- Few albums have as singular of a drum sound as Questlove's performances on D'Angelo neo-soul magnum opus 'Voodoo'. Watch Noam & Jessica replicate the airtight, vibey drums on the track 'The Line'. How close did they get?

Slowly realizing that they key to every drum sound is a Ludwig vista lite kick filled with everything on your couch
This is correct! :)
I’ve legit been doing just that for a couple years now and just can’t stop lololol
Lmao deadass, every drum sound I've ever loved seems to have been done with a Ludwig kick with an entire bedspread stuffed inside lol
Or Sonor kick
the most wanted drum sound ! great work!
Greatest recording of all time
Agree!
Once again, I love this format. Techniques explained and shown in action in a really cool way. Thank you Reverb for supporting Jessica and Noam!!
The snare drum in this video is played wrong. Questlove used what was called the "mother-son" style of playing drums on most of the album which was inspired by "Mother's Son" by Curtis Mayfield. The drummer on that song played the drum by hitting the edge of the snare and rim at the same time. If you listen to "The Line" and "The Root" and most of the songs on the album, that's how the snare was played. On the Mayfield song you can hear it around the 1:28 mark.
This is a wonderful correction-thank you for sharing your knowledge.
They were recreating the sound, which I think I they did. There’s no wrong way to play the snare.
Right On!!!
The exact songs mentioned here were programmed by D’Angelo via the ASR-10. However the Questlove drum sounds were sampled and used
@@artdelfinodrums1239 Go to 10:49 - And then apologise to op here.
This is absolutely brilliant! Probably a good thing to note here…. Questloves sig sticks are basically extra long pencils 😂
I don't know what's better, these videos or the fact that I have an ever-growing collection of awesome drum samples. Well done!
That rimshot delay trick was a gem thanks lol
would love a video on some old jazz drum recordings; some thing like tony williams on turn it over, or miles davis’s four & more
I'd be dying for a breakdown of the drum sound of Gang of Four's "Damaged Goods". Absolutely brilliant drum sound, especially in the breakdown.
This is a fantastic request
YES ! the middle section where it just goes to the drum mix is so sick
I think these drums are so good they may be beyond what this channel can achieve, no goading intended…😊
Thank you guys so much for making the sounds downloadable! I love messing around with the drum sounds after you publish them
i shouldn't reveal russes secrets but that's not how he did it. a few pointers: don't filter out low end on overheads. use neve eq's. use rca style ribbon mics. snare mic positon-parallel to the top head near the rim. vari mu compression!!! (parallel)
also "room mic" is not in front of the kick
This!!!
This is fantastic! It's a pleasure to have found this video. Thank you guys!
Damn that kick is awesome
sounds great
Reverb doing God's work 🙏

An interview I read with Steven he talked about how as he was transitioning away from the main drummer role he just recorded a ton of loops and samples and was designing beats in the DAW. So some tracks the drum parts are combining things he played ages ago. But this song definitely sounds squashed and dirtied up with a huge room sound on the chorus. They talk about it a bit here. czcams.com/video/widmy3lqT_w/video.html
The producer Dave Fridmann I know for a time was using the Art Pro VLA II on sub bus.
There is a podcast on Spotify called Headphaser that goes through what went into making Voodoo…absolutely wild album
one of my favourite albums - i have probably heard this album through over 10 times, and if you played me your final result back to back with the original recording, i don't know if i'd be able to tell the difference between the two - holy smokes.
YES MY SUGGESTION
Actually showing the settings on the EQ’s and Compressors would’ve been cool too
7:34 was a great tip
Fiona Apple - "Fast As You Can"
Jellyfish - "The King Is Half Undressed"
Sly & the Family Stone - "In Time"
Tones On Tail - "Happiness"
Meshell Ndegeocello - "God Fear Money"
Q-Tip - "Breathe and Stop"
Prince - "Dance On"
The Meters - "Just Kissed My Baby"
Rickie Lee Jones - "Chuck E's In Love"
Terence Trent D'Arby - "Dance Little Sister"
Great choices
Amazing. Could you guys do the drums from 'Who No Know Go Know' by Fela Kuti?
The brown album - Primus.
There are a lot of videos straight from Russells mouth about what mics, where, etc! Hope you nailed it.
I absolutely love this entire series but would love to see some of these recreated sounds but on a normal home-studio budget. I know it'll never sound quite as good but I watch every tutorial and do wonder what you could do with more mics in the SM57 budget range that probably most of us can afford here!
Can we get Fleetwood Mac's Rumours drum sound!! I neeeeed to know how they did it!

Imagine playing this whole album live. Only with pencils 😂😂😂😂
Great video and thanks for the samples. How about the drum sound from 'Talk Talk's, Sprit of Eden' record, which was engineered by Phil Brown?
Noice
I think this is the most faithful recreation you guys ever made.
what good saturation plugins are there out there?
bro the file format on the download 😂
Would love to see a video on the Alabama Shakes drum sound from sound and color 🙏
Seconded
Especially on the track Guess Who
"...So for our drums today we're using a Ludwig Vistalite kick drum..."
Right? Lucky for me I have one and can simulate most any drum sound apparently
The old black gretsch is a keeper too :)
Sample pack does not work when downloaded. Please update us when that is fixed!
renaming the file, adding .zip at the end worked for me
THE FILES ARE BROKEN AND IN AN UNKNOWN FORMAT. ALL OF THE SAMPLE PACKS ARE LIKE THIS. PLS FIX
Great work! But I don't really think that the drums on "The Line" are in mono... Anyway, thanks for this video!
could it be that they used a normal stick for hats but filtered the hell outta them for this sound??
Links not working :(
Stewart Copeland during the Hugh. Padgham era...
You guys have the best job in the world

Hip hop drum master class 😮
Snare sounds flammed not rimmed
Using the reverb to recreate the sound of the sidestick flam was impressive

...and play drunker! :)
you know theres a mix with the masters video with russel elevado talking about mixing this record...
Wonder if you can debunk the myth of how Joy Division’s drums were recorded on (I believe) was the track “She’s Lost Control”. Did they really have to do it one piece of the kit at a time to cut out any bleed over (or even put the drums on the roof?) Or was it something else. Also I’m pretty sure the “snare” is a spray can.
I'm just always surprised to see a successful artist playing Minarik. Guitarists are always familiar with them but most other people haven't heard of them.
I just listened to the original. Something about that stick sound that feels so uncomfortable to me. It actually makes me not want to hear the track, which is a shame because the other ideas feel cool. So I was surprised to see this might be a reference people would chase after. Different strokes and all that, but it instantly stuck out as weird to me. A bit lower in the mix and I might not have felt that way. I dunno.
Is this a parody?
exactly, the drums are not in the same ball park at all
it does not sound that similar imo, the rimshot and kick are not hitting like they should
Love that so many of these videos are made with absolute junk drums. Any kick, snare, of cymbal you can find in the dumpster... add duck tape and blankets liberally, and then use EXPENSIVE overhead or room mics and outboard gear. I am not being disparaging here. It's often the truth about recording things...
Of course you could just use the tip of your drum stick. 🤷♂️
Wow this is really nice 😮 would be sick if you did a budget version 😅 haha
R u mine? By arctic monkeys would be incredible to do!!
