Favourite drum tones?

[Morgan C]

We've had a bunch of 'fav guitar tones' threads, since most of you guys are guitarists.. but how bout some love for the backbone of the band (after extensive editing of course )

Post only ONE album, and try to post a YouTube clip or something.

Best drum tone ever (and almost all natural):


Name me another tone that can go from that insanely calm break at 2;35 and also do a fairly fast, wicked sick riff at the start.. add in the fact that the kick is TOTALLY natural and the vibe is just intense.

See with HQ for better sound. Ok this is not a natural drum sound but it´s fucking amazing. The band and the song are also awesome.

Randy is the master of extreme rock/metal drum sounds. He practically defined what we all shoot for with the Black album.

This.

Dismiss the Cynics is a cool song and I like that album, but the drums on it rub me the wrong way.

A bit OT but I seem to be the only one in the world not liking that guitar tone. I prefer NMF, so crunchy, so brutal.

Drums are great though.

Not a band I really listen all the day but drum tone on this song is just like a dream tone for me...

Textures-Drawing Circles album -Surreal State of Enlightenment

Ahh, that classic nu-metal drum sound.

Kinda similar to this ain't it:



You know it's funny. A while ago this kind of stuff used to disgust me, but in light of the Attack Attacks, Brockencydes and Bring Me the Horizons of the world I can lump Limp Bizkit in the same basket as kvlt Norwegian forest berry metal.

I think the Unblessing The Purity production sounds way better than TFM

 

[Lasse Lammert]

King's X - Dogman
Metallica - Black Album
Devildriver - tlkw
Testament - formation

I can see why they get thrown into that nu metal category but they were so much better than them other bands like korn and limp bizkit.

but yeah, Maybe from "growing up" around that era (I was around 13 or 14 when those albums came out) kinda shapes your preferance for different instruments. I perfer my drums pretty dry where the room is more perceived than up front and in your face. short cracky snares tuned pretty high. Clicky kicks, etc.
