Gated Reverb On Drums | Home of Drums

Everyone can fight me, I think gated reverb is great and no other drum sound will come close. You can’t change my mind

As a layman on drums, I think it creates a surreal atmosphere. Which amplifies the genre of the song. Romantic songs became more romantic, and so on. I love to hear 1980s in the dawn, the gated drums sound so warm and wrap up the rest of instruments so perfectly.

Phil Collins wants to know your location

This is what my cheap electric kit sounds like by default. It’s fine for some situations but I hate that I can’t make it sound natural >.<

Too much cymbal & snare when I’m listening for the toms

I can't tell much difference...

I simply love the gated reverb sound!
I wonder why did bands stop using it these days?

reminds me of the beginning of Dont You Forget About Me

How do you only add the reverb to the snare?

To properly make use of this effect, you need to amputate your arm and play overly basic 4/4 patterns.

Reverb aside, that's a killer sounding drum kit.

You got that voice that sounds like an elderly man in a young person's body

Awesome vid! Saves me tons of listening/trial and error and ultimately time. Thank you!

That floor tom is fire.

Cool sound! \m/

Love it

Why would you say “reezo” head when “reso” is short for resonator or resonant?

Are you playing Sledgehammer?

Nice but not quite what a gated verb sounds like on '80s records. Plus, instead of that amount of muffling, you could've taken the tom resonants out...

Jeff Porcaro used a gated drum noise on Stay The Night by Chicago in 1984

the head band detail is priceless!!!!!

For anyone wanting to hear some badass gated drum sound check out the Melt album by Peter Gabriel... Phil Collins plays drums on some of the tracks and has some kickass parts!!!

What's a reezo head?

Yeah, it's a bit cheesy, but it also means you can put shitloads of reverb on and thus make the drums sound enormous but not have the whole drum mix lost in a sea of reverb. I like it.

Eyyy

Really? Really?! You do a demonstration of gated reverb and do not, at any one point, play the icon 'In The Air Tonight' drum roll by Phil Collins? I feel insulted.

that gated sound drums sound like 90's, 80's and 70's, No matter how if you find the sound of Linkin Park (Hybrid theory) sound!

I think it’s important to treat the drum sounds as much as possible, pretty much like auto-tune for people that suck at singing.

um "reso" is short for resonant head...what is a reezo head? and for that matter what is the point of this video?

Pour some sugar on it.

If you have a problem with your drums sounding good, we can fix that

With Phil Collins as my favorite drummer growing up, I have a special place for the gated sound.
I wouldn’t use it myself unless covering a Phil tune since it is so iconic to him.

Terrible sound. Not a natural sound.

Wasn't that Stewart Copeland's secret? Or was it something else? Just gate? Best sound in drums in the 80s in my opinion. A major factor in the Police sound.

This is why I can always tell when a band playing a mid-level venue has brought their own soundperson.

I'm a huge fan of the sound before reverb.

The toms all sound the same almost🤣🤣 I kinda like it tho

even completely muffled and without the reverb,
the snare drum sound fatter and more alive
than the BIG FAT SNARE DRUM heads I've heard so far..

This narrators voice could use some gated reverb.

Always Hated this sound and type of recording !!! The 1980s !!!! Ugh

Gotta love 80s drums!

Those heads sound very good to me!

I can feel it...coming in the air tonite....oh lord....

The Karate Kid on the skins.

great video. I love that 80s gated drum sound.

Great job fellas !!!!!! Nice sounds for sure.
I always wish that drummers would play the same thing, with dynamics, and use the whole kit in a way that we can really compare sounds before and after. But then again...they are drummers (drool). Lolololol

Tom's sound like it came from starship

Awful sounding.. and not worth the time , money and effort

Anybody agree that they sound very clicky?

Thats Nick collins on the drums.phil collins son
