Drums From Hell
Posted on | August 15, 2008 |
…no, not the bad kind. The good kind. I’m just finishing up mastering a San Diego-based singer-songwriter’s album. When I first heard it I said to him, “wow, these drums sound good.” He kind of had a coy look when he said, “oh, those are Drums From Hell samples.”
The funny thing is that when I went to the company’s site, they market themselves a “heavy metal” drum sounds. This guy is an acoustic-based singer-songwriter…but the sound of the samples is great and sounds right at home.
It just proves to me, once again, that if you have a good drum sound to build on (real or sampled), the rest can move from there.
