AAR students brush up on drum micing techniques

Current AAR students learn how to mic a drum kit, and re-amp guitars -

with the help of some familiar faces

Jordan Dobbelsteyn, July graduate & accomplished drummer lent us his talents

Cayle Charlton, another familiar face in the calgary scene explaining the basics of
drum micing from a musicians point of view

Josh Carlson & Nathan Silva recording

On top of learning how to properly mic a drum kit to get those aggressive metal tones, the students
also learned how to properly re-amp guitar tracks - including signal flow, head settings & cab combo's and mic placement

Well done everyone!
