    Since day one in 1983 Tico Torres has been the drummer for the American rock band Bon Jovi. With hits like You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, Bad Medicine or It's My Life, they wrote rock music history and became one of the best selling bands ever. But what is the secret behind Tico's drum sound? We grabbed a modern kit, some cymbals and a pair of drumming gloves and tried to get as close as possible to the original drum sound.

    Tico Torres is massively underrated. The guy has a great groove and perfect rock chops that very few people mention. His work on Blood on Blood and Wild in the Streets is awesome.

    My very first Drum hero. I still remember watching their live concert in london thru dvd when I was 11. And these guys are absolutely awesome. And Tico inspired me to play drumset even though I dont have one. Now I've been in a Band for 6 years and still. Tico is my Favorite drum hero.... Yet I still dont havemy own Drumset

      If you listen closely you can hear that the snare is actually a very big sound. It's beefy it's fat it has a lot of crack. It fills up a lot of space in the song.

      Actually, they're practical in Tico's case. You can see in the Livin On A Prayer music video that he didn't use gloves or special drum sticks at that point. It was at some point during the New Jersey Syndicate tour that he ended up with carpal tunnel syndrome if I remember correctly. He ended up finding a type of drum sticks at that point that minimized the effect carpal tunnel syndrome so he could keep playing. The gloves may have also played a part in that too. I'm not too sure because I haven't seen that many concerts from the 80's. He has used them since the 90's though and they do look bad ass.

Been a lowkey subscriber here for a while and you guys have been teaching me a lot ever since i discover you guys. Please do keep it up!
    I do have a request tho. Can you guys make a remake of the drum sound of My Chemical Romance on their Welcome To The Black Parade album? The drums on the album sounds so amazing! Hoping you guys could take this one soon.

    Would love to see a mix breakdown. I think you got pretty dang close. I think the decay of the gated verb is a bit too short, but made sense in order to get the initial spike and predelay on the verb right. Usually for this sound I would either increase decay of the gated verb or stack it with a plate or a long decay studio verb mixed at a lower volume than the gated verb. Props for keeping the gated verb flag flying it is not as common these days.

    @moritzmark3418 2 роки тому +1

    Really well done. But I think when it comes down to Tico's really original sound, you should play two crashes at once in the intro part. And I think, especially for this song, the floor toms would have been enough. :-D
    In my teen age, I copied Tico's cymbal setup with Paiste Alpha cymbals and I was able to play almost every song of Bon Jovi. I really digged into the cymbals back then and played mostly the power models. Today I prefer more thinner cymbals and also smaller setups.
