Loving that natural drum sound!

James is by far one of the best extreme guys out there today. So much speed, power, finesse, accuracy and groove combined. And he makes it looks so easy ! Killer performance & production.

I couldn't agree more Tino ! James is a top notch drummer, super easy and fun to work with. I would also mention that his dynamics are so musical even on his fast grooves and blast beats. Glad you liked the production!

@@georgebokos Absolutely ! I’ve seen him play live a couple of times, and even in touring conditions, the man can pull off this stuff. We catched up after one of the Decapitated shows, and he’s super cool and chill guy. :) Talking about the production, I spesificly liked the dynamics and very natural sound. How much did you let the mics and playing do the work so to speak ?

@georgebokos 4 дня назад

@@tino_drums666 Thank you for the nice words. Keeping the dynamics and going for the natural sound was my intention! During the recording, there is very minimal processing in the way in so the majority comes from the playing as James has a very dynamic playing, the mics and mic preamps and the room off-course which is live sounding. There is another video coming very soon where I am talking about the whole setup and the recording chain for this session, so keep an eye on sE RU-vid channel. I kept the same approach during mixing without over compressing and over processing the drums. This happens because the recording is very good. Significant role to the final organic sound are some really high end analog gear that I am using on the drum bus and on mastering. They give that extra bump which I really like.

This dude is totally killing it! Finally someone doing this kind of drumming, actually making drums sound like drums. Sound absolutely beautiful!

Hello Erix!! James is a monster behind the kit and I wanted to approach his powerful performance with an organic drum sound!! Glad you liked the sound of this recording!

@mikecaputoschin 3 дня назад

Great playing! So was this 5 takes mixed into 1? Since we never see any cameras in the shot. Impressive he is able to play the song the same multiple times in a row like this and just nail it. Really good editing too. Fantastic video

I'm stoked you got James Stewart for a demo. Love that. This mix is gonna take some getting used to. 🤣 It's cool though, reminds of old school Morrisound days.

@KeepItHood901 3 дня назад

Best it’s sounded since Vitek himself played it. Well done sir 💪🏼💪🏼

i cant believe why decap isn't as big as SLAYER

@Ohio.Gozaimasu 3 дня назад

Now that's more like it. I love this album (this and Winds Of Creation got me into tech death), but it has probably the loudest and fakest sounding triggers I've ever heard.
