MP's Snare
« on: February 19, 2011, 10:50:59 PM »
Which album has your favorite snare drum sound from Portnoy?

I personally have always liked the snare from SFAM or FII. Although the one from ACOS is pretty close too.

What about you guys?

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Hard question, maybe the Awake one is the best. I like the snare on ACOS quite much too.

Awake has a great snare sound. Also, what's wrong about snare drum on Images and words?

It's a sampled trigger, not a "real" snare.

The Images and Words snare sounds like the drums on a Casio Keyboard.

Fortunately, it meshes well with the album's overall production.

Basically whenever Mike hits the snare on the album it's replaced by a sample, like a drum machine's snare.

Yeah. No matter if you hit the snare soft or hard, it produces the same sound. Popular in the 80s for instance.

I have no real problems with it either, I'm so used to it now. I actually prefer it to the remixed songs on the Greatest Hit compliation.

Same here, never bothered me, even when I knew about it. I thought it was rather bothering that MP was ranting so much on their own best album because of it.

I liked the sound of the snare on the remixed I&W tracks. Portnoy's natural tone is usually too clunky for me. I usually prefer sampled/triggered stuff as it usually cuts through the mix a lot better.

Overall, Train of Thought and Awake.

Certain songs specifically have great sounds though, such as TROAE and TGD.
