drum sound question

Post by kilowogster » Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:34 pm

hey folks,

i'm still pretty much a novice at production techniques and drums / percussion in general is definitely my weakest point. anways, i've noticed a neat drum processing sound in a couple songs and I'm curious if anyone knows how it was done. i'm thinking this is probably a drum machine sample or something, but I really don't know.

anyway, point of reference: sailing by night by Department of Eagles. anyone have an clues on this?

hmmm, i think part of what i'm asking about is how the drums sound kinda sample-y, sorta lo fi to some degree. maybe there's a bit of hiss there? then the rolls or whatever that come in at around 2:10... just curious how one would go about doing that sort of thing in ableton with the drum racks and then the pertinent effects...
