Description
Drum Sound and Drum Tuning is a comprehensive guide to understanding and optimizing drum sound. By exploring the essential theories of percussion acoustics, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to achieve an optimised and personalised drum kit set-up.
The book covers topics such as drumhead vibration, drumhead equalisation, and resonant drumhead coupling, demystifying these complex concepts for drummers, sound engineers, and music students. You'll also learn about recording and production techniques specifically for drums, including studio technologies, room acoustics, microphone techniques, phase coherence, and mixing with advanced digital audio workstation (DAW) techniques.
With many practical hands-on exercises and example tutorials using Logic Pro and iDrumTune Pro software, you'll be able to put theory into immediate creative practice. The book also features primary interviews with renowned drummers, music producers, and sound engineers, providing real-world context for the theories discussed.
