38 individual drums were perfectly tuned and performed by top-tier drummer, Derico Watson. All drums were recorded in three different rooms to ensure maximum sonic versatility. The key to DRUMLAB’s alchemy is an advanced layering technique used by top hitmakers to give drums maximum weight and punch in a mix. 80 electronic layers from a range of classic and modern drum machines were expertly matched, phase aligned, faded, and pitched with the acoustic samples.
