Reverb on toms and snare?

[dave davies]

The drums in the intro to this track seems to be a Floor Tom and a snare. Is there layering and reverb going on there also?

Try a gated reverb or a Nonlin reverb on kick and snare for that "explodey drum sound". This sounds like a more lofi example of that classic 80s drum sound.

I have Fruity Lops DAW, how do you mean 'gated reverb'?

Common way to do gated reverb is set up a send track with reverb followed by a gate. The gate should be set to where it kills the reverb tail abruptly.

Easy peasy way to do it in FL is to use Fruity Convolver and cut off the tails of the reverbs on the impulse files to suit, e.g delete the highlighted bit;

BTW Dave, I'm a huge Kinks fan! Hope you and Ray are getting along these days!

I'd stick the drums through a guitar amplifier plugin.

According to that YouTube piece, the dry tracks (vocals and bass) were centred but the wet tracks (drums and guitar) were panned. However she also said that the vocals were close -miked and "buried in reverb". Is that a contradiction?

Besides wet or dry, what's the difference, it's all in the mix and is reverbed up just the same anyway in the end?

Close mic the vocals, but bury in artificial reverb. No contradiction at all there. Happens all the time in pop music production (using the broad definition of "pop" music).

Surreal Machines Diffuse has a some great gated reverb presets.

The new reverb plug-in from Wave Alchemy named Glow does gated reverb amazingly-well on drums and vocals. The advertising throws the phrase "iconic sound" around quite a bit, but after some use on my own tracks, they have earned my money and respect. Pure nostalgia and two thumbs up!!
