Studio
Recorded at the iconic Warner Bros Eastwood Stage in Los Angles. This room is particularly well suited for percussion because of it’s large yet controlled ambiance. Venue to scores such as Man of Steel, Mad Max Fury Road, & Transformers, all of which are particularly known for their massive percussion.
Mics
Among a premium selection of dynamic, condenser and ribbon mics, Alan Meyerson also brought his collection of priceless vintage mics. Each player in the ensemble had a matched set of close mics and the room ambiance was captured with a mid room, decca tree, wide, and ambient set up.
