bpjacobsenDoes anyone have a better preset for the Rush Moving Pictures drum sound? I have the recreationmix one but it leaves more to be desired. Looking for some help with getting a better match to the snare sound. If anyone has one they can share, please let me know. Or at least can provide some pointers and a starting point. My libraries are:
Core
Death and Darkness
Modern Metal EZX
Legacy of Rock
Fields of Rock
Progressive Foundary
Also, Signals or any other Rush drum sound you might have
drumjack52What would help is having the drums Neil used. Here’s a link to what he used on Moving Pictures: http://andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/drums/drumkits/moving_pictures.htm
And here’s a link to the parent site which has album cover pictures of the Rush albums. Click on a cover to go to the page that lists what Neil used on what: http://andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/drums/drumkits/drums_history.htm
On both albums Neil used what he called ‘Old Faithful’ which is a 5.5×14 Slingerland Artist Model snare with candy apple red finish, a 3 ply shell and 8 lugs. Interesting that his drum tech was not Lorne Weaton but Larry Allen.

But I don’t think there is a snare in SD3 in any library matching that snare. The whole point is to try to find something that closely resembles it. Was hoping someone out there might have a preset they can share as this is a pretty darn popular album for Rush. Not sure where I would even begin to mimic that sound especially since no library would appear to have a Slingerland Artist Model snare with candy apple red finish, a 3 ply shell and 8 lugs. LOL
drumjack52If you’re trying to copy the snare sound on those two albums you are SOL until you find that exact snare (and the heads that were used). And the rest of the chain that was in use. Even for me being a huge Neil Peart fan I would go with the snare he used in his DW kits rather than try and copy something from an album. But try and find a wood DW snare in an SDX – I seem to remember one but not the SDX it was in. Would love to have a complete wood DW kit from say the Time Machine or Clockwork Angels tours. There is a DW wood kit in D&D which I use to cover Rush stuff but the snare is metal though. I am NOT buying an SDX just to get a wood DW snare.
