The ultimate guide to producing 'phat' kick and snare sounds
my free, 4-video mini series will show you exactly how top producers dial in the killer sounds you hear plastered all over the radio.
You might already know how to produce decent, natural sounding, acoustic drums — and that’s a solid skill.
That’s a great place to start.
But if you’ve ever compared your drum tracks to the majority of hits you hear on the radio, you’ve probably noticed… they sound worlds apart.
We’re talking about phat, characterful, processed kick and snare sounds that grab listeners by the ears.
And here’s the kicker (pun intended)…
Almost no one is teaching this stuff
When I set out to create this mini series, I couldn’t believe how little is out there on the art of crafting these kinds of drum sounds – the ones that dominate the charts and streaming platforms.
Sure, there are courses on recording live, natural drums. But that’s been done to death, don’t need anymore of those!
Let me plug that gap in the market rather nicely and share with you the information you do need at this point.
In this series you'll learn:
- How pro producers muffle & dampen the kick and snare for phat, compelling source tones
- Proven mic placements to capture every ounce of vibe & character
- Exactly what to do in the mixing stage to sonically maximise those beautiful recordings
You already know that kick and snare are the heartbeat of your track.
Get them right, and you’re (I truly believe) 70% of the way to a killer mix.
I’ll show you my exact step-by-step approach to nailing them — without years of trial and error.
Who's teaching this?
Hey, I’m Will Jackson — producer, mixer, and musician who’s worked with artists like Freya Ridings, SONY Music, EA Sports, and more — with over 6 million streams on my mixes.
I’ve designed this mini series to save you the frustration, guesswork, and wasted time (a sh*t ton of trial and error) that I went through learning these techniques the long way.
If you’re serious about levelling up your drum sounds and making your mixes stand out, I’d love for you to enroll.

Don't settle for vanilla
There’s a bunch of savvy, upcoming producers out there already applying this stuff.
Don’t let them have all the fun (and success).
Plug the gaps in your knowledge and level the playing field.
Knowledge is power, as cheesy as that sounds.
