Reverse Snare Verb Effect

This is a quick clip from my little Zi8 camera from a mixing session on an upcoming album I am co-producing with Simon Collins. Captured here is an on the spot idea I had to put a reversed reverb effect on the first snare hit for more impact. So Zach the assistant engineer ran the snare through a reverb, reversed it and then Nick Davis turns it up for a listen. Could be a keeper!

Is this album to be released?

@sonicreality If you search on youtube for "Sonic Reality" and "Hugh Padgham" you can see use recreating the Phil Collins/Peter Gabriel style drum sounds at Genesis' studio The Farm. Just some short behind the scenes clips like this one. Or actually you can just click on my channel and watch all kinds of stuff like that. This is Dave Kerzner btw I am just logged in through my company account which is SR.

@zwartepiet412 Backwards drums effects have been done before that. I have no idea who was the first to do it. Maybe The Beatles even. You can hear backwards toms on Pink Floyd's Animals. Lots of places. Hugh Padgham while working with PC and PG did discover a certain type of compressed ambient drum sound while PG insisted on not using any cymbals. That may be what you're referring to. It was a great sound that Sonic Reality recreated with him in a new sample library coming out actually. -DK

@tonypail2003 This is an album I'm co-producing with Phil Collins' son Simon Collins. The engineer there is Nick Davis (Genesis). The track is an instrumental on the album and this is when the drums come in.

@TheMessianicManic You miss the point of the video. It wasn't the discovery of a trick as if no one ever did before... it was just capturing a moment where it was decided to be used as an effect in a song.

i could be wrong, but didnt phil collins and peter gabriel discover this technique in 1980 while working on pete's third album

[tonypail2003]

What is the song and artist being played?

[03056445]

yup thats an SSL 8000g man that amazing we have one at school its simply amazing

[mrguano7]

Is that an SSL 8000G?

@TheMessianicManic Of course they do. Reversing something in a DAW is a basic function. But this was just showing the choice to do that in a musical context the moment that choice was being made in the production. Before there were no plans to do that effect. But we wanted to try it out and... we ended up using it. Cuz it's a cool trick! (doesn't work for every song but worked in this one)
