I'd love to achieve this particular tom sound. Tips?

[Mattayus]

I'd love to get this kind of tom sound. I mean, I produce toms well all the time, never had a dissatisfied customer, but I'm not 100% on how to get this sound in particular, and would love to achieve it for my own band.

It's just so... wet? I guess? And saturated, and deep and slappy.

Here are some examples;

In the intro here you can really hear it



And on the opening fill at around 0:19-0:21 on here

Any suggestions?

Thanks

well, I would start at the source; Vinnie Paul uses some big ass drums, I think this current set is like 14" 15" 18" and 24" kick, but IIRC he used even larger toms back then, like 16" 18" and 20".

Oh how I love the The Great Southern Trendkill drumsound.
Big toms, nice big room, no lowmids.

Any internal mic'ing going on? It kinda has that wet slap about it with little resonance.

I read somewhere that the clicky sound is the sound of a plain drum trigger that's mixed under the tom mic.

Interesting.

Didn't Bergstrand use that technique to?

There are allot of reverb going on there to

Tons of reverb, gated reverb.

i'd start with big toms (as big as possible) resonant heads tuned slightly higher than normal,you may want to dampen them slightly. batter heads a touch past finger tight... big sticks and a big room or healthy dose of reverb... i'd say a touch of eq would be needed to gut the low mids. the trigger blend seems plausible...
