I don’t understand how he gets his drums to sound like that, his kicks are so punchy like 909’s. I can’t even imagine what the effect chain is or mic placement/ selection whatever I want the secret. They sound like the most artificial discoey drums possible on an acoustic set it’s an amazing sound.
If you watch his interviews on the dead wax channel he talks about this a bit, 18/20" kick drums with the batter head tuned medium-low and some of the lugs then loosened all the way, and reso head detuned all the way, plus ozone hard/brick wall limiting when mixing. If you watch at the start when he first starts playing and it's a back view, the batter head looks super loose (might be just an effect of the camera tho)
I'm a very short and ugly guy. Becoming cool made very little change in my social life. "Stop caring" and "be real cool" are contradictory. Being cool is really pleasing people. I could stay forever in the cycle of "people don't like me cause I'm not cool enough, I need to become more cool" but I chose to actually embrace the "stop caring" part. I don't really care about social interaction anymore. I focus only on making my life better. If I knew this from the beginning I could have been rich and maybe cure cancer by now. Anyway, thanks for trying, 6'4 handsome guy. Your music is great.
Louis Cole and Knower are fking GODS This was an amazing song and performance! Kudos to these nasty musicians keeping REAL music alive amongst all the top-40 sewage in 2024.
