With Al Lawson, Gareth Grover and
the EVO Expanded System
EVO 16 & SP8 could be the perfect pairing to record a drumkit – but how can a drummer and producer work together to become their own perfect pair?
We took a trip to Tileyard London to meet up with Pro Session Drummer Gareth Grover (Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes) and experienced Engineer, Producer & Mixer, Al Lawson. Al takes us through all of the microphones he uses on Gareth’s kit to get the best flexibility and power – and how the EVO 16 and EVO SP8 in the Expanded System give him the scope to capture extra sources such as room microphones to get a full sound for use in the mixing session.
“The room is a huge part of what the drums sound like, and the characteristics of the drummer who’s playing them. But the rest of it is principally how the sound is being absorbed or how it’s bouncing around. ” – Al Lawson
We also see Gareth and Al using Smartgain to cut down on setup time and make the most of the session. The EVO Expanded system allows for them to set the perfect levels across all 16 channels (or even 24 if required) in under 20 seconds.
