“The Drum Recording Handbook” by Bobby Owsinski and our very own Dennis Moody. MIXERMAN might have not had the material to write his book if “Bitch Slap” had read any of the following Books… In summation, I enjoyed this book and you might too, Check it out! A major label can spend $3.5 million and end up with an unfinished record and only a handful of demos.Performers shortcomings can be “Fixed” by applying recording technology (off key, off beat etc… no problem).Commercial appeal is more valued than actual talent.Just under the surface you will also find a lot of sad truths about the biz, specifically: We all know players like this.Īnyway, once you get past the language and don’t take offense to the digs, this book is really entertaining I laughed out loud every time I picked it up. MIXERMAN describes this particular band as “talentless, petty, generally unlikable imbeciles.” (And I am sure that he does not have this opinion of all bands… otherwise why be in the biz at all?) If you are easily offended by profanity and a generally low opinion of musicians, then this is not a book you want to read.
