Distortion Drum - Lightning Will Strike

[DistortMePlz]

Reminds me of a mix of...Slipknot/Alien ant farm/ then some metalcore influence. You guys were so much more interesting than all the other 530 bands. Good song mannnnn

You guys ALWAYS have sounded great.

@adwxsby This song was recorded twice. Once on our first album and re-recorded for this album. I have everything Distortion Drum, so if you want both albums just let me know. I have the download links. thanks for the comment!

[jeremy123422]

fuck yeah i was listening to this high and i fucking DIG IT!!!!!!!!!! btw i love your drumming bro keep it up!!

[brianwildemusic]

You guys remind me of a band called Look What I Did in some parts, at least instrument-wise.

I like everything except the vocals, to be honest.

I'm here for the drums anyways, you're great Beau.

[beau96080]

thanks! i will check those guys out. You should listen to the other song we have on here called "These Days Age". It's more radio-friendly. lots of singing, way less screaming.

[sumstufflol]

Did you record this with all of your current equipment? Everything sounds AMAZING.

[beau96080]

Yes, sir. I've had the same equipment for years now. lol. I haven't upgraded anything in 5 years. I just have a board, a pc program and some good mics.

[sumstufflol]

So, is the sound in this video/your other videos a pretty accurate representation of how it sounds in person? Or is it super eq'd? Because i'm thinking about purchasing the 14x5 free floater because of what i hear on your vids.

[beau96080]

no, i really got it to sound like that. What I usually do to the snare in post mixing is increase 5000khz, and 10,000khz, by just a few dB. I also increase a few dB somewhere between 200hz and 260hz. There is also a little compression. My snare can sound pretty close to what you hear in this song. You also gotta count reverb, the natural ring of the snare, and the room your in which could change the sound. The mics don't pick up the "ring" of the snare drum, so it sounds damp.

[sumstufflol]

Ah, I see. As long as it sounds relatively close. I definitely don't mind a little ring, snares don't sound good live without it.

[weichiang]

It's kinda sad you guys broke up.

Your drumming has always been an inspiration man.

Good luck on any future project anyways.

[Shmako1]

Enjoyed this greatly. And I agree with what you said in the description. As much as I love and appreciate technical metal it is nice to just listen to some head bobbin music once and a while. Love the intro / 2 min riff.

[Czcadler]

nice beau!!! keep it going good luck to your band!

[beau96080]

i don't know if you read the info section, but we've been broken up for almost 3 years now.

[Czcadler]

wow you're right I didn't ! Anyways I hope your doing ok! I am a huge fan, keep it going beau!
