my question is, why would you want to use a snare like that? It sounds out of tune with a dead head.

duhhh snare is A, tom 1 is G, tom 2 is D, kick is B. You don't wanna know the amount of fuckery that goes along with drop tunings though.

thanks tom, that was something we talked about for this and how we didn't want a traditional black metal lo-fi sound, a little more presence, punch, definition than what would normally be expected. As for the snare it is possible that there was some mistriggers in there, but the majority of the...

Yamaha REX50, I'm an idiot haha

Thanks guys! really glad you enjoyed the track, we worked our ass off on the production haha. In terms of mix, it's pretty standard stuff. The drums are natural with some sample augmentation on the kick and snare, the toms are completely unprocessed, not even a gate. Lots of room mic and reverb...

bumping because I'm desperate. I'll suck yo dick

Interesting, I agree with you on that. More than likely it's being caused by the shitty OH's I had to use on this track with the combination of the garbage cymbals he used. The difference in nice cymbals and b8's really is a determining factor in whether the high end of a song will come out...

But you can get a similar sounding kick to that if you use a really hollow sounding acrylic with no baffling inside of it!

That sounds like straight up slate dude haha

are you talking about field capture or foley work with that?
