Honestly, the drum sound in the first video link sounds very similar to Steven Slate Drums. In the mixing stage you can shape the recorded sound further to your liking with EQ and compression, tape saturation, transient designer,reverb. Seriously, there are many techniques to create a drum sound like the one of Trivium, but first of all its the drummer, the drumkit, the recording room, the miking technique,the mic´s, the pre-amps, skill of the recording engineer. Your mixer uses Cubase and you come to the Logic forum to ask this question ? Thank you in advance and I appreciate your time I'm really looking forward to hearing your hints and approaches to this! Since our mixer uses Cubase 6.0 and I really know that the people of this forum know their stuff, I was hoping to get some general hints and angles on EQ, Compression or other neat tricks to go for. We used 2 mics for the bass drum (close up to batter head and one in the middle of the drum) and 2 mics for the snare (one top and one bottom mic both Shure sm 57). We recorded our album with high end mics, so that should be no issue (don't know which ones, though). So they swear in their making-off that they did not use any trigger, only real drums and mics. > a vid of the mixing room when he was actually tracking

So here are two links for you to get the idea (unfortunately, youtube butchers the quality): So I wanted to ask you guys how you would mix a bass drum and a snare drum like on Triviums Album 'Shogun' (which is, of course only in my opinion, one of the best drum sounds for metal I have ever heard). I'm in the studio with my band and since it's our first album I'm orienting myself towards other mixes.
