Re: Zak's snare

Pete, re:

<< The sound of a snare drum is more than likely due to a decent sound mix
out
 front...ie what type of reverb they have on it (gated, etc.) or how it's
 EQ'd...it really has little to do with the drummer...trust me I've recorded
 an entire CD with one snare drum.. and with the EQ and reverb changes it
 sounded different on every song.... >>

Or... It could simply be the drum, itself, yes???

>>I'm pretty frickin anxious to hear Zak...I gotta admit i"m skeptical of his
playing over that of Simon's....Simon's pretty much of a drumming god...but
then again that's personal preference..is that allowed 'round here ?

One of the things that people have to keep in mind when comparing is the
songs, themselves. It's not really an a/b comparison if the material is
different. I'd say that "Tommy" would show the goods and bads of a drummer,
more so than "Quad"...
