Sign in to disble this ad
What is the best recorded kick drum sound you can think of? One that really defines kick drum.
For example, one I really like is on "Iron Man," off of Black Sabbath's Paranoid album.
I'm not saying it's the ONE; I'm just saying it's a really nice, natural sounding thump.
Let's hear some favorites. I'm trying to define a nice, pounding, organic sound, and you can help!

I'm in the middle I think the snappy is great fro more of a rock music and the thud more for pop/jazz music |

But it's Blind Guardian's former drummer Thomen Stauch that probably had my favorite kick drum sound on their live albums. Sadly, I can't seem to find anything on Youtube, but their 2003 "Live" album is incredibly tasty (in addition to being stupidly awesome in every other regard).

JP Gaster (Clutch) - uses Gretcsh/GMS with Evans heads - single pedal
Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) - Sonor w/ Powerstroke 3's - double pedal
Both are killer, but I could groove to JP's drumming all day long...he's also killer live.
