There are two ways to go about recording audio for drum covers. While many people prefer recording their audio life as they are capturing the video footage, others might prefer an easy way out.  If you are just starting as a cover drummer, you might want to keep things simple in the beginning. That means that you should capture the audio source and video footage separately and sync them in video editing software. This reduces the complexity of mixing and editing the final video as you can fix or re-record any parts where you may have made a mistake. That said, once you get the hang of the whole process, you can start recording the audio while you are capturing the video footage simultaneously. Although a bit more demanding than our previous suggestion, this process can save you a lot of time.
