That Snare in "nobody speak" tutorial?

[Brian Infante]

Hi, im interested in know how to make a snare sound like the one in the sec: 0:50 of "nobody speak" by Run the Jewels.
From that part on forward the snare get that reverb with what i think is a boost in the middle frecuences that make it sound "colder" or "mysterious"
Is there a filter that make it sound like that? (I use FL Studio by the way) or any similar snare sample in Omnisphere?
I appreciate any kind of help!

It’s a layered snare. More than one, plus claps at the beginning. At :50, it sounds like a propane tank or other metallic sound, compressed pretty hard with a little reverb, is brought in underneath.

Also super compressed mids, like you were saying. Not exactly the same, but compare:



Also, layering the right conga slap tone, with a nice reverb tail, can give an almost “sonar-like” quality. Consider the sounds on these two:

Here’s a thread arguing about what exactly the “Mercy, Mercy Me” sound is: https://groups.google.com/g/rec.audio.pro/c/Bpqkhd8P_wk/m/MagGrrJwb_MJ?pli=1

I think the “Nobody Speak” sound is inspired by that. But different. It’s lower. It might be another snare, but EQ’d higher. But it is soaked in reverb. And the point is your snare in question is definitely a multi-layered creation. Experiment.
