Love the reverb also.


Love the snare at the drop..... And pretty much all the drums in this song as well.

My favourite snare was made by opening a Word document in Audacity and messing around with the audio signal that came out.

I just get bored easily.

clap

I have a version of bay b kane gimme good sensi where the amen snare rings like no other. Doesn't sound like the one on youtube.

0:14

also that CV and Noisia stuff.
One that just shot into my head just now was

Haha think I remember that. Some real gems were posted on doa back in the day too, some people nearly owe their careers to some packs/breaks people made & posted over the years lol (rs_clangy.wav!). Not sure about now, but CV and the others also used to use loops recorded by Donny on his real drumkit. He sent me a bunch of him playing drums, and even recreating the Amen on his metallic drumkit. Or maybe they were also in that pack, idk been years.

That CV snares pack is hits taken/layered from various places btw, many will be familiar.

Personally I love rimshots, and the TR-707 snare & clap. They usually find their way into whatever I'm working on.

one more for current value. definitely wish I could figure out what the fuck he does with compressors

Distance/tunnidge snare in BLAME...also razor rekta-development. I know distance uses live drums a lot, but how those chestplate guys get their snares so huge, crisp, and up front is beyond me.

cant believe this snare hasnt been mentioned. this is my favourite pretty much

I really like the snare sound in this:
Soundcloud
This track remains one of my all-time favorites. Hudson, you're a beast.

alas most of those goodies are on an old laptop drive that i don't think i'll ever get working again

+1 on those natural snares distance uses

Wow, that snare sounds like a dying cough to me. Really neat sound and it fits well in the song.
Been working on some skullstep beatz and I'm gonna necro the drums thread

Hudson is soo good. That snare fits so well into the song, it's ridiculous.

Thanks guys! I'm not gonna give away all my secrets but I will say that the snare fits so well cuause the whole tune was built around it haha The original sample (cut from a tv show) sounds a bit different, but the second I heard it I was like "That is going to be in a song", so it was the very first thing I dropped into the project. I have a feeling many people on here have heard the original sample many times before and would recognize it pretty quickly if they heard it in the show.
My favorite snare is in this song:

Beyond the fact that it's a great, tight snare, around the 8 minute mark there's a little break, then the song climaxes, but the drummer is just playing the crash and the kick during the first bit so it's super tense (doesn't feel complete yet, despite it being the loudest part of the song). When he finally hits the snare though it's like a machine gun shooting me in teh heart. It's such an important part of this song/album.

That snare

Love the whole song, but the snare/rim the song opens on is gorgeous.

fits so well, i love it.
