Absolutely! love that flat, thick and dry sound.

also..
Jeff Buckley's Grace..clean, spritely and big sounding.

most Sugar and Fugazi stuff for that direct powerful sound.

M83...I reckon they used v-drums but the sound worked for the music, even if the cymbals sounded horrible.

Wasn't the Race For The Prize drum track (Flaming Lips, opening to The Soft Bulletin) just a recording bounced onto a dat and then played back and re-recorded? This may be completely untrue, I heard it from a man down the pub.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

I've read somewhere that the Lips distorty drum sound is got by running the drums through a DAT and clipping the input.

I LOVE the snare sound on: Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place

Anything By James Gadson
Anything By Clive Stubblefield

The Binson echo has alot to do with the drum sound on "When the Levee Breaks". The Drum Sound is huge because the micing technique mentioned by redtape above. Adding a quarter note echo adds a weird predelay to the pattern that makes it sound cavernous.

Check out James Gadson with Bill Withers from the Old Grey Whistle Test on youtube.
The BBC were the masters at broadcast studio recording.

incorrect. the sound of loadsa the whistle test is really badly mixed. sometimes its all bass or no bass.

Ah, jaysus, yeah.

One band whose drum sound I used to love would be The Cardigans. There's a crispness to the drums in Carnival and stuff like that that sounds great. I wish I knew more about such things technically because it's a lovely sound.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I read somewhere that the drum sound on Pod by the Breeders is the best drum sound in existence.

But the source may have been the drummer in the band.
I know nothing about drum sounds.

It is pretty great.

Billy Cobham--Stratus (Lifted for Massive Attack's "Safe from Harm")

Great album all round and one of the best 'drumming' albums ever. I think he used a fibes perpex kit which explains the lively and bouncy sound of the toms.

I read the first two albums were just three mics, one on the kick, one on the snare and a mono overhead, mono drums basically. Lots to do with the old kit and yr mans playing being right on the 60's pop beat money...

I was pretty bummed when they started doing the metronomic pro tooled drum sounds on Erase and Rewind, I think what they gained in chart placings they lost in being an interesting band

United, Phoenix - I absolutety love that drum sound. Like it was recorded in a room stuffed with cotton balls.


It is ok to say Homework by Daft Punk - I fucking love that 909 kick and hi-hats sound. Only just got a set of 909 samples and been messing around with them the last couple of days. Love it.

V-drums or samples I'd say.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Is it anything like the drum sound on Phoenix "Alphabetical"?

 

[Stereobaby]

God is an Astronaut - All is Violent, all is Bright

Amazing drum sound.

Anyone know if it is V-drums?
