This should be a fun thread. Name some albums with your favorite drum sounds.
Here's a few of mine, in no particular order:
1. Burning for Buddy - track 2, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy - Weckl- They just have a wonderful openess to them, i love this track.
2. Karizma - Document- Vinnie- He sounds incredible on this album. It was recorded live, but the drums have a studio quality sound. They have great attack, but still a nice mellowness to them. I gues Warmth is the word i'm loooking for. His cymbals also sound really nice. But pay attention to that snare sound, it's just darned nice!!
3. Stanton Moore - All Kooked Out(also all of the Galactic albums)- I love his snare sound, it has a nice almost wetness to it! But he also has really nice sounding toms. I especially like his "parade style" bass drum. Great cymbals too.
4 Vital Information-Where We Come From- Steve Smith has a lot of different sounds on this albums, but they all sound wonderful. For some reason his toms have a really distinct sound to me. I really dig them
5. Tool-Aenima-Danny Carey: the drums just sound downright incredible!

Say what you will about the band itself, but in my mind there's never been a better drum sound captured on tape than Primus' "Sailing the Seas of Cheese." A beautiful open sound, nice tight snare, and perfect use of EQ/comp/FX.
Runners up for me are Jellyfish's "Spilt Milk" (huge), Smashing Pumpkins' "Gish" (open and ringy), Tool's "Aenema" (perfect tuning), Counting Crows "August..." (just really nice), and Tori Amos' "From the Choirgirl Hotel" (nice EQ and presence).
I like WIDE OPEN drum sounds that also smack you in the face.

In no particular order:
Peter Erskine - Andy Summers Green Chimneys
Jack DeJohnette - Keith Jarrett Trio Still Live, Pat Metheny 80/81
Paul Wertico - Pat Metheny Group Imaginary Day (esp. the snare drum on the track "Follow Me")
Bill Bruford - basically everything I've heard from him
Steve Jordan - basically everything I've heard as well ("Best Backbeat, EVER!"), but esp. Don Grolnick Hearts And Numbers
(Honorable mention: Stewart Copeland's snare drum, basically anything with The Police.)
For cymbal sounds, I'm diggin' Wertico and DeJohnette.

This should be a fun thread. Name some albums with your favorite drum sounds.
In no particular order: - Vinnie Colaiuta, w/Jimmy Haslip and Robben Ford, Jing Chi: If you haven't heard this yet, don't wait another minute! The drum sound is to die for. The new A Customs are a major improvement over his old cymbal sound, which I never did care for. - Steve Gadd, The Gadd Gang: Maybe the best recording of his distinct sound. I love it. Wouldn't copy it, but I love it. - Omar Hakim, Sting, Dream of the Blue Turtles: Not a Pearl fan, but Omar's drums always sound good to me, especially his bass ... but I think his technique and style have as much to do with that as the gear. - Carlos Vega, Donald Fagen, The Nightfly: I actually have the same year and model snare Carlos used a lot. Great sound. - Jeff Porcaro, Toto: Did his drums ever sound bad? |

Ian Mosley - Marillion "Misplaced Childhood": Wide open Yamaha sound, hell you almost tell the colour  I'll second Jeff Porcaro. Hey Gaddabout, wasn't Omar using Yamahas at the time of Dream Of The Blue Turtles? -- Rob |

Donald Fagen Uh, nice filter. It just brought a pop icon out of the closet. From here on out, I shall refer to him as The Artist formerly known as the Keyboardist for Steely Dan. |

I love it. I didn't notice it the first time I read your post To make matters worse, I'm thinking now and I'm not sure if it was Carlos Vega on The Nightfly. I know Jeff Porcaro and Steve Jordan were on it -- great stuff. Rick Marotta, another drummer who always sounds great, might have been on it. |

Lenny White on Return To Forever's Romantic Warrior.
Any Art Blakey. Not bad for non-processed, gated, etc., recordings.

The dreaded faggy filter strikes again...
Nice mention on "Misplaced Childhood." Those Yamahas not only have that "Yamaha" sound, but Ian's drums are always very recognizable for some reason. Cymbals sound killer on that record too.

Rick Marotta, another drummer who always sounds great, might have been on it. Carlos Vega was not on The Nightfly album. The drummers that appear are Jeff Porcaro, James Gadson, Ed Green, and Steve Jordan on the last tune ... one of my favorites ... Walk Between Raindrops. |

Steve Jordan's a strange cat. The stuff he played with Scofield was nice. Dude could of been one of New York's hippest fusion players, but he'd rather be known for 2&4. Don't get more pro than Jordan, though. That high pitched snare crack was his signature sound until everyone copied it in the 80s. I wonder, if traced closely enough, if Jordan could be credited as primary influence on hip hop and techno drum sounds. Hmmmmm .... Anyone remember him on Letterman? I remember the week Steve Gadd subbed for him. I think I still have those tapes.  |

Something else worth checking out: Steve also played on a couple of live albums in a group with Mike Maineri, the brothers Brecker, Warren Bernhardt, et al - "Blue Montreaux," recorded at the Montreaux Jazz Fest. He hung quite nicely with those guys. Anyone remember him on Letterman? I remember the week Steve Gadd subbed for him. I think I still have those tapes. I missed Gadd on the show :-/ but yes, that was a hell of a band back in the day...back before it morphed into its current incarnation as Paul Shaffer's "show tunes cover band"... |

Yeah, Steve Jordan on The Letterman Show ... I miss that band ... back in the early, early years on NBC.
I also like what Steve does on a number of David Sanborn's albums. There's just something about those albums ... it seems to have the perfect blend of Jazz/Pop/R&B/Funk ... not like the Smooth Jazz stuff that you hear today.

There aren't too many recorded drum sounds I don't like.
Uh, since we are talking about the drummers for Dave Letterman I thought I would like to say how much I enjoyed Anton Fig's recorded permances with Will Lee on the Ace Freley solo albums and Freley's comet.
Always liked Weckle's sound. His "Master Plan" solo album was cool sounding.
Always thought the drum sound in Rush's "Moving Pictures" was amazing.
Live rock I always enjoyed Tommy Aldridge's "Speak of the Devil" live album and Vinnie Appices tom sound in "LIve Evil" for stadium rock sounds.
I really liked Jerry Marotta's sound on the Peter Gabriel "Security" album...no use of cymbals btw on that one.
For Jazz, jeez there are so many. I'd have to say for some of the nicest/dryest cymbal work- I like Chick Corea's "Trio Music" with Roy Burns on drums.
