Big Drum Sound Recording Techniques with Angus Wallace at Far Heath Studios

We set up an unusual Drum Recording day at Far Heath Studios with engineer Angus Wallace. Angus came up with his idea a while back after being inspired by tales of early U2 records having their drums recorded in a metal booth and we were interested so arranged to be there with cameras to follow the progress.Sadly, the RP house was broken in to and all of the cameras stolen so rather than abandon the day we decided to film with an iPhone and Angus had a friend come with another camera to help. As it happened, the iPhone footage and audio was used for most of this filming. It is grainy, not as crisp etc but it did a remarkable job.Watch the video to find out how things went but in summary, a really good omni mic did the best job of capturing this interesting sound.We hope that this inspires others to experiment and look forward to requests from others to come and film alternatives of this concept or other interesting methods.
