During recording, we used recording techniques to get the most authentic sounds possible. For example for the vintage jazz kit we used ribbon mics, with the classic studio techniques needed to capture record-accurate sound.

Every drum and cymbal were recorded with up to 12 microphones. We also recorded the room, front and rear, to have to have the natural ambience of the great drum rooms we used.

Each kit was first setup in the typical recording positions, and then we pulled out the other drums and cymbals when recording for complete separation, but with natural microphone placements.
