Mick Fleetwood being 6'7" is probably the reason for the distance between the snare and hi- hat.

You forgot to add the mountains of cocaine, essential to the tone

By trade, I'm a hard rock/heavy metal musician (drums & guitar)... this era of drum recording (and this album, in particular) has some of my all-time favorite drum sounds. I enjoy & appreciate the ever-loving crap outta this video series!

Nicely done. I've tried numerous ways to do this in the past but never got it to sound as good as you guys did. I shall steal your tips.

This series is excellent

To avoid the bleed between the HH and the snare drum, you can put a small gobo in plywood with self adhesive bitumen damping matts on both side. It's really heavy and isolates really well. It was common for funk records and 70/80s pop like MJ Thriller. I love this sound, it's almost like a drum machine. Nice video thanks

There is such a "satisfying" quality to this drum sound. The simplicity and simple punchiness is very pleasant to the ears. I love the crazy Bonzo sound of the early 70's, I think the gated verb sound of the 80's is charming, and 90's rock drums slam hard AF. But this one is so smooth and simple, great for mellower bands like Fleetwood

I love the 70's dry drum sounds. Particularly on the Big Star records.

I wish you did the led zeppelin 2 drum sound. What Eddie Kramer and Glynn Johns did there is really something else still to this day. The low end on the whole album is other worldly, but the kick drum especially! Can’t talk about heartbreaker, the lemon song, whole lotta love and ramble on enough. Or even since i’ve been loving you from LZ3, becase that kick’s resonance and body goes really deep into your soul! Gosh, i hope one day i can see guys you breaking these down🙏🏻🤞🏻 Love from Hungary♥️

I’ve always like the mid to late 70s “west coast” drum sounds. One of my favorite drum sounds of the era is “After the Love is Gone” by Earth Wind and Fire. That track might not be as dry as the Rumours drums but it’s a very up close intimate sound.

God, those toms are SPOT ON 🤯

Rumours is the quintessential hi-fi album.

Love this!! Recorded my drums like this today and it rocks!!

these vids are so cool! I've always loved this particular drum sound, especially on the song "Dreams"

Pretty cool and that's my favorite from Fleetwood Mac " Dreams " beat / song! Awesome job!🎼🤘🏾😎

hands down one of the best produced songs ever

Thanks. Fun to revisit that era’s sound production.

I’ve always liked the drum sound on FM’s eponymous record as well as Rumours, very cool to see how they did it

A seventies Bill Bruford sound would be a nice one to recreate, the one from The Yes Album or Close to the Edge :)

I fucking love these sample packs, keep 'em comin'!

Love it, thanks! Maybe still a little brighter/crispier in the high end than the original but sounds absolutely marvelous. Well, who am I to keep you down...

In Ken Caillet's book, he notes that they used an API console and he was a big fan of digging into the eq's. Nice vid!

Wowzers, this is great, thanks!

great stuff keep it comin’

Love those dead 70’s drums. I Can’t Tell You Why has a great sound too.

Y'all nailed it

Love it! Great vid, thank you!

Love that sound!

This is awesome, love this series! Would love to see a break down of the drum sounds on Beck's 'Sea Change'... One of my favourite drum sounds.

Love this sound

Interesting stuff gang. Thanks for the tips and tricks. I'm looking at my own drums pretty hard on my Lo-fi chill tracks. I'm a bit limited, because I don't want to use a DAW to create, and am exploring other ways of getting cool sounds.

The Cure album Faith - amazing drum sound!🙏🏻❤️

Sounds great.

Love this track

Superb Mick-Style playing, by the way :-)

Spot on.

I don't play drums, but this videos are really rad

Please do ‘when the levee breaks’ drums. reckon that would be dope!!

right

I dare you guys to recreate Nirvana's In Utero drum sound!

Similar intro to The Doors Hello I love you. Love the drum sound of Grace Jones Slave to the rhythm.

Killer sound and vid

curious about which envelope follower plugin was used. great video as always

That's definitely the sound of the 70s. Lol I remember going into studios with my dad in the late 70s and 80s and the rooms were all so dead. Everyone would marvel at a dead room. Now, I'm looking for the complete opposite.

70s sounds are so clean and open, today everything is compressed like plywood

In the days of tape and vinyl we never heard drums like we would live. Extreme compression or backing off on levels, or deadening the sound of the drums with physical covers and barriers. The drums in most my rock and jazz vinyl was so suppressed they might as well been playing carboard boxes. Drums were not a part of reality in the recording, with electric guitars out front all the time. For a young audiophile of the 1970's, drums were always the most disappointing unrealistic instrument in the recording.

Lefty Drummers FTW - thanks!!!!

Would really love a Clouds Taste Metallic/Race for the Prize (Flaming Lips) drum video

that envelope is what they used to do too, especially on tusk if u listen to the demos & the final drums

What did you add the envelope follower to which drum or mic?

Very nice video! I see you use the BFD snare muffler. To your ears in the room they usually sound great, but I find that for recording, they sometimes kill the drum a bit too much, which may be why you need the "cheat" transient designer on the snare track?

Hi @reverb Could you upload the separate samples please? There's just a loop on the download link :) Thanks

I love how this sounds. Could we get the individual samples, please?

Can someone kindly explain what he meant by "adding an envelope follower" to the kick means? I know it traces the transient, but is it being sent to something else?

That was great! We’re you doing the eq on computer rather than the desk while tracking?

Good job... so the hi frequencies in the snare sound were just from the overheads or the envelope follower or both? the snare wire sound was always very present in the F M drum sound so surprised you didn't have a bottom snare mic but either way it worked!

When you have drums and drumming wife, you don’t need any Eq.

you should all reach out to ken caillat who worked on the original recording. a lot of the sound came from the room it was recorded in. it was a tom hidley design which was known to be super dead. recorded with an api console.

You have to do the ELO/ Jeff Lynne drum sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will there be a sample set for the individual parts of the the kit? So we can play it our own way? ;-) I guess you already recorded them? In my dreams that is. You make playin' fun.

I think I ones saw some footage of Mac Fleetwood recording his snare seperatet from the rest of the kit. And with a mad expression on his face...

What version of Protools did Fleetwood Mac use?

Would love to see you figure out “Hallogallo” by Neu!

Be curious to see a Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream episode, Matt Chamberlain’s drums sound great considering they have to compete with Billy Corgan’s wall of fuzzed out guitars (rumors of some tracks having dozens of guitar tracks stacked on top of each other.)

Yes!!! Yes!!!!!

Do more dirty/processed drums! Like the song “Cheerleader” by St Vincent - anything John Congleton has produced, honestly

I bet that Mick Fleetwood's loooong legs and arms made spacing the instruments out easy-peasey.

How about Alan Tew's soundtrack for The Hanged Man? Now that's a smooth drum tone.

can you do t rex mad donna?

Anyone know what bpm she's playing at?

cant find the sample pack on the link..

Oasis Definitely maybe era drums. Shaker maker, supersonic, live forever. ..please.

i'd love to see - Portishead - Cowboy's drum sound - Martin Hannett's Joy Division drum sound -

Confused why this is one of the only "What's that sound" that is just a loop and not individual samples. Any chance on getting the individual drum samples?

I vote for Amen, Brother. Should just get it out of the way now.

Not a drum mixing expert by any means, but it also reminds me of Ringo on Abbey Road

Ahhh...what's up with the curve on that 451?

This is such a great drum sound. Any chance you guys can upload the one-shots like you have for some of the others kits?

Snare is slightly bright, otherwise y'all nailed it!

For me it sound as if the overheads were actually a recorderman setup. Becouse while the hihat is seperated, it doesnt sound to me as if its on the left of the kit. This strange stereo yet centered sound always is evidance for this oh setup. Also they allegidly used a 441 on the kick. Would have loved to hwar that!

So did anyone talk to mick Fleetwood 🤔

🤟🤟🤟

It would be really helpful if yall spent a little time detailing the drum tuning/muffling techniques as that is just as important as mic and mixing techniques. This only really gives us half of the pieces to the puzzle.

Eagles hotel California album had a similar drum sound

Also the drums on that album were 2nd generation. They lost all the highs on the master tape of the drums because they wore it out. The 2nd Gen safety copy were clearer then the 1st gen tape.

Why don’t you ask the producer of rumors

I love, love this series, but dampened means to make something damp or wet. Damped is the correct term...

Warm dry 70s drums >>>>>>>> Hollow gated-reverb 80s drums.

I was a huge Fleetwood Mac fan until they thought firing Lindsey Buckingham was a good idea. The 2 in the video, I don't believe were born when this album was released. Lol To me, Dreams is a 2 chord wonder and a truly great example of beauty in simplicity.

Sounds really good. Would love to get clean individual hits, as well. I think the OHs are filtered a little too much, actually... could have either lowered the frequency or maybe used a gentler slope. Hats and cymbals sound very tinny and AM-radio-y; which could be cool, but not alongside the much fuller sounding shells. There's a disconnect between shells and china to my ear that is not there in the Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, etc. tracks of the era. Just my opinion, YMMV.

Only because it was the Worst Drums I ever heard. Do the Outfield's 1st album, yup the Album with Josie/All the Love. But the Drum sound is the same thru the whole CD. Say it isn't So, my favorite song by them with horrid sounding drums, it mainly is the snare drum sound, it is loud in the mix and sounds so Dull.

So, whose wallet is it?

If I was directing this dude, I'd encourage him to stop using the word "right" where it doesn't belong, right?

Sub par

Better if you don’t talk over the tracks.

Too much talking

Please do The Dead Weather - Horehound album! Jack White's kit is crazy cool
