Simon Phillips' snare sound is always amazing. Probably one of the only drummers that hasn't sold his or her soul to the shitty producers these days.
True, but I'd take Dokken snare over the shit we have now any day.Don't forget you also have a lot of shit snares and toms from the 80's as well.... any Dokken snare for example. There were a ton of misses and overly gated sounds back then too unfortunately. But overall it was definitely better
