Hey Michael,

I actually recorded the drums on the Keifer record and would love to hear some feedback if you get a chance.

When ever I am doing something that I know I am mixing I usually record drums with no eq or compression so that the mix guy isn't boxed in by what I think sounds good. I have been yelled at in the past for doing this but what do you think about the approach? One mix guy hated me for doing it that way and then Justin Neibank (sp?) mixed something I did the same way and said "DON"T STOP I LOVE IT". I'll let you be the tie breaker.

Has it made it easier to mix the drums or harder?

Thanks,
Ben Strano
