Without knowing it, every drum I got my hands on I tried to make sound like my Recording Customs. Recently I've been doing more mixing and editing of the drum tracks I am asked to do. I'm amazed at the fact that I still get asked,' how do you mix your drums to sound like that?' It's all in the drums man! And of course, tuning!"
