I dug that but hated the sound of the over processed snare. Wish we could get back to REAL sounding snares. More raw, more pop. Listening to Seasons of the Abyss isolated drum track. I miss that. Everything else in that mix sounded pretty good and natural to my ears. Drum over production are...

I like that album too, his tone is FAT. Also I have to say, I found this new tune sort of cool in a throw back 80's madmax meets AHA sort of way. Solo rips. I will give it to them. Pretty sure the rest of the album won't be like that. EDIT: seeing that this is on the same album as their latest...

Admittedly I have not played on in person but sounds to me on many demos, like they got it "right" with these personally. Maybe you guys are used to more modern mods?? but I agree, a Mr. Scary hot mod or a pedal will get you there. the 59 and 2203/04 circuits are perfect. I have two early 80's...

Funny enough I like my kick and I think my snare is solid.. but flat tom heads suck so a little assist i am cool with. The bigger problem is the processing..man, from country to rock to metal, it all sounds the same. The snare sounds like a fat muffled tom. Everybody going for that sound...

The COST of drumheads??! I had a decent stock that I picked up years ago so I haven't had to buy anything for a while. Now however, I am setting up to track my drums and listening back and I feel like the toms are a bit flat and the snare should be something more focused. I couldn't believe the...

100% top mounted. Recessed makes me feel like I am running out of range for drops and I rarely need to pitch up and do the Dimebag squeal so it's a no brainer for me. Also looks way cooler.

Never liked it personally. Thought he was a horrible fit and he struggled playing Malmsteen's stuff there is no question. Like Vai more as a rythm player actually.

He's making me think of Robbie Williams after he quit Take That and became this troubled soul that appealed to the heart of the english youth...except he actually wrote or cowrote a lot of his own songs and they were catchy, not regurgitate auto tuned rock pop like yungblud is doing. He was...

This yungblud kid to me yells a lot.. has some power but doesn't really show a ton of vocal ability. A lot of his studio stuff is very heavily produced and auto tuned so all I can conclude is people like his look. They are selling his verging on annorexic zoolander body for marketing purposes...

I actually got one straight from Bill's wife a few years back. Great crunch but it can be too much in the high's and it really is rather unforgiving for lead work so you need to be sharp ( which obviously Nuno and Dime were/are) I loved it for rythm but lead... less so.

He didn't play that great though..I'm a big Nuno fan too and I think his work with Extreme is off the charts but him playing Ozzy stuff is just "cool". He actually looked mortal.

Exactly.. he's a second rate Adam Lambert because Lambert at least, had his own flair and thing going on and although he could go fruity, he had/has a hell of a voice to back it up. He doesn't need to crotch grind to command attention.

When is the last time we cared about MTV? As for Nuno yes, rumor has it he has a custom line of his own guitars coming out. Apparently there is a website but it is a "coming soon" sort of thing. Theories are either that Washburn will build it for him as an off brand or that it could even be FU...

This Youngblud kid seems alright and he's done well with marketing but he is also so over the top he's almost like a Steel Panther " rock" star. Not even sure if he writes his own music but most of it seems like it was pretty terrible to me. He's all pouty duck lips and eye liner all the time...

Quarter Pounder rules. I loved the chopper until I got a quarter Pounder in my Demartini Pro Mod. It is the sound i had in my head. Probably going to get more for a few other axes.
