sudder to think, pony express record (which is brilliant sounding) was recorded the same way. the drums on that record sound very natural and nice. i argued for about 30 minutes when i was told the cymbals were overdubbed |

What I would rather know is how the drum tracks for De-loused in the Comatorium got to sound so damn good. |

... and most importantly incredible playing by one of the greatest, most hardest hitting rock drummers out there. |

Just to clarify a couple of things... Matt |

5. Songs for the Deaf is a kickass record, and you can attribute the drums sounds to great tuning, great mic'ing, and most importantly incredible playing by one of the greatest, most hardest hitting rock drummers out there. |

So I was reading the new Modern Drummer magazine that features Dave Grohl on the cover. In it they were discussing the recording process of the new Queens of the Stone Age record, Songs for the Deaf. Dave goes into length about how they recorded drums live without a click track, and without using any cymbals. He says that he used pads that reflected cymbal sounds in his headphones, and then later went in and overdubbed the cymbals. So, is this normal recording practice? It seems to me that if you're going to be rock and not use a click, you better at least hit some fucking cymbals. Right!?! No wonder the drums sound really up front.. no room at all. I am curious as to what you fellow indie rockers think of this practice. Oh and QOTSA may not be 100% indie rock, but this record really has that indie flavor despite its commercial success. |

And it wouldn't be the first time Grohl has overdubbed cymbals... go listen to the HiHat on"Everlong" off "The Color and the Shape" FF record. |
