YES PETER YES!!! Outside Inside is a fantastic sounding album. Too many up here wouldn't give it chance because they thought the Tubes were just cheesy pop. Solid Rock album, great on headphones.
"Power Windows" by Rush. Neil's snare just cracks on that album. And, the bass drum sound on "Territories" is booming. Beautiful drum sounds throughout that whole album.
Also, "Ghost In The Machine". What a jump in sound from Zenyatta. On "Secret Journey" when the bass drum kicks in, it shakes the house!
1- Art Blakey Jazz Messengers : Moanin
2- Billy Cobham : Spectrum
3- Dream Theater : Falling into Infinity
4- Herbie Hancock : Thrust
5- Brand X : Unorthodox Behaviour
6- UK : Danger Money
7- Tony Williams Lifetime : Believe It
8- Magma : Attahk
9- Mahavishnu Orchestra : Inner Worlds
10- Rush : Signals
Fun topic. The first album I thought of was In Through the Outdoor. My favorite Bonham sound and performances., especially on Carouselambra. I call that the die while trying to air drum to it song. It's exhausting. Stewart Copeland with The Police has been mentioned in a few comments but I have a different album choice: Reggatta de Blanc. I also love Roger Earl's drum sound on Fool for the City.
My favorite is “Creatures Of The Night” by KISS
Thanks for another really great show guys. I totally agree with what Pete said in relation to Who's Next about the importance of the placing of the microphones and the role of the sound engineer. Another great example is Halleluhwah by Can. It was recorded on a cheap 2-track tape recorder in the entrance hall of the castle the group were living in (which had good natural reverb). Based on years of experience of the venue, Holgar Czukay knew exactly where to put the mikes. Despite the primitive equipment it sounds so crisp and fresh (highlights are at 2:05 and 5:07).
Other great drum tracks (based on the recorded sound quality and playing) are:
- Ian Paice on Flight Of The Rat from Deep Purple In Rock,
- Mitch Mitchell on I Don't Live Today from The Jimi Hendrix Concerts,
- Alphonse Mouzon on all of his Mind Transplant album,
- 'Philthy' Phil Taylor on Overkill from the Motorhead album of the same name
- Big Paul Ferguson on Primitive from Killing Joke's debut album.
Yes to the aforementioned Who’s Next,the first two Bad Company records, The Police Zenyatta Mondatta, Rush Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures…so many others
@@drummer78 i love that finally someone gave Simon Kirke his due! A plus bro !
ATW by All Them Witches, in particular the track Diamond.
Milestones - Miles Davis.
Philly Joe’s drum sound still sounds fresh today and sounds like your sitting right next to his kit in the studio.
Pete is a genius talking drums…could listen to him for hours! 🤘🏻
Spring Session M- Missing Persons
VH 2- Van Halen
Slide It In- Whitesnake
Diary Of A Madman- Ozzy
Violence & Force- Exciter
Moving Pictures- Rush
Regatta De Blanc- The Police
Perfect Strangers- Deep Purple
High N Dry- Def Leppard
For Those About To Rock- AC/ DC
From the top of my head:
METAL CHURCH - Metal Church (Ironically, The Dark has one of the worst drum sounds)
SLAYER - South Of Heaven
THE ROLLING STONES - Beggars Banquet
TELEVISION - Marquee Moon
ELVIS COSTELLO - Armed Forces
ELVIS COSTELLO AND BURT BACHARACH - Painted From Memory
JONI MITCHELL - Court And Spark
BOB DYLAN - Highway 61 Revisited
TERRY REID - The River
THE WHITE STRIPES - Elephant
Love the Bobby Chouinard sound on the Billy Squier albums Don't Say No and Emotions in Motion. Also John Panozzo on any of the 70's Styx albums.
These two come to mind: Danzig "How The Gods Kill", The Cardigans "Life"
Speaking of Bonham, to me his masterpiece is In my time of dying. So heavy. And, he drives that whole 11 min song. Thats the one for me , from bonham
Presence is great for drums.
Wish he'd played it that way live.
@@BenDowdy
The song was recorded live in the studio
@@winstonsyme5899 I mean live in concert. In all concert footage I've seen, Bonham plays "In My Time Of Dying" in the standard 4-on-the-floor style, while on the record, he hits the snare drum on 3 & 1...
The only 2 live footage performances of this song I have seen are on Earls Court 75 and How the West Was Won dvd and I thought Bonham played it exactly as he did on the record at those shows, but I’m not a musician and maybe I didn’t pick up on the timing shift? The performances still sounded great though.
Fates Warning- Parallels
Nightwalker by Gino Vannelli. Best drum sound (and performance) I ever heard. Vinnie Colaiuta is an absolute beast
Scott Rockenfield! That album did for Scott Rocks drums what Mindcrime did for EdBass’ Spector!
I always feel unqualified to comment after Pete speaks. He’s so well educated ! Awesome show guys!
Great discussion with my favorite guest. I'm surprised that Stewart Copeland was not in your 20 albums. I'm not a drummer but the drum sound on Ghost in the Machine by The Police is really really great ! Thanks guys !
Rush - Fly by night
Great episode. Most of the bands/individuals that I was going to list were mentioned. So, will list them again along with a couple that were not included:
- Van Halen
- Kansas
- Motley Crue
- Queensryche
- Led Zeppelin
- Cozy Powell
- Communic: any recording. For a 3 piece, their sound is immense, including the drum sound
- Nevermore: especially their album, Dreaming Neon Black. Everything is upfront and in your face.
I think the Motley Crue 94' album should be in this conversation along with AC/DC 'Back In Black'. A more obscure one would be Heavy Bones s/t album! Frankie Banali gets the best drum sound he ever recorded on that album IMO. GREAT SHOW GUYS!
KISS - Creatures of the Night
Rush - Counterparts
Yes - Big Generator
Dream Theater - Train Of Thought
Black Sabbath - The Eternal Idol (great call Pete!)
Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark
Kiss creatures yes plus
War machine drum sound
Kiss's Creatures of The Night and most of Whitesnake 1987 (thanks to the wonderful Aynsley Dunbar) definitely come to mind.
Yep, Creatures drum sound is great.
Carr is thunderous on COTN
Love these drum shows gentlemen!! Thankyou !
Van Halen - 1984
5150 continues that sound, albeit with Simmons pads.
Appetite for destruction has maybe the best snare sound ever
Adler is amazing on that first album it's too bad life went the way it did with him
Cozy Powell’s whole drum kit on the live release “One Night At Budokan” by the Michael Schenker Group, is Brilliant!
For modern albums I’d say the drums sound on Tool’s “Fear Inoculum” is the best I’ve ever heard.
lately an album I can't get enough from is Spirit Adrift's Ghost At The Gallows , great drum sound on it , clean , crisp , swaggering playing ..,
Mark Zonder on Fates Warning- Parallels is fantastic. Very important cymbals and toms. Maybe the most powerfull drums are on the M.S.G live album One night at Budokan. Cozy Powell as it best.
Holy Diver is dry but I love it
I like that raw sound too of the debut, even if it's not produced particularly well there's a nerve there. I kind of agree with Pete on Sacred Heart, I think it's the best sounding album from that period.
Had similar drum gig dreams/nightmares! Seriously guys…funny stuff!
Just starting the video, but Martin better mention Adam & the Ants.
How’d I miss this show live?
Moving Pictures
Abacab - agree with Martin!
Who’s Next
Empire - agree w/ Pete!
Candy-O
Signals
Fair Warning
Ok Computer
Powerslave
Superunknown
Give Us a Wink - agree Martin!
Siren - Roxy Music
Aenima- Tool
90125
Fleetwood Mac -1975
Breakfast in America
Many more out there!!
Dave Brubeck - “Time Out”
One of the things that I have always admired Bill Bruford for,is that he approached electronic drums differently than everyone else at that time. He stopped making electronic drums to sound like a conventional accostic kit, electronic drums are a completely different instrument. I hated bands that were trying to get acoustic kits to sound like massive synthetic acoustic kits. To my ears when conventional rock bands started using electronic drums. Their music always sounded lipsid an😢 uneven in a very annoying way.
Made in Japan
Deep Purple
yeah had that drum dream a few times ha ha.
Leftoverture drums sound sublime
Great call Webb Ehart rules
Why does no one seem to mention 100000 years off kiss alive. I always loved the drums on that track
People never mention this one: Motley '94. Bob Rock and Tommy Lee got a killer drum sound on that one, just gut punching!
Yep, I was going to mention that one. I like Bob Rock's sound on Metallica Black album too
Tommy's drum performance on Power to the Music is his finest hour in my opinion
@@logancollins7097 used it in 1994 to test our my buddy's new surround sound system. It worked...
All Zeppelin and Back In Black.
Youthanasia by Megadeth has a great drum sound
Definitely NOT those early Queen albums. Where is the foot pedal? Roger must have been cranky!
Those early Queen albums sound thin and abrasive
Nobody mentioned Jughead from the Archies.
Slipknot: Iowa
BCC - V
Piano and Mellotron are harder than the drums to record and get to sound like you what them to sound.
Jump in the fire
Lars Ulrich
Slayer inna gada da vida on the less than zero soundtrack
