A Conversation with Jim Hamilton of Rittenhouse Soundworks

Send us a text


Jim Hamilton is an interesting guy. His career includes drums and
percussion, often with well-known artists.


But also Jim is a tap dancer who performs around the world. And
he owns Rittenhouse Soundworks, an amazing recording studio in
Philadelphia. He has also been a life-long student of music and
recording.


Our conversation covers the relationship of tap dancing to modern
drumming, the evolution of the snare drum. We explore how
technology affects the recording process and the interface
between the performer and the listener. We talk about the
high-resolution audio as it is recorded verses the relatively
low-fidelity music that most listeners experience.
