Here are 3 ways to instantly get those SWEET 70s drum sounds

I'm a huge fan of classic drum tones from the 1970s ... those thuddy, beefy, deep, dead sounds that can be heard on so many albums from that era. Here are 3 ways to access those sweet, buttery tones pretty quickly and how I go about recording them.

1. Cloth taped to the edge of the drum head
2. Cover the entire drumhead with cloth
3. Rolled-up pieces of tape placed around the perimeter of the drumhead

Remember, it's all about finding the balance between "too dead" and "too much ring" ... listen for the low end (the fundamental) in the drum!

Let me know about your favorite way to get these tones, even if it's not on the list!
