Always hated the snare on the song black and blue / kenny wayne sheppard. Sound like hitting a 150 gal oil barrel.
this snare sounds pretty great to me listening now

FUCK KWS.. Talk about a spinoff act..Always hated the snare on the song black and blue / kenny wayne sheppard. Sound like hitting a 150 gal oil barrel.
Chad Sexton from 311 always had that snare "pop"...but it works for them. I wonder how it would sound in a metal mix?sampled drums are nothing new, most all the big producers were using some kind of samples going back to the 80s, that "snare wire" sound you talk about was probably white noise with reverb added over. i dont think its old school snares not cutting, in fact i think its the opposite, the 90s old school high tuned piccolo thing everyone was doing would pop out too much in a modern downtuned brickwalled mix and not sit right.
Me too. It certainly gives that album an abrasive vibe. Sometimes that's what I want to hear.Actually, I am one of the few that like the St. Anger snare.
are you still using a 1040st and a sampler?@RevDrucifer it's all about velocities for me too... and shifting hits around by a few ticks.
Since the late '80s in Cubase / Edit Track on the Atari I've obsessed over these tweaks. Every hit gets scrutinised for velocity and timing. Even shitty drum-machine sounds can be made to create the impression of a live drummer, as you'd know.
One thing I learned early-on is to imagine myself on the drummer's stool, bangin' away. That helped prevent me from making simultaneous hits on different kit components that IRL wouldn't happen. High hats with snare rolls or cymbals spring immediately to mind...
It makes me think Fenriz and others in black metal were ahead of the curve, going back to 70s style drum sounds.

Vargs weird ass drumming actually made his early stuff have its own vibe."Stop using drum samples"
I don't know anything about recording or engineering etc... but I like the sound of thatbut if you start with a raw sample and are in charge of shaping it as you want (or shaping it LESS), we'd breathe more life back into things again.
