Brad's the man. I love the drums on Obscene Majesty. Thuddy and super dark but with a punch too. Pretty vintage, which works well for his style of playing and avoids the pingpong ring snare some BDM has. I like that sound too but it's perhaps less unique for this genre.
i'm a little surprised to hear he likes heavier sounding drums cuz the snare drum on the "molesting the decapitated" album would seem to indicate otherwise to say the least haha. i assume he doesn't use triggers?
If you listen to the snare on our most recent album 'Obscene Majesty' the drums are quite heavy. MTD was my approach 20+ years ago with a piccolo snare which were popular in the 90s. Although I use a 6x14 now I have it cranked but not to insane levels. I don't use triggers on the album but I do use triggers on the kicks live since about 2017 but even with my triggers I use a very thuddy, heavy sample and not a clicky one like many death metal drummers.
@@matrixv01 wasn’t expecting that lol. Hello there. 👋 Yes, the snare sound I agree was much heavier on Obscene Majesty and I hope that will continue to be the case on future Devourment releases and I feel better assured now after hearing what you said. Unfortunately I wish I can say the same for other slam & brutal death metal acts because that piccolo snare sound you were referring to from the 90s believe me when I say is prevalent even today. One of the most clear cut offenders of it is the band Epicardiectomy. Watch the drummers’ most recent live play throughs just to see how small and thin his snare is. I just find it so strange that many bands cuz go for such a snare sound cuz you would think if you’re trying to make the most nasty brutal sounding music, a soft tapping snare sound more suitable for a radio Disney song would be counterintuitive to say the least haha.
@@JayRamahi3810 I completely agree and get a lot of the blame for modern "slam" bands using ridiculously high piccolo snares, brees, and other stereotypes of the genre which most of us in Devourment dislike today. We don't use drum sample replacement, drum editing/quantizing either which is prevalent today. Trying to keep things organic and evolve slam/brutal death metal.
@@matrixv01 dude you're an absolute god on drums obscene majesty is the craziest most unique slam /BDM drumming I have ever heard in my life. I can only get into like 4-5 slam bands cuz most of them just sound the same and have endless chugging and aren't unique at all and just sounds streamlined. You guys have stayed unique and creative for over 30 years. Obscene majesty is probably the heaviest slam album that will ever be released. You guys aren't just mindless chugging. You have the fast riffs, grooves, crazy deep vocals that aren't crazy over the top, amazing blast beats, crazy blast beat riffs, all around the most unique drumming I've heard in metal in general, God tier slams, sporadic riffs that are so fast you can't even tell wtf is going on and to top it off the pure musicianship when you guys play with all the different dynamics and I fuckin love ALL of it. You guys are the most unique and heaviest death metal band that has ever existed! Sorry for fanboying!
