Gone are the days when you needed a full-sized kit in your garage to recreate the sounds of the classic bands of the past. Now, when every drum sound ever produced can be recreated digitally by a box small enough to fit in a drawer, it's absurdly simple to create drum sounds in your own home studio that traditionally would have taken a stage packed with toms, snares, cymbals and percussions to produce.

Practical Recording is a guide to using this technology to generate your own killer rhythm lines. By way of a series of step-by-step tutorials, the secrets of sequencing and sound manipulation are revealed, and a crash course in basic music theory provides a foundation for creating your own lines. With just some basic gear, a few cables and Practical Recording 4, you could be laying down fills, grooves and paradiddles in no time.
