Earlier this year Richard Christy filmed his drum takes of Admire the Heroes with two cameras at the Hit Factory Criteria in Miami, Florida with engineer Mark Lewis.

Watch the result in the following video:

Richard says he was going for a more organic and spontaneous-sounding performance with the new Charred Walls album album, which he spent a mere two days recording the drums for. Explains the drummer to Modern Drummer magazine:

"The drum sound on 'Cold Winds on Timeless Days' turned out better than I ever could have imagined thanks to engineer Mark Lewis, the amazing drum room at Hit Factory/Criteria, and all of the great equipment that I endorse, including Ddrum drums, Sabian cymbals, Vater sticks, Axis pedals, and Aquarian heads. Rehearsing the full album every day for two months straight definitely helped too. We did three or four takes straight through on the drums for each song, so what you see on these videos isn’t necessarily what we used on the album. You’ll notice that some of the drum fills don’t match up exactly, for instance. But they’ll give you a great idea of how amazing the drum room at Hit Factory is, and how we were able to get a very natural drum sound."
