Machine Head - aesthetics of hate drum track

[CalIingTheRain]

I want an I am hell insturmental. Where do i get it^^

[HarryCaneNo1]

very cool but aren´t the floortoms and the bell a bit powerless during the part after the second chorus ??? I think they sound stronger on the album/mp3 etc......

[j0gan673]

What's amazing is that Dave never plays to a metronome for Machine Head records. Takes a lot of skill to do that.

[antonio610]

@j0gan673 Sure, but he plays to guitar tracks, which were recorded to a click track. You make it sound like he just hears the song in his head.

[j0gan673]

@antonio610 It's very different playing to a song that's in time and playing to a click track.

[XplosivX]

@antonio610 Machine Head don't play to a click track.

[antonio610]

@XplosivX That's ridiculous. Every professional metal band records guitars with click tracks or something to keep time. They keep the tempo consistent between the different instruments and the many layers of rhythm guitars and harmonies a band like MH would use. It's just convenient.

[XplosivX]

@antonio610 No it isn't ridiculous . And I am aware of the fact most modern metal bands record to a click. I am a musician and a engineer myself so I know what happens in a studio more than most. But I can tell you for a fact that Machine Head do not record to a click track. Rob Flynn has commented many times on how they do not use any click track in the studio. Do some research before you call someones post ridiculous.

[antonio610]

@XplosivX Can't say that I've ever read him say anything of the sort. In fact, in the making of Unto the Locust, Robb is shown clearly recording a riff to a drum track.

[XplosivX]

@antonio610 Of course he was recording to the drum track. They are hardly going into the studio and recording all their parts separately without listening to what was recorded previously. That is not the same as recording to a click, a click track is tempo mapped pulse that the musician plays along to. Rob and Dave go into the studio first and Dave lays down his drums while Rob plays along.

@XplosivX do you happen to know the reason they dont use em? ive always wondered that.

[Soulrust1]

I used to play drums like this... but then I took an arrow in the knee

[HarryCaneNo1]

@Soulrust1 omg how did this find the way to a drumming video ??? ;-)

[TimoKingWOB]

how did you get the drum track?

[BaSs4cE11]

@TimoKingWOB basically searched on google for aesthetics of hate master tracks. Look for the .ogg files, cant remember where i got them though sorry.

[jakiescostam]

i love that chain-crash in solo part that hits in not on "1" but on "and", fucking perfect

[davidofchinkov41]

can you do a vid about travis smith drums?

[madfinnishgamer38]

The song used to be one of my favorites... and still is.

[yishto]

My drum teacher told me he got to try out McClain's kit and said it was incredibly difficult because of how tall the guy is and his preferential set up (toms set low and flat) causing the bass drums to be so far apart that one has to be able to do the splits to even try what he does on it.

[karlmel8804]

1 person doesn't know about metal drumming. Its not all about the blast beats man. we need groove too. bah! like you even understand what i am talking about here.

[tehfroob1]

Where did you get the track from and what did you load it in to..? Stuff like this is handy for learning the songs you see.

[BigJrLoc]

do wovles!!!!

[drummin4InTheShadows]

his drum setup is so awesome!!!! ^_^ i wanna play on them just once

[Villex93]

@drummin4InTheShadows Hah strange because his setup really annoys me...

[rawkarpojk]

@Villex93 It's a really annoying setup but I really want to try it...strange feeling :)

[tommyXBOX360]

@drummin4InTheShadows Why, you have bones in your legs don't you? McClain doesn't... look at the fucking base drums, 5 meters away or something

[drumdemon3]

@drummin4InTheShadows as if! looks dumb as fuck and must damage his legs having them so far apart

[Crazy3189]

Hell yes!

[HellBits971]

this is why dave mclaine is my hero and is equal to lars ulrich

[JakballGene]

@HellBits971 Dave Mclain is 1000 x better than Lars

[fucklortable]

@JakballGene right! but be careful making lars better than he is :D

[Qminoo]

@JakballGene Not that I don't think Dave is an super awesome drummer but being 1000x better than Lars isn't so hard, to be honest. Lars is the worst famous drummer

[glynard18]

Ive been looking and searching for this drum track forever!! THANKS!!!!
