Bombastic, vibe-y and compressed to the max; the drums of "Don't Wanna Fight" by Alabama Shakes are some of Noam's favorite recorded drums of the past decade. How did Jessica and Noam do in their quest to recreate them?

I really love Thee oh Sees and King Gizzard. Could you show us how to mix and blend two drummers on recordings? That would be awesome
great idea
Fantastic wealth of knowledge you share in these "What's That Sound" episodes!
Thanks a lot!
the two kick method is SO cool. i will be using this immediately
Taking on something Shawn Everett engineered is a brave move to begin with but once again you guys nailed it!! Only thing I love in the original that I didn't hear here was just how wet the drums are. I always remember it as being a spring reverb type sound but that might be the guitars, listening to it now it sounds more like just a lot of room or a dark chamber verb?
My favorite element of these videos is that you make the samples free to download. I've already used a couple from other episodes in my own music.
Please link your music if possible! I'm very curious.
Thanks for the video guys, the sound you got in this one is awesome. It's me (English is not my mother tongue) or you haven't mentioned the RCA/AEA ribbon mic?.
Just asking, would it be possible to get the Pro-tools session this time also? I'm very interested in the processing techniques applied: M/S EQ, expander, saturation... It'd be a really nice way to learn about the approach to get the final sound. I believe I have all these plug-ins. Or maybe, this time, an additional video explaining further all the techniques, outboard and plug-ins applied?
The Verve: Bitter Sweet Symphony drum sound is huge but cold/reverberated at the same time. Very 90's british.
Great job, guys!
I love this series, you guys are amazing and I always learn so much about what is possible before the drums even get recorded as opposed to trying to achieve these sounds solely from mixing. Keep 'em coming!
i love this series and content in general! it’s super insightful and interesting in general!
i get myself even watching the ones i don’t particularly like the songs
please do Ty Segalls Manipulator drums sound! would be awsome!
up
This was awesome! I love Alabama Shakes.
My favorite series on CZcams! So cool...
This is MY FAVORITE SERIES!!
Great job!
Love the freeze frame at the end lol
Take a shot every time he says, “right.”
these drums sound INSANE. God damn
sounds INSANE!!
finally an episode i REALLY care about, Blake Mills is an incredible producer
btw pretty impressed with how close you guys got to the song
That, and he’s also a mind blowing guitarist.
Yes, really enjoy his soundonsound and mix with the masters things.
He's said many times that he's really into the PSP Vintage warmer . Which I've tried but not had a lot of success with (on drums) 🤷
That's true, but Shawn Everett did the mixing and engineering. He's the one responsible for these tones.
Waves C6 is amazing! One of my favorite plugins from them!
The drum sound from Hozier's new song "Eat Your Young" as well as "De Selby (Part 2)" would be really fun to watch, they have so much power, but because of the more minimalist beats Rory Doyle plays on them, the unique tone the engineers got from the drums really stands out!
Also, the drum sound on his song "Nobody" from his last album is incredibly crunchy and would be amazing to see recreated!
That kick is insane!
maybe some unknown mortal orchestra for a next song?
Love this ! Love the fat snare sound on most productions.
The playing reminds me a little of Herbie's "Chameleon"!!Dope video!!!!
Sounds great. Worth mentioning that the original seemed to have an added sub kick (sample?) on the one that's different then the rest of the kick hits. You all really dug deep for this one. Nice job.
Question, there is a mic shown between the kick drum and the tom (3:02) centre-up-right. Nothing about this, I missed something? It's a ribbon microphone I suppose
There’s a really amazing drum sound from Xenia Rubinos’ song Mexican Chef that this reminds me of. I would absolutely love a breakdown on that drum sound it’s one of my absolute favorites!
For April fools do one of the drum recording “myths” from Joy Division like recording each individual piece of the kit separately, or sticking the kit and drummer up on the roof (and possibly forgetting they were up there at the end of the day.)
It always sounded to me like there’s a tympani part layered under the drums that adds to the low end. You can kind of hear it toward the end when the drums drop out & there’s just the other layers of sound still going.
I would love to hear you analyse how to create the vocal effect used on Electric Worry by Clutch
oooo what a video to wake up to. anything shaun everett is enlightening
crazy to have blake mills producing and shawn everett engineering -- dream team
Please do Black Hole Sun. :)
You guys should do some Joy division. The Snare on Transmission is awesome
it's kind of a crime you guys haven't done Hounds of Love yet
What was the ribbon mic doing?
13:47 Which Soundtoys plugin are you referring to?
Edit: I think you said "Devil Loc", right?
Do the drum sound of Chat Pile's God's Country
please please please recreate the drum sound of "Goodbye" by The Sundays!!!
please try Melvins - Boris
What's the expander plug in that was used?
He used c6 as an expander
God, that snare is tasty in it's nastiness.
What about the ribbon mic over the kick facing the snare? Did I miss something?
Noam set up the RCA77 but didn’t end up using it in the final mix. He also set up a Neumann KM84 on the hi-hat that wasn’t included in the mix. I guess sometimes less is more?
Got it. I was thinking he may have used the ribbon to simply smash it with compression and distort it a bit for some dirt. No need! The kit already sounded great! Good job!
Do one for the drums on rolling stones Tattoo You!
I'm betting they layered the shells with samples.
The tuning of the drums would be interesting.
were the overheads in cardioid or figure 8?
I would bet cardioid
Drums of "Let It Happen" by Tame Impala would be incredible and make all us fan boys go nuts
Honestly Kevin's drum sound in general would be amazing. It's pretty consistent across the last couple albums. There is definitely some big compression magic happening, he's got it down whatever it is.
@@tylersmith3979 I think he uses a hybrid of acoustic and electronic drums. But to see these two get even 75% close to his Currents era drum sound would be killer. I’d settle for Innerspeaker/Lonerism era drums even
They've done a Tame Impala episode. I didn't think their result was super close but it's in the ballpark for sure.
The snare on the record has a lot more length to it and the drums overall are far more roomier than this.
This is black keys car commercial drum sound taken to the extreme. Sounds cool at first, but very cliche and fatiguing in long run.
Drums,need air to sound good.Covered drums don't sound good.Guess the sound guy needs to keep his job,by convincing the artists,this is the way to go.
Tell that to the Beatles and the Eagles…they never sold any records, did they? 🙄
That's just like, your opinion, man
