There's a Difference Between Programmed Drums
and a Kit Played in an Actual Room.

At Fire Wave Sound in Richmond Hill, we record live drums in a dedicated tracking space designed to give the kit room to breathe. It's not about hype — it's about capturing a solid performance with proper mic placement, good gain staging, and attention to detail.

Whether you're tracking rock, country, indie, or something stripped back, we focus on getting a strong sound at the source so the mix doesn't have to fix what should've been right from the start.

We use reliable studio-grade microphones and clean signal paths, but more importantly, we take the time to position the kit and dial in tones before hitting record.

If live drums are part of your sound, we'll capture them the way they're meant to be played.

Need full production? Our Savannah recording studio handles everything from tracking to mixing and mastering.
