Def Leppard

hi guys, just saying here, besides having cool music, their drummer rick allen, who only has one arm, possesses the BEST snare drum sound in the world. listen to it recorded or live. hes a beast. anyone know what kind it is?

i mean its an electric, but comon, thats the sound you want from a snare!

Can you put a sound file or something please? :D

o sure. it sounds like BOOM! lol



and its not edited to get tht sound, he gets it live also.

Ewww!!

Come back Lars... all is forgiven :P

It sounds like he's hitting the bass drum and the snare at the same time to give it a deeper effect.

what has seven arms and sucks?

Shiva's retarded cousin who got hit by a car?

Def Leppard has 5 members, so that joke didn't work out too well.

I agree.

ah i guess you got me there, they had four members when they started.

I agree with Jazzy. Bass and snare. Or he's runinng some kind of echo effect through the bass mic to the speakers.

He was using Clavia's drum system, Forat's F/16 system, and the Hart Dynamics Acupad system. Basically he just used different types of synthetic drums which were very popular for many 80's bands. As of recently he uses an electronic set, but the sounds are recorded samples of acoustic sets.
