Things I need to understand about drums

No, do not cut out all low frequency in the drums. The drum part is the rhythmic bedrock of your track, regardless of style or genre, and therefore needs bass content.

Rhythmgj,

We are used to hifi, and thx in cinema, 9.1 on the TV screen and '3D' on the porn computer. And know the sound that is crystal clear straight out of hardware electronical music instruments.

There is a generation who got high on mp3 and a phone that can write bass on screen and can even take pictures of it or show you all the video's in the world about it.
But unless you plug it in, can never produce a deep bass. That generation simply does not care for bass that much, because they know bass only from pumping woofers and weird dub step tunes.

We won so much with the computer and wireless Internet, but we lost some. Pleasing to the ear type of music is becoming one of the things among those...

Maybe , just maybe, we get some of that sweetness back one day...

Those drums are clearly from a drum machine. The kick and the snare are standard drum synth sounds, each passed through a specific reverb setting. The kick is using a dark room reverb, the snare a brighter one. The hi-hat (think it's really a pitched up clave sound), again, is a synth sound going through delay and, again, (clearly algorithmic) reverb, but a longer one.


Or you can have DarkRed's version:

It was recorded by Jason Bonham hitting Keith Moon's old drum kit with solid gold drum sticks at the Sydney Opera house, surrounded by 12 naked virgins (to dampen some of the room down), through vintage 1176 limiters into a Neve console captured at 1.5 THz 128bit audio (using an experimental AD converter lent by NASA) to maximize the voltages which enter your brain and make it sound nice.

Where do you even power supply 1176 limiters?
Did he Tesla or Watt?

And to find 12 virgins to fit in one room (meaning finding them at about the same year/month/day). . . Redspect bruf
