I believe that the tones come from the player, gear, mics, placement of mics, and the room.
so which recording gives out an excellent drum tone?
1. all Led Zep albums
2. Joe Satriani's Extremist (Greg Bissonette) and Red Album (Manu Katche).
3. Stone Temple Pilots' Core (Eric Kretz)
4. Pearl Jam's VS (Dave Abbruzesse)
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik (Chad)
6. Dave Weckl on Transition
7. Grip Inc. (Dave Lombardo)
8. Mr. Big - any (Pat Torpey)
9. Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales and Mercury Falling (Vinnie Colaiuta)
10. The Breed (Harley Alarcon)
forgive me, I didn't memorize the producers and engineers.
so what's your top ten favorite?
