Pre-Zep: drums sounded like drums, and were mixed together with the other instruments.
Post-Zep: everyone gets a hard-on over "how huge the drums sound, dude". And if you like drums that sound like cannons and are mixed loud enough to supplant just about everything else.
Rantings of a bitter bass player? Perhaps. That doesn't make me wrong.

I seem to recall a few months back...
Maybe it was a year or so...
That there was a big discussion on how drums are no longer as present in modern recordings as they used to be.
So does this mean they have reverted back to what they used to sound like?
Or is it that they're way too big, but just way too quiet?

I think Rock and Roll is a youth-oriented art form that is 50 years old and therefore no longer applies to itself. If it's ruined, it's about damn time.

Well, according to a previous thread... it was Billy Joel's faux scream befor the lame sax solo in "Still Rock N' Roll To Me" or whatever... I agree thoug... big awesome drums do suck and edge out the bass player. We should mix the guitars tuned down to drop C and squashed to hell instead to carve out a place for the poor bass player. Opinions are like... well, you know.Grady wrote:I thought the locking floyd rose tremolo system ruined rock and roll? hmmm.

We have a pool... and a pond. Pond's good for you though.
