METALLICA's ULRICH: Drum Sound On' St. Anger' Sang Back To Me In A Beautiful Way
METALLICA's Lars Ulrich recently spoke to the U.K.'s Rhythm magazine about the origins of the "distinctive" drum sound he achieved on the group's new album, "St. Anger". "The famous drum sound everybody is talking about," he said. "One day I forgot to turn the snare on because I wasn't thinking about this stuff. At the playbacks, I decided I was really liking what I was hearing — it had a different ambience. It sang back to me a in a beautiful way. It just felt totally natural. The backlash came when some people heard the album and said, 'You know, heavy metal snares aren't supposed to sound like that.' Well, I guess I must have skipped over Chapter Three in the Heavy Metal Rulebook [laughing]. It's crazy, that kind of closed-mindedness."
"On this last album, even though the drums are really up front, there are no many drum fills. I got bored playing drum fills. I came to the conclusion that I didn't have any more exciting drum fills to play, so I'd rather not play any at all. So I go through these cycles and different priorities."
