Easily my favorite sounding drums (And favorite sounding album) of modern times. I love how big and heavy they are, yet they don't get in the way of those scooped to hell guitars.
this drum has at least 60 channels, only for choosing of natural reverb of the room (by the way, was a bigger hangar). Bob Rock puts mic per feet. There are subwoofers with low tones playing at the same time than the bass drum, to make bigger that bass drum. The production of this album was historic. Sorry for my bad english.
You know this is a good drum track because it highlights the song and the different parts of the song perfectly. You know exactly where you are in the song without needing to hear the vocals or other instruments.
the black album was recorded with Gretsch toms with remo pinestripe heads large size drums, his red tama superstar kick drums and old tama bell brass 14x8 in the giant wood floor and wood panel open room at One on One studio with loads of EQ and room mics and reverb
birch drummer Must just be the 61/2 by14 then that just looks huge like an 8x14 ...have to remember Lars is little so sitting next to him a smaller drum would look large I guess
Nice that at least one person in the world knows that black album was recorded on Gertsch Drums and not ON TAMA !!! all of these metallica fans thinks its tama artstar but they know shit abou metallica details. Nice that you know that, i respect that a lot.
It's not a guide vocal. When Lars was recording drums, the whole band played with him in the same room (including James singing) to get a better feel for the track. James' voice is going into the room/drum mics.
Thanks for putting this up..I teach on Drums..Bass and Guitar..wanted a good drum track to jam to..why are people so negative on here? its not over compressed..you can still here James'vocals in the background when you isolate tracks you get the ECHO..the real studio vibe..but if you have recorded in a real studio you would know that..I have.. they cut all that out when Mix and Master the final product you don't hear this same drum sound on the final mix no matter how great you are or be one of the greatest Bands of all time people are so bitter and angry.. its not over compressed its called..Metallica finally being PRODUCED by a real PRODUCER..Bob Rock.. these are great songs on this album..my fave Met album will always be Master of Puppets..songs wise anyways.. to still sound this good and play this good..try sitting down and playing their riffs of any album..then you will appreciate them much more as my students have its called good producing folks.. now endeth the lesson grasshopper!!!! and yes that is me with one of my heroes Zakk Wylde but that's another story Niki B Lee
Oh ya, that's why I hate people in youtube who comment as if Lars isn't contributing to Metallica. Just because he stopped using double bass/pedal, they think that he's that overly unskilled drummer in a well known band. He is obviously just trying to fit the song with cleaner sound. And Metallica is well known because of every members' part on the songs that they make.
They simply don't know Music..or the real Metallica..Lars is the Brains of Metallica..the Band admits it..and he still uses double bass for the classics seen them live many times and played tunes on drums and guitar..trying doing what he does night after night..those people are not real Met fans..he's respected around the Music World and Business World..he does all the contracts and publishing sharing and rights to songs..he brought a whole new dimension to drumming..anybody who doesn't know that is not a real Met fan..he's one of the best drummers of all time..they tour non stop his conditioning..keeping in shape..Metallica never sounded better..!!!! those people don't have to like Metallica but you have to respect what they have done..and what are those "people" doing..sitting around judging success? real smart and doing nothing with their lives..I play I teach on all 3 instruments Im going for my dream..no matter what you do..can;t please everybody and you shouldn't strive to try..never happen..play the Music you love the rest will take care of itself..RnR Baby Niki B..!!!!

@Shallex I dont know, I saw a cover of enter sandman on Instagram but the drum kit sounded horrible so I had to cleanse my mind with the actual drum track lmao
Hi, Some ridiculous conversations going on below. In those days yes they had reverb, very good reverb, rack units etc, it wasn't the semi-dark ages with loops of tape. In 1991 there were some awesome digital reverb and delay units, just not on PC. It wasn't computerised but you'd run it through effects loops. Real ones, not virtualised loops, that's where the term came from. Secondly, I'm pretty sure how this was recorded could be looked up once and for all if you REALLY cared. I'm more of a guitarist and remember reading about the mics/tents etc the guitarists they used to use, I'm guessing drums were also covered in similar magazines. Thirdly as to hearing james. Well you do. Maybe they recorded it live, not sure at all. Did they record live? Was it headphone/monitor leak. Or even channel leak. Pre digital recording you could sometimes get very low levels from one channel to the other, off the tape, depending on heads allignment. Remember: It was literally a stream of tape with some little metal cores hanging over it tightly spaced. If it was at a very low level and in sync, who cared.
This is obviously the raw mix with strange choices just like the kick on the left and the snare on the right. But the performance is impressive anyway.
Is the reverb additional on is this the original drum track taken from the final master mix? I'm trying to A/B against the original and apart from the panned left kick/panned right snare I can't work out it.......
Saw the track sheets in one of their documentaries. It was pretty clear they used a drum sample for the snare too. It also gets confusing when some account for what snare Lars used. Some say it was a Tama Bell brass, others say it was a Gretsch. This isolated recording shows it is pretty hybrid.
You welcome ! This video is self added, the drum track is downloaded from network. If you need sometimes some drum track you can contact with me. And if I have the drum track or if i can make it , i will tell you!. Greetings from Estonia :)!
.....and yet for a piece of shit he's sooo much richer and more well known than you are :-D but here you are, still watching Metallica videos and acting like a baby calling their drummer shit....such a child :-D
First of all comparing Lars to drummers like Gene Hoglan, Richard Christy, Gar Samuelson and Nick Menza is probably the most unfair comparison ever made. Second of all Lars makes up for in creativity what he lacks in skill, Lara’s drumming isn’t always tight and perfect he’ll he can be down right fucking terrible live but if you here his drumming you instantly know two things; Thing 1, it’s a Metallica song and Thing 2, Lars is the drummer, he has a style so instantly recognisable that it’s unlike any other drummer. Lara’s style is simple yet effective and bears many small nuances that make it unique such as beginning fills half way through a bar, tracking the drums to the guitars instead of the bass, accenting riffs with the toms (see dyers eve, for whom the bell tolls, creeping Death etc), crashing on the second beat of a bar instead of the first, switching between half time and full time in the middle of a song (see wherever I may roam, seek and destroy, enter sandman), that kick pattern (also known as the Lars beat) and simplifying parts on slower songs to drive the song on in a more effective way (see every Metallica ballad ever), Lars’s style is simple but extremely effective and yet still manages to be unique on its own, Lars may not be the best drummer ever but he can drum the arses off of most people and that’s what makes him a good drummer. Second thing is that Napster was never about greed or money, of that was the case then why are Metallica songs available for free all over RU-vid and can be downloaded on music streaming services? Napster was never about the money it was because some cunt released an unfinished song, I completely agree that Metallica mishandled the situation but it was never about the money it was about who’s choice it is to release music and Napster never had the choice to release unfinished material. Third of all if Lars was such a cunt then why have fans that have met him in person say the complete opposite?
Well, when i listened to the studio version i took my metronome, and 123bpm was not a match at all. Then when i continued to try various tempos the only match was for me 127bpm.
You´ll never find the real BPM cause Metallica did not played in time ever, that´s why they sound so wild and human in their prime, now they do play in time and use metronomes, but not back in the time. BTW this was done by Metallica cause "fuck it, spend a million in roduction but BPM´s are for loosers lol" (OK Probably they never said it but that´s the feel and it works), but other bands have done the same, must notably Iron Maiden who did practice with metronomes but they turned them off for recording having a effect similar to that later achived to Metallica
Well "For whom the bell tolls" is recorded to a click track says Flemming Rasmussen in this article. www.blabbermouth.net/news/early-metallica-producer-flemming-rasmussen-talks-to-rockhall-com-about-ride-the-lightning-recording-process/ .....And the talk about programming tempos in "A year and a half" so they have been recording to a click track for some time. The it is often that the verse, chorus, bridge and so on have different bpm. Main riff can be like 124 the vers in 121 then chorus in 127 just to get the song pushing and pulling.
I don't understand the criticism of this being easy meaning it's bad? Sure it's simple but at the end of the day you just play what sounds good right?! Idk
This literally sounds like like Lars is punching my left ear and snapping out my right. I don’t think in the only one that’s noticed this. The stereo mix is very much throwing off my OCD especially Kick and Snare. They should be centered then everything else should be panned properly for a drum set.
Thank you very much for this video, it's very usefull to me. Had you make this video for your own? It's great! If sometime I needed a drum track; Would you make me one for me? I'll be very pleased. Thank you again. Kisses from Argentina
Yes! This is real panning. This whole recording is taken from actual studio session. You can even hear James vocals and sometimes Bass and Guitars in the background.
Angelo Morgan youtubedownloader.com/ It's a free download with no viruses. I've tried this program many times. You can even download the audio only as an mp3 file.
Thank you for your prompt answer. If I found another song, I'll keep this in my mind. Thank you again, and feel free for ask me whatever you want whenever you need. Greetings.and my best wishes from Argentina :)
About the click...the did cut and paste and to do that without a click is almost impossible to to do nicly. The have recorded all the albums with click becouse the punch in/out drums a lot.
Yep. A click is used 90% of the time because recording standards have to be met so everything has to be perfect otherwise everything will sound fucked up on the album. The only time a click won't be used is if the song is going from slow to fast or vice versa, such as the mid section of At Dawn They Sleep by Slayer, or if the song is composed to have a free time section such as the ending to Sanitarium or the introduction to Hit the Lights. Then those sections will be recorded without a click but the rest of the song will be recorded with the click.
The worst tom sound on any Metallica album. Every one has a similar thud with very little difference in the drum note instead of the musical boom on the tom sound on Master of Puppets
Hate? what a strong word..you can't be a Musician Who do you think arranges all the Met songs..? puts things in order to sound as amazing as they do The original riff is a quite different Lars idea to make it sound the way it does when Kirk first came up with it.. Lars puts things where they belong and sound as good as they do.. He is the composer..the BRAINS of the Band and so underrated on Drums!!!! giff steve
WHEN METALLICA SOLD out , One of the first things to SUCK was the drumming when a band goes J Pop and tries to become Nickelback ,.. as they concern about sounding "too technical" for their new audience of Aligator shirt wearing yuppies at their concerts, LOL
