Most convincing programmed drums?

[davinofmoirae]

So far, Meshuggah's Catch 33 takes the cake in my opinion. Any other notable contenders?

Seriously?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Was joking.
Apparently Lars' tracks were heavily edited.

Some devin townsend's albums have DFH Superior right?

 

[prostetnic]

Keith Merrow and his drummer bro took the crown with the Demisery album, seriously.

Yeah I'm almost sure Ziltoid is DFH and programmed but I could be wrong, perhaps it was just replaced

 

[davinofmoirae]

Yeah, I think I read something about him bringing in Fredrik Thordendal to help him get a feel for the program on that album.

Symphony X - Iconoclast.

at least I think its SD2. But I guess they recorded it with an Ekit, so I dunno if "programmed" is the right term for it.

I'm checking it out now. Tight stuff! It seems like tracking on an electronic kit is the most accurate way to capture all of a drummers natural tendencies.

I don't know how convincing the drums were as nothing stuck out as "fake" for me, at the time, but this bit from a Type O Negative interview some years back surprised me.

"For the first time since 1993’s Bloody Kisses, Type O Negative utilized live drums in the album’s recording process. On the last three Type O CDs, the drums were actually programmed in the studio "

They were nothing like the Meshuggah gymnastics of course.

- Also Check out Necrophagist's - Onset of Putrefaction

Well. That would explain why the drum sounds (esp. the snare) sound like Roland R-8 drum machine.

Black Album!

Too late.

There was a post somewhere that listed all the albums that had programed drums. It's handy, with that you can listen for yourself.

 

[SentencedToBurn]

all metal drums sound pretty fake (cause thats the style). If you want some real sounding drums id check out sd libraries like "roots" and "custom and vintage"

 

[The StabbinCabin]

Cloud Kicker (aside from clearly being Superior) has done a pretty good job with consistency as far as programming goes...

Thank you! I'll try and look for it. I'd imagine that's a huge list.
