Tone Profile

The drums have a tight, punchy, and somewhat retro sound, reminiscent of 80s pop/rock. The kick and snare are prominent, with a gated reverb effect adding to the vintage vibe.

Recording Notes

• The drum sound in "Style" features a blend of close-mic'd drums and gated reverb, contributing to its signature sound.
• Compression and EQ were used to shape the drum tones, making them tight and punchy.
• The AMS RMX16 reverb unit was likely used to create the gated reverb effect on the snare drum.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Yamaha Recording Custom drum kit for a similar tonal foundation.
• Use a Neumann U47 microphone on the kick and snare drums to capture their full sonic character.
• Apply compression to the kick and snare to enhance their punch and sustain.
• Experiment with gated reverb using a plugin emulation of the AMS RMX16 to replicate the 80s-inspired reverb effect.
