A number of leading recording engineers and record producers gathered at Modern World Studios in the UK countryside mid January 2010 to record a series of drum recording masterclass videos. Each contributor covered drum recording, microphone placement, drum tuning and much more from their point of view and experience.
This video features George Shilling. George is a successful record producer, recording engineer, musician and journalist writing for leading music industry magazines. In this video George takes the ‘recording on a budget’ perspective.
Special thanks to everyone that attended, Sean Genockey, Simon Turner, George Shilling, James Towler and Greg Haver. Special thanks also to everyone at Modern World Studios for making us so welcome that we want to come back and do more of these!






The drum master class was the best excuse for having a day off work ever. I learnt more in one day at modern world studios from just hanging out and talking to the various producers and engineers, than I did spending three years at university. A big thanks for the invite, and I will definitely be heading down to the next master class.
