i hate the way live drums are recorded in rock(the main genre still using
them). i hate the drum sound on LIVEs lp . i do like the "neverminds' drums
but must stuff today sounds like the drums on LIves cd whiuch my cousin
insist on driving around town blasting. I like Lenny kravitz drums even
before this latest cd (5) .he was going for a retro sound though.Let me
mention that the VH! show on Lenny reaslly reminded me to get his stuff.
some of it sounded trip hoppy actually.
