What the fuck is this thing under Raymond Herrera's snare?

[Mattayus]

When the camera angle changes at 1:23 you can see something between his feet.



Is it a fan or is it some new fandangled gizmo for sound reflection or dampening or something? Does it make him play faster and is it what caused him to be eaten by Gene Hoglan?

Looks like a fan

Yup. He he had to get a new one, now that Gene Hoglan has all of his old fans.

Zzzzzzzzzzzziiiiingggg...

What a powerhouse!

Lasse should adopt a new law here: everyone that posts balls should be banned forever

 

[Lasse Lammert]

damn, is he BEATING THE SHIT out of that kit, lol

 

[guitarguru777]

re-watching that video, im like WTF, how does this guy get through an entire set flailing his arms like that and OVER playing everything. You would think a guy like this would uses as little movements as possible. He must have to change heads after every measure in the studio.

EDIT: Dammit Lasse did it to me again!

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Oh well now we know where Arkea got that snare sound!! :zombie:

 

[Mattayus]

I used to think Herrera was full of shit back in the day, but he's really won my respect in recent years as a musician.
Also, hammering the living fuck out of the kit = my drummer. He's an absolute machine, really gets into it and pounds the fuck out of it, but not in a knucklehead way, just really gets into it and "feels" it. Love that. I hate faggots who tickle the kit

 

[SentencedToBurn]

why would you have a fan right there is you are recording???
ah who am i kidding.... he probably replaces everything anyhow.

 

[Mattayus]

Yeah, kicks are triggered, snare was largely replaced on that album too i believe

 

[guitarguru777]

FF's drums have been replaced on every CD ever. People still claim half of the first CD was a drum machine.

He's good. Gene Hoglan is better.
