Do you other indie guys have the capability to get those sounds if you wanted to? |

aside from that. i'd agree with soundreplacer and beat detective. i think a lot of them are porbably using the sounds they got from that given kit to replace that kit |

The key is still to get killer sounds from a killer source. If the drum sounds bad to begin with and you sample it and then replace the original with that sound, it's still going to sound bad. |

their older work is representative of their skill set and mind set at that time. |

i don't think sound replacer existed when trombino did clarity. i think that's recording a good solid hitting drummer in a great sounding room using a lot of compression |

Can you say Forat? Can you say triggers? One of my first rock gigs was printing kik and snr samples by triggering off the 2" tracking the samples to a locked adat and flying them back to the 2" onto other tracks after offsetting the adat. Yep a royal PITA. The Forat was a cool piece too, for the time. I think Forats are still getting used on hit records, especially in the UK. |

i think 'takeout' is pretty dead on, but i'll add 'lots of subtractive EQ' to that equation. i think if you can't take that sound seriously in the first place, it's gonna be impossible to get those results. i'll drop by my friends' studio occasionally, and they go for that ryan greene/fat wreck chords drum sound most of the time, and hearing those things solo'd makes me laugh every time (and it doesn't sound too much better in context for that matter). i can't imagine actually trying to get a sound like that myself; it's like saying to yourself one day "i think i'm gonna go for that 'Pyromania' sound! yeah!" |

Yea. Forat is some cool old school shit. That sounds like a nasty job, Fibes. You could also take the drum hits off the sync head, and use a delay before going into the trigger unit. You could then tweak the delay time to line the hits up right. If you didn't have a million DDLs lying around, then you had to bounce the samples back to tape anyway... |

I bet that sounded really funny, but I also think that sound is COMPLETELY necessary for a lot of music that came out on that label during the mid to late 90's. The clicky kick drum just MADE all of those No Use, Lagwagon, Good Riddance, and NOFX records... All of that stuff meant a lot to me back then, so I guess it just has some sentimental value... |

I will henceforth go on record: any drummer caught in possession of a piccolo snare should be shot on sight. |
