Recorded at DLM studio, and mixed at Sainte Marthe studio.

The drums on ‘I Will Harm,’ off the forthcoming “Miserable Miracle,” were recorded in three completes takes. Take 2 was chosen as the main one. No quantification was used. No trigger except on kick drum (trigger and microphone).

There is no special effect on the snare. The pitch is changed while playing by blowing in a pipe that goes in the snare drum through the decompression vent.

The goal with my drumming on this song was to play something very full, overpowering, and agonizing. Hence, very long double bass drums single stroke roll was an evidence for me. Then this technique of the “breathing snare drum” appears to me like the perfect solution to make the song stranger. Please listen with a good audio system.

Kevin proudly endorses Trick Drums USA drum pedal and trigger.
