A nice groovy riff...

Forgot how much I love this song until it came on the radio today:

YouTube - Grady Hammer In My Hand Video

Saw them live like 5 years ago and it was a huge wall of Ampegs behind both of them. Awesome.

Well, mainly because of the fact that the frontman's well-known for his previous band:

YouTube - Big Sugar - If I Had My Way

YouTube - Big Sugar - Better Get Used To It

YouTube - Big Sugar - Diggin' A Hole

Damn, radio rock in Canada used to be awesome Back when Big Sugar, Big Wreck, I Mother Earth, The Tea Party, Our Lady Peace (pre-Bob Rock), etc. were all over the airwaves.

Wish I could figure out how to Add ring to a snare like in the first video (using Superior Drummer 2.0). The slingerland snare rings and I tune it to sound similar, but I can't bring the ring up in the mix. Tried transients and eq'd the hell out of it trying to find the frequency.

Sounds like a metal snare of some sort with loose snare wires, and the right compressor settings. Too far, though, and you get St. Anger

No idea how you'd achieve it in S2.0, haven't tried yet.

The "Heather Jacks-Take The Blame" sample sounds close on this page: https://www.toontrack.com/products.asp?item=72

Yeah I agree too far and you get St. Anger. The snare in the original video is Perfect, just enough ring. I've got pretty close in SD using the Slingerland snare, tuning it up quite a bit and fooling with transients and what not. (Fooled with it a long time last night) and i've got the ring, it just doesn't have the crack like I want, and kinda has a tom-like overtone at the end.

Hmm that Take the Blame track really does sound like it! Wonder what snare that was...

Found it, its from the New York Studios expansion (which I don't have of course )
