from old bigbandsessions and the likes, and this is where the intro came from, as well as the chattering and applauding troughout the song (I consider these drumtracks allthou they are not drums at all. They still interact with what im playing and if viewed artistically has the same effect as percussives backing the drums)
