Lucas Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I prefer the sound of the entire drum kit when listening - a wash of cymbals and all - as opposed to having each drum so specifically pinpointed and eq'd Caress Of Steel and The Debut for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Barchetta Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 This is one I can answer without a shadow of doubt in my mind! (very rare on here): Permanent Waves. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 This is one I can answer without a shadow of doubt in my mind! (very rare on here): Permanent Waves. I agree! There are several very good candidates...but Permanent Waves is the very best. It doesn't get any better than the whole first side and also Natural Science, for drum sound. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil gives us plenty of those flourishes, too- I think he almost incorporated more of those into their '80s albums than he did in the '70s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Moving Pictures had the most pure sound of any Rush album. The drums are crisp and pop in all the right palces and the keyboards don't muddy up the overall mix. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coventry Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 This is a dark horse, but the drums on Vapor Trails are very well produced. In fact, I prefer the original, non-remastered edition. The remastered has some cymbal and other parts cut out entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Pew, open yet tight and crisp not compressed too much, natural.Counterparts a close second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My vote goes to Counterparts. The drum set and the dynamics of that album are phenomenal. What do you guys think? This is also an excellent thread. I love "Counterparts" but I'm going for "Hemispheres." For 1978 a given. I mean really? Just listen to that crisp triangle. The highs are highs man and the lows are low. Just like life. I will let you know this and I am not bragging because I never made it big in a rock band but I play to "Hemispheres" every night on my drum kit when I get home from work.I have all the correct equipment to play this album except for the bells in "Circumstances." I am serious Rush Forum Friends and Family. Playing to Rush albums on my drums is keeping me balanced and sane. I would rather play my drums every night than be with a woman. Well I got my wish right to those who know me? I am paying for my freedom and it is worth the price. "Something For Nothing" is fun to play to as well. I would love to start a real Rush Tribute Band but I don't want to break down my big kit every weekend. Right or wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
