I hate to say it, but I think the Live Killers album has the best drum sound. It is just so clear and so audible.

I forgot who first mentioned t - but White Man has got one of the greatest drum tracks I think I've ever heard.


Live Killers is great, that's true. It's got a great bassdrumsound. Very heavy en powerfull. It's the best bassdrumsound Roger ever had on stage. But I think the snare is sometimes a little weak. Roger used different snare drumes. It also has got a very musical ride cymbal. Roger plays it like an crash, very HEAVY. Really great.
Welcome to the future of recording drums...

It'll be interesting to see if this takes off, and whether the pickups really do offer a more naturalistic recording of the live drum sound.

Certainly if the hype is trie, these would completely eliminate all the problems mention above, ensuring the same recorded drum sound remains pretty much the same whatever the recording session.

The Jazz drum sound is a shame.

Drum track wise, Rog was on fire on this album, in my opinion. Dead On Time is an awesome drum track, and More Of That Jazz for me, yet simplistic, is a great beat.

It's a shame that, drum wise, didn't perhaps have more of a NOTW sound to it.
News Of The World definitely, Innuendo as well.
I'd say The Game, NOTW, the worst is I think Jazz or Hot Space ;)

best: Queen II and Innuendo.
worst: Jazz and The Works.

To me.

Best: ADATR and NOTW.

Worst: The Works, AKOM, The Miracle, Innuendo. The 80's loud snare stuff just doesn't do it for me.
