Bloodbath Drums

[Flal]

Hey Dan, what kind of drums did you use on Resurrection through Carnage? What cymbals? Was it all acoustic or was there any electronics? What snare did you use? (lol, sorry for all the questions but i've never heard drums like that ever before )

 

[Dan Swanö]

The drums I used was Premier signia and lots of EQ!!! The kickdrums are triggered but the rest is acoustic.

 

[Flal]

Did you pitch shift the snare lower? I've never heard a snare like that

 

[Evil Audio]

Yes, they sound really great! I'll shoot a few more questions out...

What mics and preamps did you use? What trigger module, or did you use CPU samples? Did you rely much on room sounds, or is it mostly direct mic'ing? What kind of board? Anything cool (as in old analog), or was it all-digital? Tape machine? If so, which one?

Thanx!!

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

Wow... a lot of questions!!!!

I though that the RTC drums was all-digital!!!!

 

[Flal]

I knew they weren't all digitalbut that's the thing with RTC.....i like the way it's produced...like, they put the most awful grimmy sounding guitar with a fucked up low kit and it sounded awsome..... It's my fav album of all time, i think it shows the work of true genious and only people with the experience of Dan Mike Blakkheim and Jonas could pull it off as well as they did.

 

[Evil Audio]

I fukkin LOVE that guitar tone!! Total early DM sound!

 

[Flal]

Hey Dan, the guys in the bloodbath forum and I are wondering if you did all of the double bas on RTC or if you sequenced it? Or a bit of both?

ARE YOU QUESTIONING OUR MASTER!? INFIDEL!

 

[Flal]

ARE YOU QUESTIONING OUR MASTER!? INFIDEL!

Yes

 

[L0bster]

Blastbeats/Grind and doublebass are sequensed for the most part, Swanö is a great rock/prog drummer but might not be that mint on the extreme shit.

This is what I remember him saying at least, corrections are welcome.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I like the drums a lot,they are not that overproduced,it´s the perfect balance of crisp and clear.
