Any chance of an wav or mp3 of these drums?
Am I the only one who could listen to good mixed drum loops for days?
No, it's a great sound. I dig it, too.
It's the heart of a great mix,I wish more people realised this fact !
There are another 17 like you.
Brother? 😳
good drummer, well mic'd, nice playing and solid groove
How can someone not love Tchad Blake?
Pure drummer ASMR. This is insanely pleasing to listen to.
A fav MWTM episode.
4 year later this is still my fav drum mix video on youtube. Love it!
The "Fat and Pillowy" struck me by surprise. It's my new go-to word for the dope situations.
I love how a repetitive, straight beat, basically, can just go n go and yet it almost sounds like a solo because of the little flares put into each measure.... 👏🏻
And such a great mixer...👏🏻
I've been listening to this man's work my whole life and this is the first time I've ever seen what he looks like
dope drum sound, interesting how production suits different styles, this is a great example
I'm glad I heard this because I'm about to mix my drums and this is very inspiring. Thank you
Lovely. More of these ”Record with the Masters”. Especially useful to go hand in hand with the mixing engineer tutorials to see how the tracking was done as well.
Love Tchad Blake
That's Billy Bob Thornton, there is no Tchad Blake
Those natural drums with the bus compression (at least it appears so, unless the OHs were tracked with compression), unf that is a nice sound! I love that dry somewhat 70's influenced drum sound.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and “know how” with others.
Love this guy, his style is kind of "cool librarian."
+ 1. I could also see him spending at lot of time in sheds tinkering with mysterious things...
@@bassplayinggoalie”what’s he building in there?!”
To the 5 people who disliked this video so far, and to whoever will do it in the future, it's okay, Jesus died for sinners like you. This is absolute gold.
all that money in gear and he makes it sound like trashy distorted crap. and fictional characters don't die for anyone.
@@billb7735 you need more sun in your life buddy
This comment is still gold 2 years later
Still gold 6-years later! 😆
This Neve 88 R 72 channels version is amazing !
"You know anything you can overdrive. There's probably compressors out there that I never heard of that you could use. You know you could probably use a stomp pedal, a guitar pedal, and try that out."
god damn these drums sound great ...
Tchad is great. Just check prices on the Specta Sonics compressors he talked about -- better about at least $1300 for one.
Such a USEFUL video. Thank you!
This guy produced Pearl Jam’s binaural. What an awesome album!
I completely agree. It definitely doesn't get the love it deserves. He also did El oso from Soul Coughing. The sans amp trick is definitely used on that album
You just made me want to go listen to this album
I know that it's gonna sound childish what I'm going to say, but I want to become as good producer/sound engineer as this man.
Dedication, study and a solid understanding of fundamentals will get you there. Anyone can do anything if they're willing to apply themselves :)
Me too
LOL Don't we ALL!
Tchad Blake is awesome
9:16 for awesomeness
I love listening to him honestly gifted man
This guy is something else! Wow.
TChad is possibly the coolest cat on the planet.
An absolute genius and serious innovator.
What are his innovations?
why does the background look green screened
What is bone?
How useful, watching someone just trying stuff out on a console, moving faders, getting to know the track so he can balance. Great!
5:11 When the Crunchy Snare came up this got Juicy.
Those cymbals are so musical. Anybody know what they are?
Sam Choate they sound like 60s/70s zildjian A’s to me. kinda bright but complex and interesting in a mix
@@shayleeband yeah agree. That would be my guess too.
Beautiful!
"Flate" Sound?? Sorry guys, or am I missing something here...
Do you by any means mean "Flat sound"?
there is little depth aka spatial imaging
Awesome video!
What a legend
This Inspired Me🇹🇹🙏🏾
So so helpful. Thank you.
Absolutely S T U N N I N G
So when you are dialing in the drum sound ... should the drums be played by the drummer who will actually be laying down the track? I find that in live situations our drummer wants to go out front to help dial in his sound ... but whoever is sitting behind the kit has a different feel/touch. Feedback appreciated. Thx.
definitely use the drummer that will play on the track for the whole process bar maybe line checking the signals
is that whole console desk a plugin?
What's the BONE ?
maybe 'dick mic'?
Hi Dean, the 'Bone mic' is a mono mic strategically placed and heavily processed with some kind of distortion (level-or in this case). Tchad talks about this in the teaser of this series that you can access here: ua-cam.com/video/iydywva4Bkg/v-deo.html
very similar to moses schneider's wurst mic. check this out ua-cam.com/video/__Bh3D_Pvt8/v-deo.html
Looks like a mic running over the kick, on the kick/snare line, then running through a Shure Level-Loc ... which is what the SoundToys "Devil-Loc" is modelled off.
What a great story at the end :)
Does anyone know what he says at 2:56 regarding how he pans the channels and which ones?
A living legend for sure!!!!!!!
Very inspiring
I love the flate soind
AEA overhreads seem mislabeled or patched backwards? ua-cam.com/video/CuuCRDo46FM/v-deo.html "Hi Hat" side is on the left in the audio, but panned right on the console..
I love this man!
Great to see Billy Bob Thornton branching out.
The funny thing is Billy Bob actually owns a really sweet studio(the actual Billy Bob).
Overheads are perfection
Excellent.
Who's the drummer?
Sounds like Matt Chamberlain
love this crazy guy
Too much distortion from the Sansamp ruins it. Everything from the “flate” sound on is better than the first sound. It might be interesting to just tweak that in with some sidechain or gate set-up where the distortion only kicks in at certain dynamics.
"I dunno... I like compressors."
I died when I saw the sans amp lmao

@@theTBwearsducktape fantastic link brother👌 Thank you
Which mixing console use there.....?
@Score Mix thanks
anyone know what SansAmp that is?
I'm pretty sure it's the Tech 21 SansAmp GT2 Tube Amp Emulator Pedal
i love this guy so bad
sweet!!!
I like these drums, I don't get a similar sound but very good in my private home set up.
What a console !!
Legend!!
what is "BONE"
Aka "Kit Mic", capturing the sound of the drum shells right above the kickdrum
@@TransistorLSD oh cool i guess i have a bone too as my 5th drum mic in a glyn johns setup. didnt know people called it that
i like putting transient shapers on the drums
just cant get enough from it... such NASTY sound .
GOD DAMN! THIS IS DOPE! I FEEL LIKE SMACKING SOMEBODY! LOL!
Sounds like a good ball park
What makes me laugh is the AI Mastering Programs. Nothing beats a Real True Professional
yeah nothing beats that but not everyone can afford a professional
Good.
Sans amp... Intriguing.
I have a series one.
pffff phatnesss, someone who knows a REAL mix
Flate?...lol
If I tried any of these drum sounds with the client I would get some very weird looks!
Good sounds, but selling it to the band is really hard
Could see nothing
Ask Him to Hook up With Black Lion Audio to bring back the Spectra Sonics compressor.
The original company still makes them, they’re now called Spectra 1964.
Cold getting dumb on the drums ..
flate
And here we are, sitting in our rooms thinking "those are some crappy sounds" but wishing it was us that put hands on that console
those most definitely are not "crappy sounds"
FLATE
meh
This should have been called "How to make a drum kit sound like a distorted pile of crap".
“Distorted pile of crap” is the best drum sound!
For 60 years analog gear was distorting audio routinely, now we are in the digital realm we just have to go out of our way to distort it. How it sits in the mix is the only thing that matters.
speaking of sounds: his nasal sound artifacts...
nothing sounded good, i have no clue what was going on or why..lol
He doesn't mix music for normies.
Mike Sparks
when a mixer/artist has heard too many years of basic sounds, and must reach and strive for "different" in order to entertain themselves, and keep things still interesting to themselves, you end up with these types of sounds.
hence why you don't just blindly choose a so called seasoned pro to work with you always-
it's better to find someone who likes more similar things as you.
Yes, you don't have a clue
Think of mixing like the last 10% or so of what goes into a produced song to try and finish it... And he's probably just going through an overview of how he mixed the drums to a particular production so think of this like a 1% of the 10% of the song. In the end, it's just one of the little steps taken to end up with something good.
Oh, and each drum is recorded to a different channel so he can add effects and put them through compressors and balance them and a lot of other things(or maybe not) to achieve a certain feel to them. And after this he and his team go through some similar and other different processes for say the guitars then the piano then other instruments then the vocals (lead, supporting vocals, background vocals, doubled up vocals e.t.c) then in the end they bring them all together and balance them and make the song 'loud'...
I'm still just introducing myself to the world of production and mixing so I have no authoritative grasp yet but this is from my little understanding of what I have picked up so far...
i luv drums sounds
