DEFTONES - Get Abe Cunningham's Drum Sound | Recreating Iconic Drum Sounds

[@payupatour4886]

Abe Cunningham is underrated af

[@alainmartinez6831]

he really is, he comes up with some pretty sick drum parts.

[@therewasascene]

One of my all-time favorite drummers along with Jon Theodore

[@brycestacker9282]

Abe's one of the most renowned drummers of all time in the genre....

[@mason56933]

Mario duplantier from gojira sounds next

[@jacobcovert8805]

Would be awesome if you guys did a drum sound video on Jimmy Chamberlin of The Smashing Pumpkins

[@jared_grey]

💯

[@ozzygreen619]

Bill Ward's drum sound for Black Sabbath!

[@Russell..ShredNeckGuitarTech]

Been listening to Deftones since the very beginning and they are by far my favorite band have seen them live several times and I have to say that your recreation of the sound is right on point. Well done. I would recommend Thomas Pridgeon from The Mars Volta.

[@jpthedrummer4258]

Same, same and same man!

[@Russell..ShredNeckGuitarTech]

@@jpthedrummer4258 😃🤙🏼💫

[@poindextertunes]

i love defrones music but the singing just doesn’t click with me for whatever reason but I’m weird about singing and lyrics 😅 i never really pay attention to them lol

[@olekdocumentaries]

Oh i freaking love that snare! Props to yall for the quality, great stuff!

[@MontaguStudios]

I absolutely love cracked snare sounds and Abe Cunningham is one of the kings of this craft. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@johanlindblom1]

Yeah, loved his OCDP vented snares he used for ”my own summer” and digital bath

[@xRamZx]

Your digital bath snare is PERFECT. Wow! Well done

[@lichtfilme]

Abe = underrated genius

[@poindextertunes]

the tom and snare at the beginning of my own summer is so iconic 🔥

[@deathmetaldave]

It made me trade my monster ludwigs for a small jazz fusion drumset

[@parkermaik]

true. yet they managed to skip that that and talk over the digital bath intro. wtf.

[@rafazeppelin]

One of the best recreations you've done. The snare is on point!

[@keithlambson]

Would love to see Karnivool. Great work on this one!

[@skodamian9872]

This will be a good one mate

[@jpthedrummer4258]

Yessss

[@LaunchPointBand]

Great job. As a side note Abe used a OCDP 20ply vented snare for the White Pony album. The higher ply count brings up the pitch of the shell while still having body. You can also add die-cast rims to reduce the overtones.

[@ruanddu]

I thought it was the Tama bell brass?

[@jitzwa]

@@ruanddunah he posted on his instagram showing his snare collection that we was using to record the Ohms record with. in the caption he said that the orange sparkle snare seen in the shot is the digital bath snare, and it was an OCDP Vented Snare

[@ruanddu]

@@jitzwaappreciate that! Good to know.

[@LaunchPointBand]

2:45 mark

[@beatnicksbeats]

Terry Date, the producer of White Pony, also explains this in a KZbin video. He also said that an SM57 was used to mic the snare.

[@atamize]

Do Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band!

[@bllainerr]

Philip Selway from Radiohead!!

[@oliverkamyszew7820]

Abe's sound is insane. So clean.

[@tearfulplace5015]

that second snare tone is perfect i should give deftones another shot

[@therewasascene]

Drums on white pony are legendary

[@flavy1000]

Love the sound! Deftones is kinda obscure and mysterius ... Well done!

[@josslarryliu4315]

Can you do Nick menza sound from Megadeth

[@Shezmen88]

Holy moly that was spot on for real!

[@guydori994]

Can you do Nicko Mcbrain's sound from Iron Maiden

[@bobafettt6976]

Absolutely nailed the digital bath sound. Excellent work

[@esunsiete]

That is so well played and sound so good that it looks like playback, just like the record.

[@MakotoIchinose]

That snare sound really piercing through especially with that reverb and muffling 😗👌

[@cobibraiant7420]

Some suggestions for the next drum sound videos: - Mario Duplantier (Gojira) - Igor Cavalera (Sepultura) - Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins) - Bill Ward (Black Sabbath) - Vinnie Paul (Pantera) - The Rev (Avenged Sevenfold)

[@danyheld9952]

the tom sound is really great. the snare also sounds nice 👍🏼

[@gb-nz]

Been trying for years to get One Headlight - Wallflowers snare sound... PLEASEEEE

[@ruanddu]

Think a lot of the sound is the room sound and compression and effects on snare. Otherwise it’s a Noble Cooley wood piccolo from what I read. Also, the tuning of both heads has to be exactly right tension or note per head, but even then there is some secret sauce with the recording. I am sure you probably knew all that already! 😅

[@burresseffects]

Every instrument in that song is so well recorded and mixed. It’s beautiful.

[@ruanddu]

@@burresseffectsI completely agree! The low end of kick drum and bass guitar are so tight yet full sounding. Guitar is perfectly gritty yet controlled and warm.

[@jpthedrummer4258]

This is exactly how I tune my drums to get this sound. That snare ohhhh that snare! So good!

[@sordid_ray]

this is sick. i know this might be a long shot since he's not super well known, but bryan st. pere of hum was one of abe's biggest influences and his drum sounds on YPAA are awesome. it'd be really cool if you guys could do a video on him.

[@yessitsme6884]

Same day as Roland releasing a video of Abe demoing the new almost 10k$ V Drums (VAD716) with Butch Vig's help... And it still sounds like crap compared to this! Kids, save money and rent a rehearsal space instead so you can play real drums.

[@DavulKursu]

lol, thanks for letting me know :D will check it asap

[@nickcds3419]

Terrible advice. An electronic kit gives you endless opportunities to PRACTICE ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME. Get over yourself

[@CFChristian]

@@nickcds3419 You're right but I am guessing they were trying to compare the cost vs quality of sounds. Even then, renting space + affordable kit is cheaper than the Roland.

[@nickcds3419]

@@CFChristian you’re also not considering how easy it is to set up and record. It’s sooooo much easier and you can manipulate any sound you want including importing your own sample. Listen, nothing beats a high quality acoustic set. But let’s stop with the hate on electric drums. It’s bull shit

[@pawnzrtasty]

Or just buy an alesis. I love mine.

[@AgusGonzalez1998]

Definitely nailed it! Great job!

[@daddykorn1977]

wow ,you did it bro,sounds exactly

[@mobilesuitderka]

Not sure why I'm always amazed at how close it sounds....you do it every time!

[@gblaster]

Abe actually used a OCDP 6x14 20Ply vented snare on My Own Summer. Great recreation though!

[@Boxerharvey1]

Was just going to say the same thing, he used the Orange County snare on the Around the fur album. Great video though.

[@MadMatty01]

Fantastic work as always! One suggestion/request: Could you also give quick samples of the cymbals next time? Just hitting each cymbal once or so like you did with the toms, that'd be super nice!

[@gabrielswintek7485]

Love this one, always thought that around the fur snare sound was killer. You guys gotta do Bill Ward next! ❤

[@UMCmetal]

spot on!

[@ArgonautDrums]

Definitely in my top 10 snare tones 🤘

[@LouSassles]

I’d love to see a Mike Bordin from faith no more episode. That dude is legendary

[@therewasascene]

NAILED the digital bath sound

[@laurentmorin1923]

I love the sound of the hi-hat's bell. Cool detail.

[@rd_rae]

Great ear and expertise in setting it all up, sounds fabulous!

[@Philtoid]

The tone is perfect

[@dftns]

This channel is a blessing! 🙌🏻

[@viktorondrums3347]

Awesome recreation. Nailed perfectly. Very tasty playing as well 🎉

[@chiefindisguise]

Wow you realllyyy NAILED this one🔥💪🏻

[@troymaklur]

A simply beautiful sound

[@thepluggy1]

If any hasn't checked it out, Eli Green drums does a great digital bath snare sound recreation video. It's definitely worth checking out

[@barrymonroy7138]

Loved that drum sound from their drums.

[@Chriswasreigns]

You nailed the snare sound from digital bath 😍

[@ozzygreen619]

Topper Headon's drum sound for the Clash, especially on London Calling!

[@thomasbennett7210]

Would love to see a Cavs from King Gizzard video

[@pissguzzler1404]

absolutely, but which era?

[@danieljohnpeters]

Sounds sick

[@ricardomachado8616]

damn Pascal..... you got the SAUCE

[@sparknado]

Oh great. I've been looking to grab a DrumCraft bell brass snare on the used market for like 10 years. Now they're going to be even harder to find...

[@CFChristian]

Curious if you have ever looked into a Keith Carlock signature Gretsch.

[@ZOB4]

That crown gel made that snare sound much, much better.

[@mexicanmaggot666]

Will you upload the Digital Bath playthrough? Also, can you do Matt Halpern of Periphery next??

[@mrcoatsworth429]

Honestly, you can watch Nolly's videos for Matt's drum sounds haha

[@stevekirton]

Drum sounds on point as always 👌

[@JG-nx3jg]

Sounds bang on, the holy grail of drum sounds as far as im concerned

[@_hide_-lb1gk]

This is scary accurate. 👍

[@THEUNHINGEDSANITY]

This video deserves more plays! Everyone, share the f outta it!

[@85ddrummer]

I go the chance to meet Abe once. Great dude as he was a massive influence for me. I was only young and bombarded with him questions about his set up. He couldn’t answer which cymbals he used but I was likely being annoying haha

[@lewismaclean8849]

Another amazing video as always. Alongside my previous reconmendations of Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and Brooks Wackerman from Avenged Sevenfold and Travis Smith, Nick Augusto and Alex Bent of Trivium, I would also love to see you recreate various recordings that have electronic drums like Alanis Moirssette's song "Ironic", Eminem early songs like "Without Me", Cobra Starship song "Good Girls Gone Bad", and my favourite punk band Rise Against songs Prayer of the Refugee. Keep up the amazing work all around.

[@extrashuggah6672]

shocked with the result and notatallextremelyjalous lol

[@kieffcatcher]

yayyy!! finally! sounds great as always :)

[@zeprajmr3230]

Love this Deftones ever since High School Digital Bath i remember my favorite movie they did as a soundtrack THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

[@ozzygreen619]

lovely video as always :)

[@CFChristian]

For anyone who cares - Abe didn't start using the Tama Bell Brass exclusively until White Pony. Prior to that, he started off with DW and then went to OCDP. He said himself while during the recording of Around the Fur that each track has a different snare featured on it. Annoyingly difficult to narrow each one down. However, the tracks recorded here sound great vs the recording, no matter what snare was used on the LP!

[@BlackHoleNoises]

Great one! You can try a Stone Temple Pilots one!

[@impulse_xs]

I'd recommend any young drummer learning to play rock music listen to Abe's drumming. As a kid, listening to and playing the parts from White Pony helped make me a better drummer.

[@waveemann8857]

This might be one of the few covers of My Own Summer where the drummer is playing the bell of the hi-hat. I have no idea why so many people omit this. It was one of the first "unusual" sounds I recognized in a song growing up.

[@poindextertunes]

great take

[@OfficialKevinFox]

Still waiting for over a year to hear either city of evil from Avenged Sevenfold, OR paranoid by Black Sabbath albums 🤘🏻 This sounds amazing and great and fantastic work as usual. Keep it up you guys. 🤘🏻

[@mrv1111]

Would be mad cool to see a video recreating the drum sounds of Michael Bland who used to play for Prince & many other artists

[@BretCahill]

I would like to see a video on Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes. Especially on the work he does with the ride cymbal.

[@kovalfetterer2218]

Please recreate Scott Rockenfield’s drum sound!

[@Sweet_teadrmr]

yesssssssssss FINALLLYYY

[@mrseaweed88]

That digital bath snare 🤤

[@MechaKG]

do you guys do videos on how you guys eq and mix your drums? this is outstanding!

[@sonidojamon]

That sounds great!!! I have a couple of questions about the overhead microphones placement and mixing: - I always thought that the center axis of a drumset is an imaginary line between the center of the snare (where you hit) and the point where the beater hits the kick drum. I've found myself placing the OH mikes equally distant to that imaginary axis. And to achieve that I started moving one forward and the other one to the back. I've found that this creates the best natural stereo placement of the drum parts in the stereo field, as it narrows it down. Hi-hat and Ride get closer to the center (where snare and kick now sit perfectly) And all toms stay under 50% to the side. I s this why the engineer placed the microphones that way? - This one's shorter: Hoy did you mix the OHS? Are they completely panned to the sides, and (if not) where do they sit in the stereo field (let's say, from L -100 to R +100. Thank you!!!

[@westbrad6808]

Apparently Abe used his Rocket Shell carbon fiber snare for Digital Bath. A friend of mine kinda knows him and asked him while having a drink. I still have my doubts tho, sounds like it could be bronze too 😅

[@Sasquatch27]

🤘🤘Thanks for the video 🤘🤘

[@cnonymous]

pascal is the goat

[@coreyw5981]

You guys should do II from Sleep Token next. Everyone loves his snare tone. He's also know for the dry cymbals

[@manuello1938]

PASCAL THIELENNNNNNNNNNN

[@AlexanderWS92]

Breakdown of Digital Bath, it's such a unique beat.

[@poindextertunes]

i feel like you gotta do Chad Sexton. First drummer i ever heard of using marching heads on his snare. its a really defining attribute of 311s music

[@Monsterdrumma]

Jimmy Chamberlins Gish sound!

[@Facu.g]

digital bath, que buen ambiente crearon en este tema...

[@vincentsilva7230]

Nice job

[@mrcoatsworth429]

Can you do Nicko McBrain's Powerslave and Somewhere in Time drum sounds?

[@EugeneCrabs6835]

Hey great video man I have a request that you should possibly do the revs drum sound next please and thank you

[@pigboypunk]

mike bordin faith no more

[@asor8037]

sounds amazing! whats your mix processing chain?

[@Marcel_tov]

I restarted drumming and ordered myself the exact same kit a few days ago. I own a "peace phosphor bronze" snare from back in the days which has quite the deftonesy snare sound. I mean what are the odds that from all mid class drumsets you choose exactly this to sound properly like early 2000s deftones? :)

[@rileyb6288]

Would love to see your recreation of ii from sleep tokens kit!

[@nickdaniels4899]

Pretty Good. Would be interesting to see you look at Ginger Baker next

[@maxkasler1454]

Please do Queens of the Stone Age

[@BenPowellDrummer]

ROYAL BLOODDDDDDDDDDD

[@M2Mil7er]

Aaaaren't as gooooood as DFAAAAA1979

[@CPpdx20]

You have to do a Morgan Rose video!!
