Whats up guy’s, It's Nate coming at you with another episode of DrumTok. This week I am joined by producer, session drummer, drum tech, audio engineer, drum builder, one of my best friends and Owner of River Bear Studios, Isra Batista.

I am so excited about putting this episode out. Isra has experienced so much in his life as a person and a professional working in the industry. He has shared so much of that with me over the years and I’m excited for him to share pieces of it with you all in this episode.

We caught up by talking about what a recording day looks like for him, his upbringing, drums of course and his Five reasons why recording real drums is important.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Isra’s Five reasons why recording real drums is important:

1. The Experience
2. It provides Value
3. Opens Creativity - more options
4. Provides the Human Element
5. Easier to Mix

We really hope you enjoyed our chat and found some great tips that you can apply to your drumming and recording tool box. Remember, the best thing you can do after listening to this is apply it by DOING!!
