Session drummer Shay Godwin is endorsed by Vater Percussion. Godwin uses several Vater products when providing custom online drum tracks
for clients around the globe. One of the Vater drumstick models he uses is the Stewart Copeland Standard.
According to Godwin, “The Stewarts are a perfect medium-weight stick. They are similar to 5As but have a different balance and feel. One of my favorite things is the tip shape of this stick. It is a great compromise in terms of the conflict between getting fat tom tones and pristine cymbal tones that aren’t ‘clangy’ sounding.”
Here is a link to the Vater Stewart Copeland Standard page. These may be the sticks Godwin uses for your online drum tracks.
For years professional recordings were made only by those who had a large budget. Artists signed to major labels and those with investors were predominately the privileged ones who got record professionally.
The difference in sound between recordings made in a professional studio and demos made otherwise was always as chasmic as it is now.
However, with the advent of online recording studios has come a real “power to the people” type of situation. Now artists that don’t have huge budgets can get the professional studio recordings they need to make their music really stand out. This goes especially for drum tracks, as recording drums is the most complicated procedure requiring the most expertise.
Now artists don’t have to rent a room to record in, nor do most of the other work that used to be involved in obtaining pro drum tracks. One can now simply pay on online recording studio to track drums or other instruments, with no logistical fuss and huge budgetary requirements. Welcome to the revolution.
