Captured on tape on one take. No editing, no sound replacer, no drum samples and no additional reverb. Mr Toni Paananen gets into the zen state of mind from the beginning and creates a mesmerizing performance of one of our all time favorite track: America from the legendary West Side Story musical. Please don't let the beginning fool you as Toni plays it exactly as on the original. There web pages full of info and debate about the beginning and the strangeness of the rhythm. Recorded on RTM SM900 2" tape on Otari MTR-90mk2 2" 24 track tape machine and mixed to RTM SM900 1/4" stereo tape on Studer A812 using Trident Vector 432 mixing console along with hardware only. #astiastudio #tonipaananen #america #westsidestory #analog #drumcover #onetake #noediting #nosoundreplacer #nodrumsamples #noadditionalreverb #keepitreel #rtm #recordingthemasters #sm900 #tapethat #fullanalogexperience #vovox

Tama Drums Superstar Hyper-drive played by the awesome mr Artem Zhibar recorded on tape by Anssi Kippo @ Astia-studio. This is how real drums sound without plugins, without sound replacer, without editing and without any artificial drum samples. The reverb is our A-studio drum room only. No artificial reverb was used. This way of recording delivers not only the drummer's skills but also the sound of drums unlike the empty, unreal and hollow sound of sampled or sound replaced drums. We hope you enjoy this demonstrational video! :) Recorded on Rtm SM900 2" tape. Mixed on Rtm SM900 1/4" tape. #astiastudio #artemzhibar #tama #superstar #hyperdrive #noplugins #realsound #keepitreel #drums #realdrums #nosoundreplacer #analog #tape #studiodrums #rtm #sm900 #vovox #fullanalogexperience
