There are a million ways that you can glue your drums together… Things like: Ambient room mics saturation, tasteful use of reverb, simple drum bus compression… These all help add to the perceived glue of your drum mix. I’ve found that I sometimes require that extra bit of glue and cohesiveness even after I’ve emptied my usual bag of production tricks for getting my drums to sound like a unified instrument. As you may know, I hate overly complex processing and prefer to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible. The fewer plugins I use, the better. If you’re anything like me, you probably want to dial in real results fast. In my latest tutorial, I show you how I apply drum glue with ONE plugin. No fancy trickery… just a single plugin on my stereo drum bus (utilizing one key ingredient) tweaked the way I like it.
