Snare drum

[barbvboom]

Hi ,
Actually I got a question about Pat McGrath.
i wanted to know what snare drum he used in the album Catalyst.
Does anyone know? cause I'm a drummer and that sound is very cool.

Anyone?

Well, the only one from Prototype lurking here is Krogan. But seeing that the last time he was online is 7th April... May be he went on vacation or something =)

Sorry for not getting a reply here to you sooner!

I'll have to check with Pat since he's used several different snares over the years, but I think this one may have been a Spaun snare. I'll ask him and let you know!

Sorry guys... I have been on tour with Exodus for a most of the last 4 months and didn't get to check the Proto board.

I'm pretty sure that Pat used a Spaun brass snare drum on Catalyst but I'm not sure of the exact model or size. There may be more info available on Pat's drum kit here:

Keep in mind though that the snare tone that you hear on Catalyst is actually a mix between his natural snare tone/sound and a sample that Neil Kernon laid on top for each hit. The two together is what creates the snare sound on the album mix. Hope that helps!

Cheers,
