r/drums: Multi-Cam Drum Videos for Reddit Technique and Groove Feedback

This page explains how to record multi-cam drum videos on your phone in SONGTAKE—overhead, kick, snare, or multiple angles—so you can post to r/drums and get real feedback on technique, groove, timing, and feel. Multicam for drummers is huge: Reddit can finally see and hear what you're doing.

This is YOU?

You want to post on r/drums for feedback but one phone angle doesn't show your hands, feet, or kit.
A single room mic makes everything sound like mud—Reddit can't comment on kick vs snare vs cymbals.
Editing multicam in a DAW or NLE takes forever and kills the urge to post.
You need something fast: set phones around the kit, record, sync, export—then get real feedback on groove and technique.
r/drums rewards clear, watchable clips; single static angles get ignored.

Pro Tip: TIP: SONGTAKE lets you record multi-cam drum takes on your phone—overhead, kick, snare side, or room—each on its own synced track with clean audio. Export one clip and post to r/drums with a clear ask (e.g. 'Looking for feedback on my groove / fills / dynamics'). Multicam = instant credibility: Reddit can see and hear what you're doing, so they give useful notes instead of 'sounds muddy.'

At a glance

Multi-cam on phone: overhead, kick, snare/hat, or room—each angle synced
Each phone captures its own audio so kick, snare, and cymbals read clearly
Export one focused clip (30–90 sec) for r/drums—no video editor
Reddit rewards when they can see hands, feet, and hear separation—not one muddy room mic
Frame as 'looking for feedback on [groove / fills / setup]'; get notes, not downvotes

Key Software Features

Multi-Cam Around the Kit
One phone overhead, one near the kick, one on the snare/hat side—or any combo. Each angle stays in sync. No cables, no interface—just phones and SONGTAKE.
Clean Audio Per Source
Each phone captures its own audio. Kick, snare, and cymbals read clearly instead of one muddy room mic. Reddit will forgive raw playing but not inaudible drums—this fixes that.
Visual Clarity for r/drums
Multicam = instant signal that this is a real performance. Reddit can see stick height, foot technique, and setup. Movement between angles keeps people watching. Single static angle gets lost in the feed.
One Export, No Editor
Record, sync, export from your phone. No iMovie or Premiere. Post to r/drums the same day—30–90 seconds, one clear section, no intro talking.
Feedback-Seeking, Not Promo
Frame your post: 'Looking for feedback on my groove / fills / dynamics.' A multicam drum clip reads as drummer asking for help. Reddit gives technique and feel notes instead of treating it like a promo drop.
Auto-Sync
All phones sync automatically. No clapping, no manual alignment—press record and play. Stems and video stay aligned if you want to export multitrack later.
Cloud Backup
All takes backed up automatically. Re-export or share a link anytime. Find the best take to post without losing anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up phones for multicam drum recording for r/drums?

Place one phone overhead (or above the kit), one near the kick, and optionally one on the snare/hat side. Start a multi-track session in SONGTAKE on each device—they sync automatically. Record your take, then export one video and post to r/drums with a clear ask (e.g. groove, fills, dynamics).

Why does multicam get better feedback on r/drums?

Reddit rewards watchability and credibility. A single angle often misses hands, feet, or the full kit; one room mic sounds muddy so people can't comment on kick vs snare. Multicam lets them see and hear what you're doing—so you get useful notes on technique, timing, and feel instead of 'sounds muddy' or silence.

Do I need a video editor or interface?

No. Record and export entirely from your phone in SONGTAKE. No interface, no NLE. Set phones, record, sync, export, post. Keep the clip focused (30–90 sec) and frame your post as feedback-seeking.

Can I export multitrack stems for r/drums too?

Yes. Each phone is a track—you can export stems (kick, overhead, etc.) or a single mixed multicam video. Some Redditors want to hear separation; others want to watch. SONGTAKE supports both.

What makes SONGTAKE different from voice memos?

SONGTAKE records in true stereo with automatic cloud backup, project organization, and multi-track capabilities. Unlike voice memos that create a graveyard of unnamed files, SONGTAKE keeps everything organized, synced across devices, and ready to develop into full productions.

Can I use SONGTAKE with just one phone?

Absolutely! SONGTAKE works perfectly with a single phone for recording arrangements, backing vocals, and layered instruments. While multiple phones give you multi-angle coverage and better isolation, one phone is all you need to create professional multi-track recordings with video overdubbing.

Can I use SONGTAKE for professional music recording?

Yes! SONGTAKE seamlessly transitions from mobile recording to professional desktop production. Start with iPhone for song ideas, then open the same project on Mac with a professional 64-channel interface for mixing and mastering. It's the bridge between inspiration and production.

How does multi-phone recording work?

Place phones near each instrument for dedicated microphones. One tap starts all phones simultaneously, and they automatically sync after recording. No manual alignment needed—just position phones, hit record, and get professional multi-track isolation from devices you already own.
