Since day one in 1983 Tico Torres has been the drummer for the American rock band Bon Jovi. With hits like You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, Bad Medicine or It's My Life, they wrote rock music history and became one of the best selling bands ever. But what is the secret behind Tico's drum sound? We grabbed a modern kit, some cymbals and a pair of drumming gloves and tried to get as close as possible to the original drum sound.

80s drum kits: 2 kicks, 14 gigantic toms, 73 crashes
80s drum beats: boots and cats
😂😂😂😂 so true
@@rajamcraja Always
Tico Torres is massively underrated. The guy has a great groove and perfect rock chops that very few people mention. His work on Blood on Blood and Wild in the Streets is awesome.
Great video. Tico was and still is a great drummer.
Totally agree
I've always loved the short "boom" of an 80s snare drum. Sounds like firing a gun.
💯😁 gated reverb is key
I think in Mutt Langes Def Leppard productions he actually used a gunshot sample
Really?
If you listen closely you can hear that the snare is actually a very big sound. It's beefy it's fat it has a lot of crack. It fills up a lot of space in the song.
My very first Drum hero. I still remember watching their live concert in london thru dvd when I was 11. And these guys are absolutely awesome. And Tico inspired me to play drumset even though I dont have one. Now I've been in a Band for 6 years and still. Tico is my Favorite drum hero.... Yet I still dont havemy own Drumset
Would love to get a view of you guys mixing those drum sounds.
We actually filming this one upcoming monday
@@ArtOfDrumming Nice! Looking forward to that video😊
The secret to achieve the right sound is using cool rock star gloves when playing. 🤘🏻
Great drumming, as usual!
;-) 100% true
Actually, they're practical in Tico's case. You can see in the Livin On A Prayer music video that he didn't use gloves or special drum sticks at that point. It was at some point during the New Jersey Syndicate tour that he ended up with carpal tunnel syndrome if I remember correctly. He ended up finding a type of drum sticks at that point that minimized the effect carpal tunnel syndrome so he could keep playing. The gloves may have also played a part in that too. I'm not too sure because I haven't seen that many concerts from the 80's. He has used them since the 90's though and they do look bad ass.
Love Bon Jovi and 80s sound! Thanks a lot. Also would like to see Tommy Lee in future or... maybe Christoph Schneider of Rammstein - drum sound on Reise, Reise album is something)
I second the Rammstein proporsal.
We actually film Rammstein recreation next week 😁
@@ArtOfDrummingRight on! Have fun with it! In waiting)
Would definitely love a Tommy Lee, Dr Feelgood era recreation.
Definitely yes please for mixing videos!
We are actually filming our first one next monday - stay tuned.
Mixing Videos: Yes Please!
Ok, will do.
@@ArtOfDrumming Excellent!
Please please the mixing video please...
Thanks in advance...
Of course, you'r doing a great job with the sounds, but great credit goes to this young drummer, during all these videos he showed great versatility and pro attitude.
And yes, a video about the mixing process is very welcomed.
Wait how did I miss this video?!? Tico was my OG inspiration behind the kit.
The transition from the cover to the intro sequence was smooth
Tico Torres is so underrated
love Bon Jovis snare sound
You guys are amazing to watch! Nailed it as always! Thank you for sharing!🌹
I've been waiting for this for a long time. That`s great. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback!
My favorite song!! (( ROULETTE )). By far to me the best BonJovi song.....I love playing UFO. TESLA, or some early van halen.
You guys absolutely crazy, recreating this old rock songs, and i love it!) ❤❤❤
Appetite for destruction next!
Sounded great! And I think the snare is really spot on in combination with the music
Amazing job to get all this into a reasonably short video. I'm not a musician but I love the art of music so this is perfect.
Thank you so much for mentioning the mixing! Gated reverb is a huge part of 80s drum sounds and too many people glance over it. I would LOVE to see videos about drum mixing.
Killer job guys!🤘🏻🥁🤘🏻
Next up..... Dave Abbruzzese and Pearl Jam's Vs Album😉👍🏻
ALSO also, I LOVE the fact you wore gloves.
First Foo Fighters and now Bon Jovi? You really want me to fall in love with you, guys.
The recreation was excellent as usual. However, i love the fact that you get the sound even without have the same drum sizes or cymbal brand.
This is a great lesson for all the kids you think they need the EXACTLY SAME drums and cymbals of the favorites drummers to sound like them.
Thank you, again, and see ya!
We just uploaded a mixing breakdown video of our Bon Jovi drum sound on our platform.
Check it out here: artofdrumming.com/courses/mixing-iconic-drum-sounds
Amazing video! First time CZcams recommend me your channel and I’m already subscribing to it! 🙌
Well Done! Incredible
Yeah, mixing videos all the way!! Keep rocking!!
Just discovered your channel - can't wait to see the rest of your videos! Your tom and kick tones are awesome to my ears!.
You guys absolutely killed it! That snare sounds equally huge as the song itself. A run through of the mix would be awesome.
An insight into the mixing process is very exciting indeed !
Nailed it!
This is so cool! I am playing You give love a bad name for a show with the School of Rock performance program. 🥁🥁
i love ur guys videos keep up the great work!
Thanks so much - will do!
Yes to mixing series!!!
That sounds amazing
Love this! Also I’d love to see the mixing video.
Mixing Videos are a great idea!
Tico is a magnificent drummer
Geez, that mixing sounds so freaking heavenly! Yo i gotta admit, you guys are keeping me so inspired on playing drums where I'm at the point that we switch instruments for the band I'm currently playing with 😂. Anyway great video and absolutely great video work specially on the recreation vid as well! Been a lowkey subscriber here for a while and you guys have been teaching me a lot ever since i discover you guys. Please do keep it up!
I do have a request tho. Can you guys make a remake of the drum sound of My Chemical Romance on their Welcome To The Black Parade album? The drums on the album sounds so amazing! Hoping you guys could take this one soon.
Lots of love! From the Philippines.
I Love your Drums & your Channel.Great set...
Well done ! Thank you.
tht was phenomenal
As a long time Bon Jovi Fan: thumbs up, very good job and very very close to the original. Favorite Bon Jovi Song btw: Blood on Blood from the New Jersey Album :)
That kit sounds great
Awesome job, guys!
Thanks
Sound exactly from the original record 👌 awsome
love the transition at 0:23 😂
Soooo cool!!!
Thanks 🙏 Tessa 😊
Tico is the best a master for my one of the best drummers of all time
This is great very well for learn drum kit reference , i've watching so excited for this channel 😊
I hope you make this to lot drummers of rock bands with difference sound kit like john bonham,neil peart,keith moon and much more drummers ...
Keep rock&roll 🤟✌️
Great Drumming
Great Sound
Tons of Free Content
I love this channel
I would be super stoked about a mixing and mastering explanation of the sounds
Bring the video with the mixing! Very good recreation!
That snare sounds awesome.
That's so close to the original that without paying close attention I would have never known.
Awesome job on this!
Thanks
Killer job. Amazing!
Waiting for Matt Sorum's iconic drum sound on Estranged. ⚡️🥁
Tico has been with DW Drums for nearly 10 years now, just FYI. He’s no longer endorsing Pearl Drums.
Very cool!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻👍🏻😀
Thanks
The most addictive singalong chorus in the history of music. To date, no one has ever manage to resist once they've heard the first Woah.
You nailed it
Thanks
thank you !
Cool video.
Nice tribute
Good job 👍
Perfect reconstruction
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing the mixing videos for the drum recreations, especially the one based on Ringo's Beatles kit.
tico also uses AHEAD sticks- nylon tips plastic coating- metal core
Yeah please do mixing videos!
Very nice work!
Once again, an absolutely incredible job.
I would certainly enjoy seeing videos on the mixing process.
I’d also love to see you guys recreate the drum sound from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ “Damn The Torpedoes” record. “Here Comes My Girl” has a very unique drum sound, and would likely involve a lot on the mixing end like this video.
Thanks for your feedback and the suggestion!
Damn, you guys are good!
Big yes please on the mixing videos!!!
Keren banget!!
Love The Hitman!
Better mix than the orginal!
😊
Please do Scott Rockenfield next please!
Let's go!
YES!
Loved the video ,thank you so much!!
and yes i would love to learn the studio technic to be able to get Tico's gated reverb huge drums sound .
did you make one already ?
i would love also to buy his signature snare drum
thanks for your work
awesome
Thanks!
speaking of big kits, i'd love to see a Neil Peart sound recreation video
I know it’s a simple beat, but still fun to play. My set is loosely based off this. 80’s rock was fun
Would love to see a mix breakdown. I think you got pretty dang close. I think the decay of the gated verb is a bit too short, but made sense in order to get the initial spike and predelay on the verb right. Usually for this sound I would either increase decay of the gated verb or stack it with a plate or a long decay studio verb mixed at a lower volume than the gated verb. Props for keeping the gated verb flag flying it is not as common these days.
It would be awesome to see you guys merge with electronic drums and recreate Rick Allen's (Def Leppard) signature sound. I did it with my alesis strike pro SE, essentially programming how I think his kit would be set up for a conventinal player.
Me encantan tus vídeos! Recreas muy bien cada sonido.
Estaría genial que incluyas una recreación de Money For Nothing de Dire Straits! Esa batería también tiene un icónico sonido.
Saludos desde México!
Please share w us the mixing processes! Love every single of your production!
Thanks 🙏
the mixing video of great tones would be nice. tks
Yes please do mixing videos, on all your previous videos also.
I'd love to see some insight in the mixing process. Great stuff guys!
Thanks, Mixing Video will drop soon.
I’d love to hear one shots Snare and bass cymbals and Toms to get an idea how each drum sounds 👍😀
👌
Really well done. But I think when it comes down to Tico's really original sound, you should play two crashes at once in the intro part. And I think, especially for this song, the floor toms would have been enough. :-D
In my teen age, I copied Tico's cymbal setup with Paiste Alpha cymbals and I was able to play almost every song of Bon Jovi. I really digged into the cymbals back then and played mostly the power models. Today I prefer more thinner cymbals and also smaller setups.
Still waiting for Roger Taylor from Queen
Me too bro
Very enjoyable vid! However, the original really doesn't sound like a gated reverb to me, it just sounds like a big room reverb without a gate. I notice the decay on the original is much longer on the snare drum. I could be wrong though, still sounds awesome.
I still love Tico Torres' sound of his kit. Oh and uh, by the way, I forgot to mention. Tico Torres uses Remo emperor x on his batter head for snare. I searched on the internet and he uses controlled sound in the past times on his pearl signature snare.
Great video!!! Can we get David Silveria's drum set in the next videos? 🙏❤
Mixing videos would be so badass.
👍🏻 coming soon!
Another great video Guys! So much attention to detail, even using the same T shirt! 😮😁 Got a question… What do you use to rack your cymbals? It looks kinda guitar stand like but not… Thanks! 👍🥁😀
Hey, thanks for your feedback! Yes, it’s a normal stand for acoustic guitars
Also, LETS GO REPPIN NEW JOISEY!!!
