The first part of the session did not go as smoothly as we had liked however. We had to do a bunch of trouble-shooting before we could proceed. Through the process of elimination we were able to determine a problem with mic wall plate "B" which inevitably delayed us by a couple of hours.

By this time our session drummer (Dustin) had plenty enough rehearsal time and was able to crank out a couple of "keepers" within the first couple of takes.</div><div>In the end patience prevailed and we were able to get Greg's song that much closer to completion.</div></div></div></div>
Here is a drum only track using the room mics only. I will post a mixdown of the entire kit in a later blog.
