Sound Legacy - Abe Cunningham

[@kowboy83ra]

His snare on My Own Summer is one of the best snare sounds of all time. That is all

[@romu7999]

And Digital bath ;)

[@VipersNest]

I read somewhere once that he used a different snare on every song on that album.

[@DaxterZA]

One of the most underrated drummers, Abe is a legend!

[@AllanJ...Batmo365]

Not really... He plays his own songs really well... He's rated exactly as he should be... Nothing more nothing less.

[@11SEXMACHINE]

@@AllanJ...Batmo365 WTF are you talking about? No more no less, lmfao. What do you play? Didn't think so.

[@triffle69]

Daxter ZA Nope !! Matt Garstka recently was saying that Abe had some influence on him ... ( breaking beats)

[@ClauGutierrezY]

I never thought of him as underrated, he kind of made a massive difference back in the day when this all started with this nu netal thing. Hi was the different one to my eyes

[@woocash80]

@@AllanJ...Batmo365 Abe is original. He has his own style and that's very hard to develop. I find his beats so enjoyable to play. Especially the ones from Saturday Night Wrist album. So much fun

[@shannonbunch1003]

Abe plays real heavy handed but the sound he pulls from his drums is really clean..you hear every cymbal , nothing bleeds together . Just a real smooth finish. Nobody sounds like Abe..One of my favorite drummers

[@AdamWasHere]

Digital Bath is one of his best early pieces of work.

[@dominicomegon4714]

White Pony isn't his early work.

[@mattshaggs2931]

@@dominicomegon4714 Agreed...and I nominate One Weak for some of his good "early work"

[@dalekay9ine]

Dominic Omegon It was the 3rd album of 8 and 20 fuckin years ago, that’s early work there genius.

[@dominicomegon4714]

My favorite drummer ever. I never thought a drummer could be "haunting" the background and still be the spine of the track itself. Very unique.

[@iamkilroiyo]

I always loved his snare sound.

[@elephantface5029]

I love it when pro drummers can remember all their cymbals. It annoys me when they have to read the series and sizes as if they don't really care... Abe is the man!

[@Monsterdrumma]

Alex McNeil Same!

[@jayvalle50]

Same here bro🤘

[@nikolanikolic4799]

Same bro:)

[@waveemann8857]

He also keeps the same setup for quite a while. I respect that he changes it up, while also sticking with a set of gear and fleshing it out. Wish I could get my hands on his signature snare.

[@Flying_Snakes]

I'm a rhythm guitar guy and never really gave two shits about drummers, but then I heard Abe's stuff. He plays the drums like a contributing instrument not just a time keeper. It draws you into the music and I feel myself listening to his drums more than the guitar riffs (which are also awesome btw) in Deftones songs. He fucking kills.

[@SouravendraKrishnaDeb]

Deftones deserves way more recognition!

[@dannyklus3961]

Such an underrated and solid drummer.

[@stoplookingatmeplease1230]

Man the shit that he did on Adrenaline... that sick drumming was influencing

[@S-co6uo]

stoplooking atmeplease stuff he did on white pony really influenced me especially on the song Rx Queen!

[@alexbaum2204]

I also thought that stuff was so tasty. It seemed like he really toned it down from there, but I admittedly did not listen to as much of their stuff after that album. Correct me if I’m wrong, please.

[@mck7646]

@@alexbaum2204 you haven't heard other Deftones albums besides Adrenaline?

[@Imaddrums]

My favorite drummer of all time

[@jeffyneedsanap]

The reason I started playing. Love this guy

[@Leg0z]

Abe's a cool dude. His drumming had a huge effect on my drumming in my teen years.

[@silversky5554]

he deserves more recognition

[@Xebrutmozxe]

Thanks to Abe I started playing the drums in 2000. An icon who gave me the motivation I needed!

[@derreckossas4951]

Swerve city in low tempo is heavy af.

[@tkelly830]

Legend

[@buzztone6250]

Just love Abe's style and feel one of my favourite drummers Ever!!. Plus he seems like a cool humble guy, who drums like an animal, Great combo!

[@Amp1771]

Finally u guys are promoting a cool drummer for once.

[@VladShpiro]

That's my man right there! Love Abe

[@daffyshakilfur3563]

He has such a unique style.

[@fromaggio7654]

Such a cool guy, definetly my top 3 together with David Silviera and Tim Alexander!

[@carlreynolds1111]

First time i ever heard of him. He sounds real nice person.Working hats really good.

[@Sinqjam]

Master of Ghost Notes

[@ThaTruth223]

ThaTruth223 And Thomas Haake

[@magicyeti9256]

Caffeine Beats

[@S-co6uo]

Metal Healing Mostly from the earliest Korn albums on Untouchables,and See You On The Other Side the drumming got really basic imo.

[@joshualecuisinier]

Gavin Harrison, too.

[@romu7999]

I love him. He is so unique and he is truly a major element in Deftones style.

[@WillCtheMechDrummer]

I love his crisp powerful sound! We also share the same bday! Abe's a Cool mufka! Very underrated!!!

[@xRamZx]

The legend himself

[@PoppyB2011]

I love ya Abe. Genius. Just love ya. To pieces.... One of my favorites of all time. ♥ Your sense of timing is simply amazing. No one plays like you.

[@gSWG3R]

His hi hat work on Passenger and Digital Bath is defining... Instantly recognise his style.

[@jamesguinn2948]

Very humble, that the belief that someone else has in you is just as paramount as the belief in yourself, and he recognizes that.

[@hansonadolsky]

One of my favorite drummers

[@chairsmissing]

My favorite drummer

[@ted__ryan]

I am gonna start drumming because of him.

[@mcfly3510]

I almost saw all of the best drummers and the most hard hitting drummer is: Abe Cunningham

[@CamoGal99]

Abe is my hero 💞🥁

[@woodrownorcal9085]

Sweet Kings hat Love that he Still Represents Sacramento I was lucky enough to see Deftones at the Cattle Club many times. The press club too. Thanks Abe

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Abe is definitely a drum nerd, it's awesome!

[@raytheonorion]

The first time I heard Abe play I remember thinking that all other drummers were inferior.

[@magicyeti9256]

Started seeing the Boys at the Cattle Club in SacTown '90. Killer Energy

[@adrielcordova1495]

What’s the second song played in the background?

[@tbslandfill]

okay but why is swerve city being played like 20 BPM slower

[@TacoCrisma]

They do that with a lot of songs. Probably just get bored and switch it up. When they do it with diamond eyes it's heavy as hell. Sounds like a djent band.

[@isaiaharriaga4977]

YES DOOOD!! Abe is too cool

[@andreasmagriplis3281]

Beastly Abe riding thunder hits on those cymbals.

[@Javiermedici1981]

Power sound power groove 🙏🏻 🥁

[@ericmoreton3650]

Love the Abe.

[@tommorrison6889]

I remember asking Abe what kind of cymbals he uses backstage Asbury Park in 98. A bit inebriated he told me Zildjian a, b, c and d's lol

[@evenegas7252]

[@ShredGuitarColombiaMT]

What is the name of the last song?

[@marcusbrown87]

I love his drumming, but I gotta say the old A custom was his sound. The ping ride just doesn't sound right.

[@dalekay9ine]

Marcus Brown I absolutely HATE how the ping ride sounds on Gore, I’m really hoping he switched back to the A for the album they’re working on now.

[@rwebiscool]

Wish Deftones would tour with Incubus again!

[@asr1143]

hope never

The drumming comes though the way you speak Abe, fast talker, fast drummer mirroring.

[@sharrythedave4758]

He looks and sounds like Mike Mangini.

It's intentional. I don't they play to a click live, and they always slow down the chorus in Swerve City.

Monster in the studio, complete liability live.
