One of my all time favors drummers. The Police were way ahead of their time. Stuart was a very unique drummer. Great breakdown regarding how they recorded his kit.
this is probably my favorite drum sound you guys have been able to get so far. The room mics mixed in with those coles OH mics is very natural sounding. The tape delay was like the sprinkles on top, beautiful.
Drum sounds I would like to see you experiment with: -Tom Petty; "Damn the Torpedoes" era -XTC; "Senses Working Overtime" -Velvet Underground; "Loaded" era OR My personal favourite: Neil Young; "Out on the Weekend"
@@Reverb Peter Gabriel "Come Talk To Me" - I know, these are mostly non-traditional drumset sounds, but some african tribal drums, but anyhow it would be so cool to see some of those in a clip, too! Or how about Chili Peppers "Give it away"? instantly recognizable drum sound, imho. Or "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors?
that was brilliant. My all time favourite drummer, saw him when I was a teenager, they were the 1st band I ever sae live,...It was like an epiphany to my human soul, you guys did a great job , to reconstruct, the genius Stewart Copelandl
Bass drum needs harder hit, Stewart hits pretty hard even now he is about 70, I saw the Police reunion show live in Dublin complete with 15 minute solo 🥁, such a joy!
Great insightful video, you two, and fabulous drumming. That crisp sound Nigel Gray got for the first two Police albums in Surrey Sound is unrivaled, hard to believe the building used to be a dairy. Hearing Copeland tell Rick Beato that Hugh Padgham was better at mic placement than Gray shocked me, not that Padgham did The Police any disservice on Ghost in the Machine.
All the tone is in the tin of mints, but they need to be vintage. 😂 It’d be interesting to hear some Radiohead, like maybe “Jigsaw Falling Into Place.“
wow, absolutely excellent playing and engineering here!! very informative. Only thing that sounded off at all to me was the snare not being tightened to the verge of splitting the head.
whats controv about it, just yer average clicky bright compressed 80s rock drums used by a million bands then, nothing sticks out about them. Play a basic repetitive thrash punk beat and thats that. If anything I would say they sound too compressed, too flat, no dynamics. Otherwise yer average mid 80s drum sound
@@email3575 if were talking Flip Your Wig and Warehouse you have a point. Agree. New Day Rising is a bit special though. It's the wall of sound thing. Listen to the overheads.
Keep in mind, this video is really just an ad for Reverb, and the idea that you need to spend big money to get results, instead of getting to work. Just about any smartphone pulled off the street has more technical capability, in every single regard, than all of music recording pre ~2004. If this were an actual technical breakdown, this (and any) discussion of vintage sound would start, stop, and center on the incredibly limited technical constraints of "classic" stuff, compared with us now working with 144 dB of dynamic range, or more. Essentially, everything until 'livin La Vida Loca' was a variation on 'engineers trying to limit analog tape noise" The next 10 years was spent convincing the old codgers that the Analog Emperor wasn't wearing any clothes But that doesn't sell very many neumann microphones
I disagree 100%….has zero to do with technology or smartphone capabilities. Using ‘what you had’ in much simpler times with great ears and way more taste than ANY producer of the crap that passes for music production today….that WAS the art of music recording/production. They USED ALL of the dynamic range back in the analog days. Not like the overcompressed, loudness-wars garbage of today.

Stewart
My All Time favorite band and drummer. Been listening to them since 1979. We opened for them once before they were famous.

I say it more than once: love these videos! So much knowledge transfer, I dig it...
That snare/hats sound is just fantastic. Great playing too.
Drum sounds I would like to see you experiment with:

Noted! Thanks for all the suggestions!

XTC is a great suggestion. These guys pioneered gated reverb around the same time, or before, Phil Collins did
Wow, this is SO great!
With some totally convincing Stewart Copeland drum work from Jessica. 👍🏻
Jessica's playing is really energetic and exciting - not that sterile "session" style that is often heard.
that was brilliant. My all time favourite drummer, saw him when I was a teenager, they were the 1st band I ever sae live,...It was like an epiphany to my human soul, you guys did a great job , to reconstruct, the genius Stewart Copelandl
Love these series! Copeland and Budgie were two of the drummers I remember from my youth that always were pretty iconic for their sound.
Bass drum needs harder hit, Stewart hits pretty hard even now he is about 70, I saw the Police reunion show live in Dublin complete with 15 minute solo 🥁, such a joy!
love this, especially the part where the equipment used probably costs more than the production of the entire Outlandos d'Amour record 😁
Great emulation of Stewart's style btw, really felt his energy in your drumming
This Ufip HH + Acrolite SD combo sounds dope! Nice video thanks

What’s the sound is my favourite series you do , pls do more of these. All instruments are welcome but drums are by far coolest , and I play guitar
Y'all NAILED this one. Great work!
Super sick!
Maybe a weird request, but can you check out The Cure’s drum sounds? Specifically from Seventeen Seconds or Disintegration.
Great idea!
Steve Jordan's John Mayer sounds, everything from the fat studio sounds of continuum to the raw high pitched live stuff with the trio
That is some damn fine playing too!! 🔥🔥
I don't record. I don't play drums. But I still watch all these videos. They're great. Love this series.
Excellent!
nice sounds and great playing
Nice work, and that drummer is 🔥🔥🔥
First off all, You have to have a TAMA drum kit and Paiste cymbals to start with😉
The drummer and The Drums are beautiful!!!!
relied heavily on the room mics for the VO too ;)
fantastic sound
Love these vids... i request a "The Who" what's that sound for Baba O'Reilly .. exploring Glyn Johns mic setup
Rick Beato has a video where he goes over Glyn’s drum set up.
@@zachary963 sure.... but i prefer this channel
Where is the Tama drum set with small splash cymbal and the octabans?
excelente trabajo! ahora deftones o primus!
Amazing! can you do an episode about how to recreate the drum sound of "who can see it" by George Harrison?
I can dig it Flame 🔥 On
Holy SMOKES! I am truly and profoundly impressed.
What a drummer!!!
Well done!
Jessica’s a beast
Stewart always used octabans with his kit for all those little high fills.
Cool. Thanks :D
Why didn't you usesome masking tape to choke the Sound of cymbals, toms, snare.? Im no expert but I assume it works.
Here's a controversial one: Try to recreate the drum sound on New Day Rising by Hüsker Dü

Jess is so cool
10k plus of microphones. just saying

Maybe by the third time you should check your lav mics lol :D Or invest in better ones haha

The drums sound amazing but did you have the lavaliers muted? TERRIBLE dialogue capture.
