After my previous post on the mixing of 36, I immediately came across this post. Regarding the drums on Wu-Tang Forever. And that was only because Carlos did an amazing post on that one too. Including track sheets. One of which some of y’all may be familiar with. The Triumph one, with the subtitle of Soldier’s Story. Which may put it in another light.
Here goes the first question and the response:
Quote from Wu Tang manual:
“As time went on, we increased our equipment and got into all types of efects, synths and processors – Mahley compressors, Behringer compressors, the Nord Lead – it just kept going.(…) And then Clavia also made this thing called the ddrum. So on Wu Tang Forever you hear a lot of that: drums that aren’t sampled but played on the ddrums”.My question is – Isn’t the ddrum an electronic percusssion? So – you play ddrum using samples – one hits from some library or cut from different sources? Can you explain me that…
I just love this album. And I’m listening it from the beginning till now. Thanks.
First I would like to say Peace and Blessings to everyone on this Forum.
My name is Carlos “C12” Bess. Scott Harding and I recorded and mixed a majority of “Wu Tang Forever”.
There is a lot of truth in what Rza wrote in his manual. I never saw or played a DDrum on Wu-tang forever?
Around this time, Rza was in love with a small RED BOX which was a simple Drum Machine with some cool presets of kits.
Rza called it the RED BOX and it was from Switzerland.
Rza incorporated Record Drum loops and Live Drum (Played Loops) within his Drum program.
I played live Drums on “Reuited”, “Little Ghetto Boys” and “Deadly Melody”
