Now I know nobody in the US knows who the hell Nick Launay is or even cares, but this dude has made some incredible sounding records full of character, so give this a chance…

Check out the video from 1:18:23, he explains his approach to drum sounds.

If you’re impatient and you want to hear it, skip straight to 1hr 24mins, where he plays a demonstration of what he’s talking about.
