Creedence snare sound?

Anyone know how to get that phat creedence snare sound?
I'm thinkin' "lookin out my back door."

I think it's a brush hit very hard..., and it sounds slightly roomy....but not really. I don't know too much about drum tuning, but I suspect that's a big factor.

edit: here's a clue maybe....not studio footage, but still might help.

Ha!

I just heard some Creedence, mebbe "Born on the Bayou", on FM the other day and was wondering if there were brushes going on ...

I'd have to listen closely to that tune, but I suppose it could be brushes. It could also be distortion, just from what my memory of that tune is like. I'm pretty sure Doug Clifford played either Ludwigs or Rogers, with a not-so-tight snare drum.

Actually, I just realized I was kind of responding to the "Born On The Bayou" comment, but I'm 99% sure that "Lookin' Out My Back Door" is brushes.

I think I remember that, back in the day, the Credence drummer was endorsing & playing an all metal Premier kit......maby, its just what I think I remember hearing drummers saying at the time & I'm a guitar player, so I could have it all wrong...just because he was playing it live, doesn't necessarily mean that he was recording with them.

John Fogerty played drums on a lot of the songs but I'm not sure which ones. He actually played all the instruments on some songs, too, because he was a control freak.

Actually, it appears that Doug Clifford was an official Camco endorser.

He did have a valid reason for being a control freak. I've never heard the last CCR album, but my understanding is that the other band members wanted to write songs, too, so Fogerty let them split songwriting duties on the album as an experiment. It apparently flat-out sucked and Fogerty was all like "I told you so, bitches."

i'm sorry if this is something that will go without saying, but here we go...

i don't know if all brushes are like this, but mine retract for transport. and if you only retract them part way, like only leave a couple inches of brush exposed, it can give you a tighter hit.

that kinda looks like the case if that video is really any indication. just a thought!
