EXCELENT - Quick and to the point !!!

The writing is clear and simple. It will give you a very clear idea of what you have to do.
This is a most if you are starting to record drums or even if you have done it in the past but have no real knowledge.
This book is really good and will make you get good results in no time !!!!

Pretty Good!
This was a quick read and probably could be even more condensed but still good tips! It really helped remind me of some of the more basic techniques of recording than just the "perfect" sound for drums. Great diagrams. If you want more advanced book, this is not it.
