Let me guess — you’ve spent hours tuning, miking, and recording your drums, but when you hit playback… they sound weak, right?

They’re thin, flat, and have none of the power you hear on your favorite metal records.

Here’s the good news — it’s totally fixable.

In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down five reasons your drum recordings sound amateur and giving you a step-by-step guide to fix each one.

Here’s what I cover:

• Why your room is the biggest instrument you own (and how it’s killing your tone)
• The right way to tune and maintain your kit so it actually sounds pro
• Mic placement secrets that separate pros from amateurs
• The missing element that makes your recordings sound small
• Why performance and consistency matter more than plugins

If you’ve ever wondered why your drums sound flat and lifeless, this episode will show you exactly how to get that massive, professional, and punchy sound — right from your own studio.
