AFAIK he also uses snare-gate expansion on room mics to give you that wash of midrange. There are also some 'tricks' he does with distorting ambient mics to add midrange character to the kit. Again, AFAIK, not confirmed.
Buy Metalheads EZX? It comes with one of his snare samples and sounds pretty similar to STD
Except Koloss, what have been the latest albums he worked on ? I kind of lost the track of his recent works.
I like the song and the mix! The guitar tone is killer indeed, what gear did you use for the guitar Phil? The gain seems pretty low, I love the grit!
Bass was actually straight into my dual recto through my mesa cab with the same mic setup.
All dual tracked as well.
You double track the bass?
Stabbing the Drama is still a shining example of low end in a metal mix. If I could figure out that trick I think I'd die happy.
