If that's the worst snare sound I ever hear on a record I'd be very happy.
So much new stuff sounds like stick on paper - all attack and no shell
resonance.
It's a very live sound on the drums, which is very hip with the kids these
days (lots of room mic, etc.). There also seems as if there might be
something clicky/rattly overdubbed on top of the 2 and 4 snare hits (but not
the fills).
I'm more a fan of the tea towel/wallet snare drum sound, but I'm notoriously
out-of-step with hipness.
