For me Steve Albini drum sounds are the best drum sounds. there are endless āhow to produce drums like Albiniā articles, but no one else can was doing it like him imo. You think of Nirvanaās Scentless Apprentice, and you can feel that super specific drum sound. That distinctive snare. He somehow makes drums sound really immediate and tight while also spacious. My favourite combination is when Albini produces Rob Ellis on PJ Harveyās Rid of Me. Rob Ellis is one of my favourite drummers and the combo is killer. Just LISTEN to the drums on 50ft Queenie (linked).

I couldn't choose between this and Pod by The Breeders but I linked pod in my last rec, so hereās PJ Harvey. I used this record (especially 50 ft queenie) as production refeeence for the drums on my record. Albini really was the master of drum sound. Heartbroken.

So heartbroken to hear of his death. He produced 4 of my favourite records -
PJ Harveyās Rid of Me
The Breederās Pod
Pixiesā Surfer Rosa
Nirvanaās In Utero
My favourite producer and it was one of my big music goals to record with him one day. Iām so sad. If you havenāt listened to his work, please do. Iāve attached Pod which I think is a perfect record.

Masterpiece of an album, Neil Peartās drum beats throughout the whole album are top tier.
