To the start I created quite minimalistic drum kit from recorded samples of only few items which were present in my room. Kicks and toms were made from hitting empty laundry basket with mallet sticks and hats were made from ceramic tea pot.

I have recorded the sound of duct tape at the moment with no clear idea how I will use it. I simply enjoyed the sound and its texture when the tape was being stretched and peeled. I have used the tape sound later as a miscellaneous glitchy textures throughout the composition.

For recording of every single sample I have used Condenser stereo microphone sets listed below. I have compared how they sound and chosen various sample based on personal preference.

AKG C414 Condenser Stereo Microphone set generally appeared to catch more high mids and high frequencies and AKG C451 Condenser Mic Stereo set was richer in the low end.

I have uploaded selected samples into a Drum Rack in Live and added various effects in order to enhance their sound. Started with EQ, added various amounts of compression on kicks and toms by using Drum Buss compressor and added some colour by using Amp as a distortion. I also achieved interesting sounds bending the pitch of various samples either steadily or on timeline with automation (mainly with the glitch sounds).
