Just curious to see what people's preferred drum tone(s) might be, why you like them, and some example drummers with that kind of tone.
I personally love the late 60s-70s tone in general. It always strikes me as jazz-based, although it's definitely rock, with higher pitched toms, thinner cymbals, bright snares, and delicate, intricate strokes. I love Mitch Mitchell's sound and playing. I still wonder how much of the bias is due to the recording equipment of the era...but anyway I love that kind of sound.
Any others?
