Total Drumming is a collection of loops and samples by Mick Fleetwood, released on October 2, 2001.[1] The release is a compendium of over 800 drum loops, intended for the purchaser to use for their own projects[2][3] Fleetwood is featured as the only performer on all of the samples and the loops are formatted as WAV files.[4] The project was produced by Mike Scheibinger and Jonathon Todd, and was released by Sony Creative Software.[5]
Background
[edit]Before work started on this project, Fleetwood listened to some of his older material to determine what he would record in Blue Moon studio with Scheilbinger and Todd.[6] It took three hours to unpack all of Fleetwood's gear, which included drum kits, wind chimes, talking drums, udus, timbales, a gong, and various hand percussion.[7] The gong that Fleetwood played on this project was previous used on The Dance album in 1997; Todd had the instrument shipped to Blue Moon studio for the 2001 recording sessions.[6]
Over the course of two days, Fleetwood spent over 30 hours in the recording studio tracking various grooves, one-shots, and "an assortment of percussive sound bytes".[7] Several microphones were used to capture Fleetwood's instruments, including four Sennheiser MD421s on the tom drums, a Shure SM81 on the hi-hat, and an AKG C460 on the ride cymbal. Two ADK A51Ss served as stereo overhead microphones and two Milan VIP50s captured the ambiance of the room.[6]
