but yeah its just a 200hz boosted snare probably a 909 layered with a higher freq snare with emphasis on the punch/200hz area..
probs vengeance sample pack

kaili wrote:the tail probably is just some random snare sound with a nice tail on top
just put any snare with a tail on top and cut out the body so its just the tail and the 909 body

but the tail can be anything man just pick a snare with a nice tail and shape the envelope with some attack so the tail is all you hear
and if the body is too big on a 909 then just use an envelope to shorten it

Now that that has been said haha it is definitely a vengeance sample! I've heard them use loads of vengeance stuff!
However this sounds like the skrillex snare, which I have made a similar sound to before
My processing is basically this

Take a tom sample, a live one thats hit hard is usually best, tune it up till you get a good body sound, then cut and fade the sample so you literally just have the transient and eq the peak in at 200-250hz!

Then I take a 909 snare/clap, eq and compress them then fade them so they're fairly solid sounding and layer them with the tom transient, I usually have these running in a group with some gentle compression, i send them to a high passed reverb and thats how I get that splashy tail, sometimes if its not as splashy as I want i'll layer a burt of high passed white noise with it, which fills out the reverb a bit more. Then I pretty much resample and add whatever else i feel is necessary, like more eq or compression etc!

I got pretty accurate results with that heres one I did the other night (however I was working on laptop speakers and couldnt hear the horrible ring my tom was giving, should have faded it more, but you get the idea)
