How to sound like Deftones - White Pony [Snare Drum Recreation]

The video shows my process to reverse-engineering a drum tone from scratch. From frequency analysis to identify the fundamental note of the drum, to drum size, shell type and drum head selection, tuning, and also some mixing processes, we end up with a pretty awesome result and learned a few things along the way!

White Pony is truly a seminal record and one that has continued to influence my musical choices since the first time it entered my ears. The combination of Abe Cunningham & Terry Date truly created something special on this record.
Who should we do next?
