The tuning and drum setups of the day have a lot to do with the sound associated with it. Not only are drums, heads and cymbals mostly not made the same as then, but drummers preferences have changed as well.gamblor wrote:Anybody ever explore how to achieve the drum sound you hear on most recordings from mid to late 60’s? (Early King Crimson, the Beatles, etc.)
Very few microphones may have been used, but they were of the highest quality by today's standards.gamblor wrote:From what I understand, very few microphones were used to capture those kits. What I want to know is how such a concise and dry snare and tom sound was generated on those recordings? Is there any way to mimic that using modern technology?

I must say though, you're 100% wrong about Remo White Coated Ambassadors. For my money, those are the best heads around. I like Evans heads a lot too, don't get me wrong, just saying that for the vintage vibe, you can't beat (pun!) a Remo.

I'm willing to do the test in August. I'll provide the heads. If you're right, then I'll eat my shorts (words). Also I'm just trying to stir shit, because you and I have discussed this before...lol

Jimmy page talks about how they produced the drum tracks for led Zeppelin. They placed two SDC's 30 feet above the drum kit off of a stair case in the lobby of this house that they recorded in. It was pretty neat to hear him explain it.
