Tonight I bought a coated Pinstripe and put it on my Birch Custom, and to be honest it sounds terrible. What ELSE did you have on the drums for Deadwing?

That put a smile on my face, I once bought a Yamaha Recording Custom kit and put Evans Hydraulics on it - and guess what - it didn't sound like Steve Gadd.
The thing is - changing your snare head to the same as mine is not going to make your snare sound like the recording on Deadwing. Here's why..
It's not : the same drum the same tuning of the top head the same tuning of the bottom head the same dampening the same snares the same rim the same sticks the same drummer hitting it the same recording room the same close mics the same ambient mics the same A/D converters the same EQ the same compression the same mix engineer
I'm not even sure I could make the same sound again - as it was a few years ago.
