I worked at the studio today, tracking drums for She Kills. Did I say ‘drums’? I meant to say “Massive Tough Drums of Thunder,” complete with double-kick pounding on your skull-style like a pair of aluminum baseball bats.
We had planned to record the drummer to a click track, but then we decided not to bother. With nineteen parts in a four-minute song it would have taken until next week to set up the tempo map. I think our man did just fine anyway.
I’m not saying these guys are metal or anything, but at one point there was some discussion about what backwards message to include at the end of the CD.
