Hi all,
Without asking how much you don´t like this (linked) music, let´s just ask for any recording and mixing advisory for extremely powerful drums (like these), be it with or without drummachines. I would value that a whole lot.
Here are some youtube vids and I am mainly concerned with drumsounds, roughly how to approach the end product.
I wouldn´t ask you to listen to all of this stuff...you´ll get the idea after a while.

Fastforward to 1:20 where the drums kick in.
YouTube - Ich will=
Drums start at 0:34
YouTube - Sisters of Mercy - Dominion
Drums start at 1:16
YouTube - The Sisters of Mercy -- More (BLOODY GREAT!)
Drums start at 0:19
YouTube - MINISTRY- N.W.O.=
Drums start at 1:12
YouTube - Peace Love & Pitbulls - Caveman=
Drums start at 0:16
YouTube - Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds
Drums start at 0:31
YouTube - Ministry - Burning inside
The drums kicks in at 0:11
YouTube - Revolting Cocks-Fire engine
And so, the common denominator is very punchy or for lack of a better word, aggressive, drums. Being novice I´d appreciate some hints of what to look for. I suppose it is not only effects and processing, but also the original core sounds.
Thank you!
Robert
