# Advanced Drum Production with Eyal Levi Canonical URL: ## Overview Recording drums that sound both polished and authentic has always been something of a black art, one that isn't taught at any school and that you could only learn from a handful of elite engineers. Until now. In this three-day class, you'll learn the real-world production techniques that producer Eyal Levi uses every day at Audiohammer Studios on albums for bands like The Black Dahlia Murder, August Burns Red, Chelsea Grin, and Whitechapel. Eyal will show you how to select the right drums for the sound you're after, tune and set them up, and mic the kit. And yes, the legendary Sean Reinert (Cynic, Death) is the in-studio drummer. You'll also learn how to use virtual drums, including when to use Toontrack's Superior Drummer and other software instead of a live drummer. Finally, Eyal will reveal the closely kept secrets for polishing tracks, from editing and sample replacement to layering samples. By the end of this class, you'll know the trade secrets of high-end drum production and have a toolkit for creating world-class drum tracks. ## Instructors ### Eyal Levi Eyal Levi is a critically acclaimed educator, musician and producer.
