I just started listening to these guys. Your right, the mood and creativity of this album is like no other. It reminds of Phish's Siket disk.

Totally. Its hard to talk about the album without praising the non-drum instruments. The power of the cymbols on KC Accidental, or the subtle awesomeness of them on the more quiet songs. It helps that hes such an amazing drummer ;)
 
songs for the deaf is right up there, however i do have some "moral" objections to the recording techniques used. you can't go past the zep dvd (does that count as an album) natural and pure.
 
I dont know if people have heard of a little band named Thin Lizzy haha. Awsome percussion, some of the best from the 70's. "Boys are back in Town" have some tricky business in it, as well as "Cowboy Song".
 
suicide

the boxcar racer album

BEFORE you all stab me in the face, i would advise you to listen to a few tracks on it so you know what you are doing when performing the stabbing.
 
You forgot it in people is one great album and the drum helps a lot. Very effective and dynamic like other people mentionned. I saw them live and Justin Peroff is one of the grooviest drummers. He really feels the songs he plays. If you haven't heard this CD (by Broken Social Scene), definitely give it a try.

I hear these guy's are a "who's who" of T.O.

Off topic (sorry :o ):
Leslie Fiest contributed to some of their albums (the Almost Crimes chick), Her solo album is pretty interesting to say the least. Her voice is hard to get out of your head.
 
Favorite Drum Albums

Wow, no small undertaking here.......
Metallica - "And Justice For All", "Metallica", "Reload", "Garage Inc."
Nirvana - "Bleach"
Alice In Chains - "Dirt"
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Blood Sugar Sex Magic", "Californication", "By The Way"
Ministry - "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste", "Psalm69", "Filth Pig"
Slayer - "Reign In Blood", "South Of Heaven", "Seasons In The Abyss", "Diabolus In Musica" (Paul Bostaph was killer, but I agree that Dave Lombardo is Tops!!!)

That's just a small sample, lots of good drum sounds in there!!! :cool:
 
OMG, I forgot!!!

AC/DC - "Back In Black" Awesome on so many levels!!!! :cool:
 
ANY and EVERY Big Country album. Mark Brzezicki is an amazing drummer, and often over looked and under valued. Every drummer owes it to themself to check out his work! And I agree about Hemispheres! Great album and obviously one of the greatest drummers. Vapor Trails would've been great too, if the mastering engineers hadn't trashed it.

Rush-"Caress Of Steel". An awesome album! "2112" is also a good drum record tone wise and chop wise.

AC/DC-"Ballbreaker" Phil Rudd's drum sound on that is awesome and he plays some good chops. "Stiff Upper Lip Live" is also great. "Powerage" and "Back In Black" are also classics.

The first Four Van Halen albums. Alex Van Halen kicks ass and has always had the best drum sound.

Led Zeppelin "How The West Was Won"-No explanation necessary!

ZZ Top-"Tejas" Frank Beard does alot of little stuff that is harder than hell to play.

I second and third Tejas, but you'll be lucky if you can find the original mix that existed before that wretched Six Pack collection was released. The sound of that original mix is incredible. It's dry as hell, but it's huge, funky, and more in the pocket than you can imagine. Frank Beard is extremely underrated. The drum break on "Its only Love" rivals any Zeppelin you've heard.

Id like to add AC/DC's For those about to Rock. The snare is completely unnatural, but incredible. I've heard that Mutt Lange would use key inputs on snare gates to trigger white noise from the snare and mix it back in behind the dry snare somehow making it sound like a big gun.

And of course, Albini's drums. Love em. Regardless of the band.
 
any don caballero. the guitar and bass have changed through the albums, but the stellar drums have stayed the same. I know my drummer would say danny carey though.

i'm talking about the over dubbed cymbals... the drums were tracked without cymbals, then the cymbals were tracked later (in one session for the entire album).

to me its kinda like getting the guitarist to record one string at a time.

most people probably won't see anything morally objectionable about it.
 
dr.colossus...

Wow, I never knew that.

What's the benefit of tracking this way? My first reation is that it would just make things more complicated.
 
YIELD...........Pearl Jam (Jack Irons) in particular the track Given to Fly
