Silk Sonic - Anderson Paak's Classic 70's Drum Sounds | Recreating Iconic Drum Sounds

Great Gift Ideas for Drummers imp.i114863.net/Gjzq5r
Silk Sonic is the new project of US super stars Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak and is a huge homage to the music of the 60's and 70's.
Recreating their drum sound also means recreating the iconic R'n'B sound of the 70's and that's why we also brought in some vintage equipment. An old Ludwig drumkit, a 60's Acrolite snare and some Zildjian cymbals suit this music perfectly.
Have fun finding out what we ended up with.

We just uploaded a free in depth audio mixing video about our Silk Sonic drum sound here: artofdrumming.com/courses/mixing-iconic-drum-sounds Have fun checking out how Pascal mixed those retro drums.

[@MrAmity5]

I have a request a video on the drum sound of black sabbath's first album.

[@john.lakeman]

Could you guys do a video on Petar Janjic’s sound in Cory Wong’s band?

[@MyNam3IsBen]

@@john.lakeman opooo pooo

[@8194856]

Well done guys, your videos are truly worth watching, and Pascal is sooooo versatile. Great!

[@Nitrotoast1]

Paak is one of the coolest modern mainstream drummers

[@ArtOfDrumming]

totally agree

[@Baribrotzer]

Tell you one thing: when Anderson stops dancing, goes over behind the kit, they turn the machine off, and he plays some real drums, Silk Sonic gets about 100% better.

[@zanohoriamazo1]

@@Baribrotzer Machine? I’ve seen that APaak uses it in his live shows with Free Nationals, but in Silk Sonic, Bruno’s brother Eric plays drums live, with what looks to be the same type setup here, like what Paak uses.

[@isaacperez22]

Wasn't JD Beck the album's drummer?

[@skateplusrice]

@@isaacperez22 i think he just did Skate

[@tommyrb]

It's incredible what you guys achieve in these videos. Didn't expect Anderson Paak but I love it

[@ArtOfDrumming]

😊 thanks 🙏

[@thedrinkerofH2O]

That's nearly identical. Once again, as always, incredible job from you guys hands up to you.

[@RogierRJDonker]

Pascal is so versatile! What a drummer. Truly a chameleon with his playing. He just keeps it so true to the original with everything you guys do. Amazing!

[@jacobh9344]

Can we appreciated that 19” Kerope for a moment?! That thing sounds amazing!

[@ArtOfDrumming]

🙌

[@kevindube7096]

I’m sold!

[@potatopanuntun1515]

after recreating the sounds.. can't wait for the full cover as usual..!!

[@ArtOfDrumming]

thank you!

[@ZacSpyrakis]

anderson paak , by far one of the most talented and grooviest drummers of the 21st century. what an awesome sounding ludwig here !

[@ihavespoken4555]

This was a great watch, thank you for taking the time to make this video. The musicianship on AEWSS blew me away, it's thrilling to see what magic can happen when you get gifted musicians in a room together jamming. I'm still in awe that .Paak lay just one take on the drums for Leave The Door Open.

[@jojofox29]

I love these videos. Pascal is such a skilled and versatile drummer👏👏

[@dftns]

Super! the versatility of this channel is outstanding! For people like me that loves music in general since 70's R&B tunes until a extreme Metal, is a blessing! Thank you guys!

[@andreleite770]

Wow! Perfect guys! I really appreciate the work you put doing this videos! A lot of work for sure!

[@Lemon_Drums_USA]

Honestly this kit sounds better then even what’s on their albums

[@netofernandesa]

This retro-sounding style of drums is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful.

[@madden5151]

The production you put into these videos is so awesome

[@ShortP1089]

those old ludwig sets are just amazing. really nice video, also the mic-choices for the kick drum are cool, gotta try that on my next recording session

[@zikandgroovefr]

Silk Sonic is incredibly talented! It's refreshing to see you're doing whole vidéo about them. Thank you, and I love your opening clip.

[@noahreasoner]

Once again- y’all hit the spot. Tell the team great job🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@geoffstockton]

Ever since I was 17, which would have been '94/'95, I've been deeply in love 1970s drum sounds. Especially the sound of disco drums. I've been recording music at home since then but it's only been for the past few years that I've had access to those types of drum sounds. I farmed the sounds from a killer local Kalamazoo, MI player named Brad Frank (has a KZbin channel) with entirely vintage drums, cymbals, hardware, mics and pre-amps. He gave me bunch of dynamic levels on each drum and cymbal, with and without towels on the drums. I play them on a Launchpad Pro with my right hand while I play chord changes with my left. I can lay down 32 bars of that and let it repeat, pick up a guitar or have a quick seat at the keys and have all sorts of fun.

[@gunnargrubbs3123]

Incredible, you are truly an appreciator of music. Inspiring!

[@fheering]

Great video and great choice of topic! .Paak’s been around doing his thing for quite some time and deserves to have his drum sound celebrated like this. Spot on, guys! One cool think about An Evening With Silk Sonic, that I learned recently, is that Anderson .Paak is credited as drum player in 8 out of 9 songs. For “Smokin Out The Window” him and Bruno chose to bring in the amazing Homer Steinweiss (Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Lee Fields, Mark Ronson etc.) for recording the drum part. I absolutely love Homer’s playing. Both, Anderson .Paak and Homer Steinweiss, got to be two of the most skilled smooth-funky drummers in the world. Talk about silk sonic, indeed!

[@demonicsweaters]

I absolutely love this drum sound

[@ROQSTAR]

Love that 60's and 70's drum sound! 🔥

[@calebhasselman4406]

Love the "wurst" mic. A trick used in our studio quite a bit! Y'all are as inspiring as you're entertaining!

[@narco73]

Lol, I didn't get it till I read your comment. Danke!

[@pawelmorrison]

Maaan, great job as always! Beautiful sounding and looking kit.

[@BouseFeenuxTV]

Love the production quality of these videos! Everytime I watch something on this channel I learn something new. Thanks!

[@ziccuj]

Gotta love those old 421's and 441's. Great playing and tones too, thanks a bunch!

[@BobbylightRCE]

Has the to be the best cover so far. The camera shots were beautiful. Always great playing and explanation

[@BenjiAtlas]

Great video! Love the shells on those drums btw. So pretty!

[@raulenrique4442]

an evening with silk sonic it's my favorite album of 2021 thank for recreate the drum sound hello from mexico

[@Rocknrolldaddy81-xy8ur]

Without that dude with the glasses (Pascal) we’re all doomed to fail at duplicating this funky masterpiece. 👍🏼Great playing.

[@carbinefiber8142]

Man, all that muffling and dry cymbals make it sound so smooth and creamy with the mix. My first kit was a Ludwig and I just love those colors on your the kit! The clean and simple playing also makes it sound smooth. Nice vid 👍

[@blackasthesky]

Beautiful sound, beautiful kit, beautiful music.

[@adamglover6064]

This is an amazing breakdown! Thank you so much!!

[@Drummersatx]

Didn’t know I needed this. Mucho thanks!

clicked on the video hoping id read emails or do something while it played background, but it was so interesting and well edited I couldn't take my eyes off. guess I really like them drums huh, great great video! silk sonic rocks

Silk Sonic’s “ Leave the Door Open” has also got that Motown vibe/ motif.

[@ashlee9722]

What a beautiful drum sound!!! I would love to see a recreation of Mario Deplantier from GOJIRA

[@alobosk]

That's the sound of drums accompanying music. Am I the only one that always wanted this sound in music? I have proof of music that I've made in the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s that sounds like this. Always. We have Vulfpeck and others doing this too. Was I always right by clutching to the sound, and now the world is catching up to my taste? I hope!

[@mojito6629]

I want a drum set exactly like that! 😁

Great series!! What about recreating the iconic sound of Bill Bruford in the 70s (Yes, King Crimson, UK)?

[@thomasjorgensen4574]

One Yes video/the evolution of the Bruford snare drum sound; three videos for the different drum sound(s) he used while in Crimson; one for UK’s Roto Tom glory; and even one for Earthworks’ electronic kit/later acoustic kit.

[@johnedwardl.gaspar7978]

yeah that was a nice mix there bro, definitely sounds alike

Amazingly smooth sound. My request for a future video(s) is Nick Mason. Any song would be great, but my personal recommendation is Time as he is the heartbeat and timekeeper of Pink Floyd.

Looking for this sound, you can't go wrong by using the Ludwig drums !!
