Lately I've been really fascinated by the recorded drums of many of the Al Green tracks of the 1970s (Let's Stay Together and many others)... I once read awhile ago something about how they were recorded, who his usual studio drummer was, etc., etc. Mostly I'm just enthralled by the many different drum sounds artists could achieve in some of the great music from the 1960s and 70s.
Another great drumming sound came from Kenny Jones and his work with The Faces and early Rod Stewart. I just love it. I think he used a Ludwig thermoglass natural maple kit (?) but I guess we need to acknowledge the talented producers and engineers who did everything and anything to get drums to sound different. Nothing like that going on in today's music. Just a ramble :)
Anyway, opinions?
p.s. Apologize if this has been discussed before.
