Members ReighIB Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Right now I have a aluminum Tama snare (that came with the 5-piece rockstar kit pack) and I am ready to move on to a better sounding snare. Im looking a snare with more 'pop' that sounds a little flat. Sounding like this http://www.myspace.com/itdiestoday (The snare in thank you for drinking). So based on that snare sound, can someone recommend me a snare that can sound like the snare in the song mentioned above? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cheeseadiddle Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 There's a snare in there? All I heard was blasturbation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BenG Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Just go with a deeper snare really. Play with heads. Maybe someone on here will have a little better input, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CraKaJaX Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I heard a snare in the beginning, but then my ears started to bleed and I forgot what it sounded like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turdadactyl Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 I would try a maple snare, tune it up pretty tight. A big part of that sound is the mix though. Lots of reverb and compression and I'm sure it's EQ'd a good bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boxofrocks Posted July 26, 2008 Members Share Posted July 26, 2008 Bet you find out those aren't "real" drums at all man...But to get close, it's all processing, compression, EQ, and noise gate.Or make it easy and use a trigger.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bitter Dawn Posted July 26, 2008 Members Share Posted July 26, 2008 ReighIB: How about you just contact the band and ask them? The picture of the drummer hides the snare, but I'd guess it's possibly the snare that came with the kit and he just changed the skin, tuned it to his liking and then the mixing took care of the rest. turdadactyl is onto something. I've got an all maple snare and once I put a G2 skin on I achieved a flat sound similar to the one in that song. ----- That deathcore stuff is bad for you though! Emo boys trying to play some sort of half-ass death metal with soft vocals, it's just not real metal. If anything, check out some progressive death or technical death.

Members turdadactyl Posted July 26, 2008 Members Share Posted July 26, 2008 *patiently waiting for a metal drummer to come along* You can wait all you want, but the answers above are probably going to get you close. A lot of it is the mix. If I get really bored this weekend, I'll record a bunch of snare hits and mix it 4 different ways to show you how much sense that makes. Or...you could wait for a metal drummer to tell you with as little certainty as the rest of us. Email the drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know it has alot to do with the mix but I was wondering how I can get that sound live. I appreciate your offer about mixing snare hits, but I can do that with my own snare and mic so theres no need for that. And youre right, I should just e-mail the drummer and ask him directly. I didnt mean to sound unappreciative to anyones suggestions. I guess I was just eager to find out how to get that snare sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old French Canadians Aye, Cryptopsy is one of the very few good bands to come out of Canada unfortunately. Another good one from Quebec is Monarque. I'm not familiar with Gojira, but I use to be a pretty big Opeth fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SYMBOLIC Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 Yes, I know it has alot to do with the mix but I was wondering how I can get that sound live. A live (unmic'd) snare will never sound like a recorded snare. A mic doesn't "hear" sound the same way that our ears do, add to that the EQ, gate, processing, sampling/triggers, etc, and you get the point. You may be able to get that tone out of a PA, but it will take some work, and would change venue to venue. Try different head combo's and tunings, and you might discover the magic combo for you. That tone is not my cup of tea, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff Graw Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 hmm, before the screaming the song didn't sound half bad to me -- and I usually hate metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rogers8pcs Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 Get a 6 1/2x14 snare tune the bottom really tight and the top moderatly loose and stick a blanket so it doesn't resonate at all and the you go. well the blankets optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeromus-X Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'm still trying to figure out how to duplicate the snare sound on live. Sounds like a bunch of processing to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
