Drum Tracking: Pre-Session Checklist

Toms, Snare, Kick heads new or in new condition

Extra snare head

All drums tuned properly. Studio ring on snare head

Sticks are new or in new condition. Plenty of extras

Spent time practicing songs with click track before entering the studio (practicing in the studio can get expensive)

Got plenty of sleep. Wide awake and alert (without stimulants)

Practiced songs with full power so that the whole performance, every hit, will translate into the recording.

Attitude Check: This is my session. With the help of my engineer and producer, this is going to be my best performance yet.
