Help in getting this certain drum sound: (link)

[mjm620]

I'm using adobe audition to record some drum tracks, and I'm curious how I would get this type of drum sound:

compression maybe?

This is a fairly raw clip of the sound I'm currently getting:

Thanks!!

It's a drum machine that you're trying to emulate.

Your clip is nowhere near what you're trying to get.

I really don't think that's a drum machine. Also I know its not close at all to what I have, because I posted the raw track drums I recorded.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to RAMI again.

It is a drum machine, and raw or not, you won't come close with what you have recorded.

Hey dude, howzabout you post a section of the song that actually contains drums? That clip you posted has no drums until the vey end and I can't tell what's going on..

No, that's the thing. The "snare" that's going on all the way through (with the reversed sample coming out of the right side) is what he's talking about.

Well there are certainly no real drums in that clip he provided.

The "real" drums (probably samples) he posted in his other clip sound pretty cool though. He oughta forget this silly rap shit and play some rock.

Hah, thanks actually I am a rock drummer but I'm recording drum tracks for a rap album coming out which is trying to conserve old rock. Heres a clip of my track to the guy's song: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=JgG1ue

I just figured the techniques used to make the drums sound like that other track might be useful in some other parts of the album im doing. Thanks anyway though guys!

Well it's not "old rock" but IMO that track would sound far better with brighter hats, a nice dry piccolo crack, and a kick with more thump and less compressed click. Cool beat BTW.

[mjm620]

Thanks! I'll give it a shot tomorrow, and post some new tracks when I get some more progress done.

Smell's like Teen Spirit is now 18 years old. Define "old rock".

its electronic drums, you'll have to try very hard to get that sound because its all computerized. good luck haha
