After a whole year I'm still listening to this album I'm still very curious about the sound of the drums, for me, these are still the best recorded drums on a metal album, with Doomsday close on 2nd place.
I know there are tom samples of the Chimaira kit, but I'm also really curious about the snare.
But to first return to the toms. I've got a Pearl mmx, Sennheiser MD421, and when I run it through a RME octamic, I don't even come a little bit close to the tom sound of the Chimaira album. What preamps and eq were used in the end to get that perfect punchiness and cleaness to the toms?
I think the snare has got a nice "crack" to it. So I'm really curious if it's 100% natural, or 50/50 and where the sample came from if it was sampled.
I'll probally don't get answer to most the questions above here. But still, any small info would help to get closer to a perfect drum sound.
