Hey. I just wanted to let you know, that I've been recording drum covers for a while and I have been using my tablet to record the drum covers and have been using a speaker to get the sound out. I've tried to find ways to make my videos better and ways to get the sound better. After I watched this video I ended up buying that iRig device. Just got it today and decided to give it a try. I plugged the iRig into my phone, plugged the guitar cable into iRig and into the drum module and plugged the aux cable to the iRig then to the drum module. Turned my camera on and pressed record. After I tested it out, I watched the recording and it worked. I couldn't be any happier because I found a way to make my drum covers better. I already recorded a drum cover with the device today as well. That being said, I want to thank you for introducing me into this idea. If it wasn't for you and this video, I wouldn't have known about iRig. So thank you again.
Chester's Channel hello sir, do you know how to hear the drum sound while recording? I’m confused because the output is plugged with the guitar cable that connects to the iRig, thanks in advance
I'm just now starting my drum journey and I know you posted this five or so years ago, but this is still super helpful. You did a great job of explaining, but also the encouragement I really appreciate! You definitely broke things down and calmed the intimidation factor on my end, for sure. Thank you so much for this!
I have just bought a yamaha dtx522k and have played for 4 hours straight!!!! So happy, very nice quality drum kit and really like the features. WORTH IT! I only have to buy a good amplifie when i want to play with friends. I really wanted to thank you because I did a LOT of reaserch before buying an electronic drum set and i mostly got info from your videos, you really helped me a lot.
A tip for making sync easier: play some audio out from your module so your camera mic picks it up, then you have an audio reference for syncronising audio from the module direct feed and camera.
If you record the midi and use the monitors instead of headphones the camera mic willl pick it up and you will have to sources to play with. Some people have a reamp that outputs to an ampliier which is mic'ed up to the interface. All kinds of ways you can do it.
BLESSSSS YOU! i’ve been trying to figure out how to record drums using my irig 2 and this was perfect. every other video i’ve watched doesn’t mention any methods using the irig
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! The time you put into making this is very much appreciated!!!!!! YOUR AWESOME!!!!😱👍😁😎😆 You my friend have earned a new SUBSCRIBER!!!!!
Another great video. Surprised you never mentioned any of the Zoom products. Great studio audio with HD video - all in one. Absolutely one of the best products for the money. The H2Q is amazing and simple to use. Thanks Justin.
Mark Blake I was thinking the same thing bro. I have a Q8 and I love it. Maybe he just didn't have much personal experience with Zoom equipment?? Just throwing a guess out there.
As usual @65drums makes the most informative videos answering all the basic questions in one go! Keep it up Justin! Still not sure how to sinc multiple cameras into one LIVE STREAM, I guess the only way is to use the Roland mixer to get the audio, but still that only covers one camera from my iPhone.
Justin this is GREAT video! It is packed with information that will save us time and aggravation. The only thing you did not mentioned is how you position your camera for the correct angle and what kind of stand or tripod setting you use.
I always set up about 3 cameras when I’m shooting drum covers. I use software called Pluraleyes that syncs all the tracks using the reference audio and master audio. In Final Cut Pro I just delete the reference audio after the sync is completed. That whole process takes less than 5 minutes. I can have a video up on TH-cam a short time after that. It doesn’t take long at all. You offered some good tips. I had not thought about going right into my camera. I have a Sony A7iii and will try that next time.I also just picked up the iRig HD 2 so I can quickly post to social media a good sound coming from the Roland TD 11. The latest craze is folks doing “Duets” on Tik Tok and I want to have a good sound for doing those as well.
Justin, thx! I've watched sooo many dam n videos on recording edrums for not! Literally 10 minutes after watching yours bro, I recorded my 1st test cover video using my DSLR Fujifilm camera. Perfect! I have the Alesis DM10 Pro kit and then Movie Maker on my CPU to edit. Your videos are awesome.... keep making them!
Thank you thank you thank you.!!! I have been researching for days trying to find a more in depth explanation on how to record electronic drums this is great.!!!!!! 😁
Thanks for the info on iRig as a first time easy way digital drum record. Now I'm going with a USB interface. Thanks for the great infor! Made my covers easy to start uploading on FB
Thanks man I used the irig method but I used an aux cord to plug into the module from a different device (Apple doesn’t let you play music and record) and it recorded everything already synced and it sounds great
I have a roland td-17kvx and I bought irig2 for my android phone to record video and audio, I couldn't record the sound in the video but I downloaded the cinemafv you said and it works perfect.. Thank you
Just FYI: You can use an interface (like the Focusrite Scarlet you were showing) with iOS devices, as well. You just need the appropriate USB Camera Connection kit (lightning or 30-pin), and a powered USB hub. Plug interface into the powered USB hub, connect the "output" of the hub into the camera connection kit, plug that into the iOS device.
Thanks for the video. It was something I was wondering about. The Rockband idea is really good to know. One other benefit of those tracks are most of them are master tracks, so you’re actually playing along with musicians you may be a big fan of. Awesome sauce! I’m still stuck using a TD-3 for the time being, so you won’t be seeing any cover songs from me anytime soon. 8) You keep making videos and I’ll keep watching. Thanks again.
Great video! Very good information here. Was using step 2 for a while and now playing with multiple cameras and drumming software. Would have loved to have seen this video 9 months ago when I started lol. thanks for sharing this valuable info!
Great video Justin. I use a TD12,midi to usb interface straight into my iMac triggering SD3 on an A2E converted Mapex Mars. Videos I use the GoPro hero 4 and combine it all in iMovie. iMovie is really easy to sync audio and video. Love the channel and all the info you put out there.
Hi Justin, Some days I'm so lazy to typing anything, like today! BUT your practical video made me have to write it: THANK YOU so much Please Keep go on...
Unfortunately I could not get my E-Drum (Roland HD1) recorded today. I have a Samsung S7. My camera cannot record the drum. Backing track comes from PC. May you can helpf me with this? The aim is shooting simple TH-cam video from my drumming. Thanx in advance. :)
thanks justin. it was a very informative one. i personally benefited a lot. i always watch your videos and every-time they provide me solid info. keep up the good work.cheers.
Justin, Awesome video! I'm finding your channel full of very useful information, this being one of them and perfect for what I am trying to do. You've already answered many of the question I have as a new electronic drum player. Keep up the great work! Very happy subscriber here.
Also, the Zoom Q8 camera is _incredible_ for this kind of thing -- 2 XLR inputs with preamps, and you can actually expand it to 4 XLR inputs with a separate input cartridge (EXH-6). The camera quality definitely isn't SLR, but it's GoPro quality for sure, but with MUCH better sound.
I know it is cause of you that I found out about asio4all this helps!! But all the programs I use like I have said many times are all freeware and I use a midi to usb interface!! As always great information!!
Thank you, man. I’m struggling with recording because my Roland td11 cause the driver don’t work great with Windows 10. Already have an I-rig but don’t knew that works. I definitely will go with this. I was also looking for some trs-trrs p2 cable. Anyway, thank you again, amazing video and very rich of information. You gained a subscriber.
The clip where you had the video editing program up and you synced your talking inside the editing program was freaking awesome. I'm like wait what! Hey Justin all trapped inside the video editor! Get outa there!
Great, informative video Justin. Might I add one note: Invest in some lights. They don't have to be expensive. Some budget, Chinese-made LED lights or soft boxes with stands. It'll make any video - cell phone or DSLR - much, much better. Most of us are making drum covers in a bedroom where lighting is pretty poor. Some strategically placed lights make all the difference
Thanks for a very informative video! I'm going to go with an Irig for now, as I now know my DTX 502 doesn't support USB audio. An audio interface isn't a bad idea to consider
I made 2 drum covers back in 2010 of me playing 2 Chris Tomlin songs live at church with a cheap $20 Jaz camera from Big Lots and it's condenser mic. It was all in synch with no latency, and I got some nice responses and then I suddenly got 2 red flags from youtube, so I wrote them an email asking why and what can I do to fix it, but before I got a response I was banned! I see face book and IM postings of music (drums, guitar, etc.) covers with no crediting the artist, but youtube requires it. Why the difference? I want to make more but have always been apprehensive that it might happen again! Thanks Justin for all you do for us e-drummers!
Hey Justin :-). Just wanted to say that your clips really help me, so thanks heaps. Im a re-incarnated drummer after a 20 year break. ive bought a Kat KT2, expanded of course :-). Im really struggling with all the techy stuff but your vids really help. i used to play only acoustic and half the time not even mics etc lol. the likes of you and blokes like Mike Luke, Little Drummer etc really keep me enthused in a world of tech that would otherwise demorilise me. ill need to watch this video a few times i think as im not quite computing it in my brain real well. I have got a new 2017 MacBook Air. i have ezdrummer 2. I have Gopro. Any suggestions on getting started with my drum covers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers from down under.
I'm watching this for the second time and you are covering the audio (drums) and the video but leaving out the second audio (the drumless track I'm playing with) and how it mixes into the recording. I'm sorry if that's a dumb question but it certainly is left out of this guide.
how do you record the td1k into your computer? i am really thinking of upgrading to a kit with midi included, but i have no idea how to record this kit! I only have a usb type B output! I also don't have an iphone, so no i-rig! 😕
Again loving this channel ! Anyway, Android users - like me (couldn't afford an IPhone) well i tried the iRig on 5 of those different android phones (my mom's, my dad's, my sis's, ......well u get the idea). ....and it didn't work at all. Ya so, i downloaded a 3rd party application like Cinema FV-5 (which doesn't have a flip-to-front cam but has a volume monitoring before recording function) and so i downloaded another 3rd party application call Camera MX (which have a flip-to-front cam but doesn't have a volume monitor before recording function)...well, u win some, u loose some right? but works well with me for having both apps at the same time running it with Androids :) Do set the mic to "external mic" for both apps.
Really digging the part (and recently just experienced it) about going for less camera angles. I suspect with GoPros it's possible to just have to press 1 button from the laptop and activate all the different cameras while also having all the angles showing up on screen in real time. Trial and errors with camera angles, having to walk back to all cams, making sure there's enough space remaining and that they are armed is so energy/focus consuming. I'm always like : I hope I get it this time cuz I don't wanna have to redo the recording process ON TOP of recording a live performance which is already taxing.
Nice overview & great idea to cover. This will help a lot of people. Two notes though. 1. When you mention Laptops, you should talk about different ways, because with MacBooks you don’t need ASIO and you don’t have latency issues. 2. I don’t think you should recommend anything that limits creativity. TH-cam is not always about just uploading a lot of stuff. As a musician, it’s about expressing yourself. You don’t go to your rehearsal room, play one song and then go home again either, do you? ;)
When covering so many things I knew I wouldn’t get every single tip in the video so thank you for bringing that up. As for your second point, before I said focus on less camera angles I stated it was a personal opinion. A complete beginner really shouldn’t attempt using 5 GoPros, while learning Adobe Pre, and figuring out cool lighting all on the first video. It’s overwhelming and most likely, there are many half finished drum covers sitting on countless drummers’ hard drives because of that. I was suggesting beginning simple.
I'm running a TD-11 module into a MacBook Pro 2009 (El Capitán) running Superior Drummer 3. I couldn't run a decent buffer without suffering latency issues. I ended up patching through a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 interface. This bypassed the onboard Apple soundboard and solved my problem. So, depending on your setup, it is possible to have latency issues with a Mac. Just FYI. Yes, upgrading to a new MacBook Pro would probably solve this but I can't budget that at the moment.
Reiner Rosin Good question. That was the first thing I tried and had issues also. I didn't have these problems with Superior Drummer 2. I think that SD3 is more intensive, requiring a better processor and sound board than my current MacBook Pro and TD-11 has.
This is great for getting started but where can I find more info about the actual technical side of recording with a DAW like adding the drumless track and syncing the video?
Great video! I was just wondering how you know you're in time with the song if you're not listening to it while playing? And how do you know what part of the song you're drumming to if you're not listening to it? I'm hoping to get in to it but unsure about that
Hi Justin ! Thanks so much for this video. It is exactly what I was looking for. I do have a few questions: if I understand correctly, with the rig, you get to plug to e-drum directly to your iphone and record video-and-drums simultaneously. I was wondering if you could listen to a track while recording drums ? It seems to me that this method does not allow it. I COULD be using the 3rd method instead (I have a camera, a macbook, just downloaded audacity which I didn't know was free, thanks again to you)… but I guess it WILL take forever to edit a video that way though… My brain is melting… Help ? I'd love to settle for the easiest low-maintenance plug-and-play recording for fun drum covers. Using my iPhone for it would be great. I hope you'll get a chance to answer when you have the time ! X
So I gotta ask.. are there any repercussions to posting a “cover”? Like copyright infringement or anything? I’ve always wondered. Like to start making a few. This video is totally awesome man. Super informative and well done.
You make more eye contact with me than any of my friends. 😭😂 Thank you for the video. 🤙🏽
relatable 🥲
That is so funny! OMG!
😂😂😂
hahahahah, thanks for random smile mate \m/
Very sweet man- paul mazursky, down n out in bev hills
Clapping 3 times after pressing the REC button will help syncing Audio and Video - Easy to identify in Video and shows 3 peaks in the Audio track.
I usually hit the snare 3 times as need synching with my e-drum tracks, but thats great for acoustic stuff
Count the time with your stick.

Dude, I am starting my drum covers journey with my e-kit, this was amazing! Thanks a bunch!
I know this is an old video, but I just started drums lessons and this video was super useful. Thank you! :)
BLESSSSS YOU! i’ve been trying to figure out how to record drums using my irig 2 and this was perfect. every other video i’ve watched doesn’t mention any methods using the irig
did you buy the "IK Multimedia iRig 2 Guitar Interface Adaptor for iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad" off of amazon? Just curious as I am gonna buy it
@@chancben i actually bought mine from guitar center. they offer a warranty so whenever the wires get busted they replace them with a new irig
It took me 6 years to find exactly the way I wanted to approach this e-drums recording lol Huge thanks man.
No bs, no promotions, just succinct and concise info peppered in with personal experience. Great video.
The most valuable TH-cam video I've watched. Very well made and to the point. Thank you!
Just got my first Electronic drum kit and you explained everything I needed to know perfectly. Thank you so much!
When you purposefully desynced the audio and video that drove me crazy! Very meta, Justin
I know this was from 5 years ago at this point, but this was the perfect video to get me started. You rock! Thank you past you! Oh, also subscribed!

Anyway, Android users - like me (couldn't afford an IPhone) well i tried the iRig on 5 of those different android phones (my mom's, my dad's, my sis's, ......well u get the idea). ....and it didn't work at all. Ya so, i downloaded a 3rd party application like Cinema FV-5 (which doesn't have a flip-to-front cam but has a volume monitoring before recording function) and so i downloaded another 3rd party application call Camera MX (which have a flip-to-front cam but doesn't have a volume monitor before recording function)...well, u win some, u loose some right? but works well with me for having both apps at the same time running it with Androids :) Do set the mic to "external mic" for both apps.
Bro just thanks ,i watch million videos but only this video helps me the best🫶🏻
thank you so much I really need this 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Great job! I really enjoyed this!
This is just fantastic thank you.
Really digging the part (and recently just experienced it) about going for less camera angles.
I suspect with GoPros it's possible to just have to press 1 button from the laptop and activate all the different cameras while also having all the angles showing up on screen in real time.
Trial and errors with camera angles, having to walk back to all cams, making sure there's enough space remaining and that they are armed is so energy/focus consuming.
I'm always like : I hope I get it this time cuz I don't wanna have to redo the recording process ON TOP of recording a live performance which is already taxing.
Thank You so much! now I can make my own drum cover using irig..
Nice overview & great idea to cover. This will help a lot of people.
Two notes though.
1. When you mention Laptops, you should talk about different ways, because with MacBooks you don’t need ASIO and you don’t have latency issues.
2. I don’t think you should recommend anything that limits creativity. TH-cam is not always about just uploading a lot of stuff. As a musician, it’s about expressing yourself. You don’t go to your rehearsal room, play one song and then go home again either, do you? ;)
When covering so many things I knew I wouldn’t get every single tip in the video so thank you for bringing that up.
As for your second point, before I said focus on less camera angles I stated it was a personal opinion. A complete beginner really shouldn’t attempt using 5 GoPros, while learning Adobe Pre, and figuring out cool lighting all on the first video. It’s overwhelming and most likely, there are many half finished drum covers sitting on countless drummers’ hard drives because of that. I was suggesting beginning simple.
65 Drums Agreed! 👍🏻
I'm running a TD-11 module into a MacBook Pro 2009 (El Capitán) running Superior Drummer 3. I couldn't run a decent buffer without suffering latency issues. I ended up patching through a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 interface. This bypassed the onboard Apple soundboard and solved my problem. So, depending on your setup, it is possible to have latency issues with a Mac. Just FYI. Yes, upgrading to a new MacBook Pro would probably solve this but I can't budget that at the moment.
Why you don't use your TD-11 as an audio device?
ANTWORTEN
Reiner Rosin Good question. That was the first thing I tried and had issues also. I didn't have these problems with Superior Drummer 2. I think that SD3 is more intensive, requiring a better processor and sound board than my current MacBook Pro and TD-11 has.
This is great for getting started but where can I find more info about the actual technical side of recording with a DAW like adding the drumless track and syncing the video?
Could you also do a video on how to livestream drum covers?
Great video! I was just wondering how you know you're in time with the song if you're not listening to it while playing? And how do you know what part of the song you're drumming to if you're not listening to it? I'm hoping to get in to it but unsure about that
Metronomes and memory can be helpfull.
Thanks for this man appreciate u very much my guy🤙
Hi Justin ! Thanks so much for this video. It is exactly what I was looking for. I do have a few questions: if I understand correctly, with the rig, you get to plug to e-drum directly to your iphone and record video-and-drums simultaneously. I was wondering if you could listen to a track while recording drums ? It seems to me that this method does not allow it. I COULD be using the 3rd method instead (I have a camera, a macbook, just downloaded audacity which I didn't know was free, thanks again to you)… but I guess it WILL take forever to edit a video that way though… My brain is melting… Help ? I'd love to settle for the easiest low-maintenance plug-and-play recording for fun drum covers. Using my iPhone for it would be great. I hope you'll get a chance to answer when you have the time ! X
So I gotta ask.. are there any repercussions to posting a “cover”? Like copyright infringement or anything? I’ve always wondered. Like to start making a few. This video is totally awesome man. Super informative and well done.
