I dunno, both Ian Paice's and Keith Moon's drum sound post-1970 is pretty damn powerful and awesome if you ask me.

They're okay. They're both powerful and awesome drummers too. Keith Moon beat the shit out of every drum and cymbal he had.
I've always wished I could go back in time and record Moon's drums better than how they did back in the day. Listen to the crazy blast-offs in "Happy Jack" and imagine that with a clean and clear drum recording.

i agree with this big time. i don't think mondo bizarro was their best collaboration though. that album's drums sound a little too big for the ramones in my opinion. i really like his work on road to ruin. that record sounds extremely tight all around.
the ed stasium mix of rock n roll high school might be my all time favorite drum sound. during the intro, the snare sounds like you're getting punched in the head, but isn't overbearing at all.
also, it's alive, besides being one of my favorite live performances, has a great sound too. the only bad sounding ramones record he was involved with was leave home, but he wasn't the producer anyway.

I agree 100%. Road To Ruin is, IMO, the best sounding Ramones record. Johnny's guitars sound awesome on that album. Tight drums. Thumping bass. Just awesome. I also agree about the drums on Mondo Bizarro, but I think they fit with the overall production. Johnny's guitars seem kind of roomier than usual on that record too, so the roomier drums aren't really out of place.

The drums on the Paramore album "Riot!" sound pretty good.
Also, the albums "Scream Bloody Gore" and "Leprosy" by Death - buried in reverb but sound great nonetheless.
Also, the drum intro to "painkiller" by Judas Priest is simply amazing.

I really love the sound of the drums on Jeff Beck's Performing This Week ... with Vinny Colaiuta on the drums. It's a live performance and the sound is wonderful.

I think you make a good point aobut Mondo Bizzarro. It wasn't the prototypical Ramones sound, and it was much bigger. That's what I like about it. Seems to me they were going outside their normal baliwick for MB and Acid Eaters. The different sound on Mondo Bizarro fit the songs IMO, but may not have been so great had they written a bunch of songs in their traditional style. For songs like 'take it as it comes' and cabbies on crack' I thougt it was money. If they used the sound qualities from Cabbies on crack to record Sheena is a Punkrocker, that might suck.

Yeah, that was a pivotal album in so many ways. Considering the (now) archaic equipment that was used and the fact that with only a few overdubs, it was essentially a "live" album, Led Zepplin 1 holds up very well against some of the more sophisticated contemporary recordings. I attribute this (beyond the enormous talent playing the music) to some very talented and creative engineering. I love the story (perhaps legend) that they recorded Bonham's kit in a stairwell to get the best acoustics.

I love sounds of drums in Jeff Buckley - Grace album. They really have power.
Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Stadium Arcadium have nice mixed drums. Completely different but worth hearing.
I'm amazed by Maroon 5' album "Songs About Jane". Please, anyone who is interested in drum sound. Check out song called "The Sun". The snare is unbelievable, so bright, with power and clarity.

Eh, I have to disagree. While having lively drums for Bonham was a nice change of pace from the deadness of his contemporaries (looking at you, Carl Palmer) sometimes I think his drums were too roomy. But not neccesarily on LZ 1. His drum sound on LZ I is overall pretty good, but I think he got better drum sounds on later albums.

If only for a moment.....
Actually, that was for the untitled fourth album, the outstanding example of which is the famed "When the levee breaks" which was in part by Memphis Minnie ! She was one of the few guitar totin' lady blues singers of the 1920s.
Funny thing about Zep 1, it was the last Zeppelin album I heard of the original 9 (not counting the soundtrack). I'd pretty much loved the others and I'd heard so much about that debut that I was busting a gut to hear it. It was such an anti-climax ! The songs on it are neat, the playing is top notch, but.......
I do like the album and I think the drums are actually really clear and powerful on it.

Take it in context. I was a young drummer playing in a garage band (actually in basements)
and all we had to listen to was Beatles, Rolling Stones and then came Cream and Traffic.......... and then there was Led Zeppelin 1. Clear, powerful, and those damned incredible rapid triplets on the single pedal kick, and OMG we were all blown away. We went back in the basement and started to try and get anything close to that sound. It was a groundbreaking album in its day and it still holds up.

That was one of those albums that said "this is how you do this".
It was something we could try and copy. It was pretty impossible to copy the later Beatles. Eleanor Rigby - copy that... right. Zeppelin was the model for pretty much every metal group after that, to me the most copied band in rock. Like small jazz bands copied Miles Davis' band in the Kind of Blue period. Two bands that defined genres.
