Really? You sure we're reading the same thread????
I kinda liked the one when I said fire the guy .
I much prefer your drummers snare sound to travis. It's a horrible sounding snare imo. Your drummer's snare doesn't cut through enough and travis' certainly does, but that doesn't make it better sounding.If I play them, they sound great, and I'm no drummer, but my drum-god friend in another band from FL has played his kit too, it sounds good. It's not a case of the drums being crap or him resting the stick on the head or playing terribly inconsistently, I know he needs to lighten up on his tight he make his stand and that it's hurting the sound of the snare, but... He's on his second kit now, the first was a Forum, this one is an Export. We've used a Tama Stewart Copeland signature, a Pork Pie 10 inch piccolo and a DW 14 inch along with the snares from the Pearl kits. If he were a bad drummer, I'd quit the band over this, but it's come to my attention as I try to find ways to make us sound better.
This is our myspace with demos, listen to Red Cars on Sunday Afternoons.

I'd much prefer our drums sound like this (I'm not a huge fan of Blink 182 but Travis Barker's his favorite drummer:

If he's not rimshotting, I want to know how to make a snare sound like that.
Get him to lift his sticks higher then.Yeah, that's what I'm saying, but the real problem is still that our drummer hits like a bitch. That's where I'm going to start. A well-tuned snare hit hard should cut through a mix without being rimshotted. He needs to play more consistently and that's all there really is to it.
I like this sounds, for instance:
Green Sweater Society
80 or 90% or rock (and heavier music) are rimshots...
It´s not something to debate. It´s a fact...
You may decide to do it or not, I doesn´t change the fact...

Do you really think that susie bigslit gives or hears the differance in the snare sound that you like. NO
I was the last one to fuck her when she was till Susie Smallslit. She had to change her name after that.
Fuck that! I would look at the big picture. Is it just his snare sound that is the problem? If thats the only thing you are having trouble with in your band I would let it go. Does every drummer have to please the guitar player?
Does every drummer have to sound like neal or bonzo or whom ever the guitar player likes that plays in his favorite band?
If he plays well, Does well on stage and is a descent guy let it go.
Worry about pleasing the people you are playing for and you will have a lot more fun, Make more money and sleep better. Do you really think that susie bigslit gives or hears the differance in the snare sound that you like. NO
