That Flaming Lips drummer has skillZ! I always preferred The Terror album, gonna check it for mad snares now 😁
Best snare sound, for me, is this one. Pretty simple but I want to know what they did to make it sound like that.
Not the least interesting fact about Loveless is that Colm O’Ciosaig was ill for much of the (lengthy) recording so his drumming style was entirely recreated from samples.
Can't believe there's no Calexico in this thread

Re NMA Inheritance - as I heard the story at the time, Rob’s kit was set up & recorded in the lift at the rehearsal room in Little Germany, Bradford. I used to practice at the same place & I don’t think you’d fit my kit in that lift. So maybe it was his Slingerland Jazz kit. Or maybe ‘just a story’. I never got round to asking him 🙁
I always liked the snare on those old Barry White records. Super tight and compressed. A unique sound to my ears.
Both have been sampled a bazillion times because they sound great.
Snare and no Motown?
For me, Fyfe Ewing's drumming defined the early Therapy? stuff:
This one is alright.
RHCP Chad Smith plays a pretty mean Snare Drum in My Lovely Man, off the Blood, Sugar, Sex Magik Album.
Killing joke?
I like that the drummer didn't change out of his waders for the vid.
More cymbal than snare but still good.
Edit: missed transmission has already been added, d'oh!
