Yeah and that sounds like a poor demo tape.
To OP: i don't think there are many album done after the 80's that don't have any samples on them. Metallica - Black album, Nirvana - nevermind.. The list goes on. But ppl feel free to post em if you got an example that sounds awesome and have the punch that we are used too with sample augmented albums.
That album that Mike Portnoy did with Avenged Sevenfold at least sound like it is real drums, don't know for sure though

Or like a band playing together. What's wrong with the sound? It's sad that we're so used to samples and edited performances.

I don't mind that, I like the idea of bands playing together. And i use less and less editing because i too are tired of that super edited sound but... But you still want to maintain a professional sound and you still want that snare to pop nice not sound like a thin stick and you still want your mix to have a nice punch.
My personal favorite are the Load/Reload albums, they have samples on them but it still sounds like a band and the drums sound natural, then i don't care if you blended in some samples. AS long long as it sounds good, but i totally get that ppl are tired of the whole "my snare sounds like its been hit by a dead fish and i like it" kind'a sound.

Iron Maiden stuff is all done without sample replacement. Brave New World has a pretty huge drum sound, and I'm a fan of the drums on The Final Frontier too.

But can't you do this without using samples? With a nice drum kit, tuned nicely, new heads, great drummer, right mics and placement etc... Maybe It will be more time consuming but......
God I love your mixes though!
+1 always wondere how they get nicko's kick sound. it's quite unique.
+1 load/reload

Thanks man!!!
Well it's that i don't think it possible
As i said all the classic albums which ppl think are all real, aren't. And if fukkin Bob Rock and Randy Staub can't do it with the biggest budgets and the best gear/rooms how the hell should we be able to do it Just sayi'n

always love Uli Kusch's drum sounds from the 1st Helloween and Gamma Ray albums he did. Pretty sure they're all natural

that defeated Sanity album sounds ridiculously good, what the hell is wrong with some people hahahaha I'm surprised the kick isn't sampled.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Kick may have been blended with their own sample, but I have a feeling it's au natrelle based on Lille's stance toward sampling.
And the fact that he's an inhuman player.

Check out the newest Converge album and pretty much anything Kurt Ballou records. He's said that the Converge album is 100% natural drums and the rest of his recordings tend to sound that way too.

The music is legitimately hilarious, but I think the mix is pretty awesome for the style tbh!

Remo Fiberskin kick head and the best right foot in the music industry! I think Kevin normally just uses a D112 for recording Maiden.

This came in 89. I doubt they used sample replacement back then. The drum sounds fucking great. Well, all sounds quite great.
