but I want more prominence from the snare specifically, or maybe a little more unique sound/style(?)

The Snare Drum! The Snare Drum!

http://vimeo.com/4714814

I love it, it's such a unique drum sound

Mostly on the toms though, but the snare is pretty thick sounding and crisp. I remember seeing them live back in t' day and the drummer played his snare with the stick in his left hand flipped round to make it extra heavy weight:

Cool video also.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqyc37aOqT0

Good call.

Appropriate user name btw.

a couple CAN songs too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a1NhRbNJ_Y

That Antony song was solid too.

i remember really liking the opening to this and then i was like lol, no.

some hip hop.

Busta Rhymes - Get You Some (produced by Dr Dre)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRSehnq0TfE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ao3Z5I6FI8&feature=related

you really need to listen to the intro to get the full effect of it's lameness though.

Also, the bubbling mu'fin Bass Drum on this

I dunno, kill me if I'm wrong or something

Lots of reggae tracks I remember start with a nice little roll.

Robert Marley and the Wailers - So Much THings to Say
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3184494547288921682#

I bought the instrumental version of that LP for that song alone. Love the snares.

The snare is pretty repressed in the mix on that Dolphy track, but the drumming is out of this world.

I need some Neil Young in my life.

One of the only good songs on Big Bang.

That bass is so perfect with those drums.

Best snares in hip hop.

the lil snare roll before the blasts in Concubine - probably the most badass song moment ever

Having trouble remembering my favourites but these two spring to mine for their similar placing of the snare:

Petre Inspirescu - Sakadat

Oracy - Bass Mood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xHwiMjt6xQ

Not to be listened to over shitty laptop speakers.

Even better in stereo when all the sounds are popping between the speakers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9IRwVyQAc0

Unfortunately, it's not a very good recording, so the drums don't sound as crisp as they should — like machine gun fire:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9IRwVyQAc0

The rest of the album has a similar drum sound. Unbelievably, the album was critically maligned on account of the drum sound!

that second link was meant to be this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9IRwVyQAc0&t=180s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luKIphsp4lE

Snare is great but to be fair the toms probably outdo it a little.

The new album cracks like crazy too, he loves himself a kick and a snare and has definitely crafted his own sound with those.

of the kick while still maintaining clarity.

J Dilla. Listen to the lot of A Love Moment by Tribe Called Quest and you'll hear some of the best (and loud) drums in rap.

Love

I like the seemingly sporadic timing of both. The second link's snares sound a little warmer, real nice like though.

What was the beef with it? Not like its St Anger.

I love the drum sound, and Seance is easily my favourite Church album, but some people are a bit sensitive about these things, including the band themselves:

-"Most notorious among the fanbase and band members themselves is the heavily-treated drum sound, the work of mixing engineer Nick Launay. This somewhat fatal flaw has resulted in Seance being considered sub-par by some followers and given it a comparatively dated sound. Despite this frequent criticism, the tracks "One Day," "It's No Reason" and "Now I Wonder Why" are often considered standouts among the band's material."- (wiki)

never heard of Church btw.

They're an Australian band, so that would ordinarily be understandable, but the Starfish album and "Under the Milky Way" were smash hits in the US:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-mQyRuHIuA

Then again, this was '87/'88, so it's probably understandable after all.

and really haven't listened to much rock like this, especially from the 80s. Not that I am opposed to it, there's just a lot of catching up to do and other stuff interests me more atm.

I had never heard of the Libertines and I think DiS thought I was trolling, well Zapsta anyway.

Still haven't heard a Smiths song that I know of.

Converge was so good you had to link it twice, huh? Race In is very easily my favorite Battles track. Helmet have the best drums.

Alright JP, alright. Pretty good snares, I admit.

but Smiths surprises me.

I was waiting patiently. Nice.

it's just coz you is American that I thought you would have.

I really haven't done a deep dive into (indie?) rock prior to the mid 90s. I hated most anything with that 80s sound until about 4 years ago when I decided there was some good stuff there to be heard (after hearing Disentegration for the first time). I've got some major holes obv., but I'm not sure I care to fill them as of yet.

Sade - Soldier of Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbZzgwn-DHU

The whole LP Butter by Hudson Mohawke has some cool snare work.

No One Could Ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igu1XkEeUnI

shit

Septicflesh's drummer is off the scale. One better than a blast beat - footpedal controlled snare for triple speed blast beating. Mental.

http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2011/03/septicfleshs-hellblast-technique/

But the Petre tune is definite personal favorite. Any track that has prominent snares and weird shit gets a thumbs up from me.

Probably my favourite drum track ever - so simple and repetitive but you FEEL the drum hits - also it helps that the rest of the song is great too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woKyGavzW0Q

This Here Giraffe, Spoonful Weighs a Ton, Race For The Prize ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjHAQ-OfAf8

That's probably still my favorite JT track, put Clipse on the map too. That snare is bone dry and as tight as a frogs arse.

Forgot how he used to rock the bandanna under the trucker hat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sqC1WAzHn4

Gotta love that red wine/CTRL V combo!

I probably also meant this for the intro:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjZMySPcQfI

Also, not necessarily a song, but some of the best snare work I've ever seen. What a shame he's whoring himself to Pendulum.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b98BJ36K1wo

PS for the record, for the money they probably make, I'd whore myself to Pendulum in a hot minute.

Although it's written as "Esoterikku". Their drummer is incredible.

plus the tuba is fucking crazy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le4hvkJhCTc
Synthetic snares are good too and Mannie Fresh is the king of those 808 rolls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXqjy7rWXPI

revolved around Mannie Fresh's drum rolls. He created such a unique sound at the time, producers have been ripping it for years since.

Most of their stuff, mainly Around the Fur.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-UhfVDAEf0

Most amazing snare drum EVER. never heard something with so much crack in it, it's all because Dave Abracadarazzuezbra or whatever his name is was one of the best drummer of the 90's.

pity the rest of the song isn't that good but he's a fuckin monster on this track.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-8H3gE9dUo

Grohl!

there's depth to go with the crack, which is really quite rare. Love the track as well

and raise you another:

Soundgarden - Let Me Drown

I think Superunknown's drums are unparalleled, Matt Cameron was on one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rDWEMZG0lE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcQYgrm6Vv0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZGvnI37mxk

especially sound and vision
especially the little roll fill at the very end of the fade out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kaz1y2z2OE

even if it is quite digitised, the snares in the middle are superb.

His work on Head Down and Mind Riot is amazing, I sat in my room learning all of Badmotofinger and Superunknown before getting completely stumped by those mothers.

Felt like my insides were being rearranged. In an amazing way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5oecKJ6g7c

from What Burn Never Returns. Such a fucking awesome drummer is Damon Che. Listen to the ring on the snare, particularly at 1:15. It's sounds like no other snare drum i've heard.
