datune · 17th December 2008

Hello,

I have been listening to a song called "This is your life", from a band called Switchfoot a couple of times, I never heard of them before, but hotdamn, the sound of this song is unbelievable, the drums are like out of this world, the whole song sounds so incredibly good sonically, I really would like to know who laid hands on this track, and how they did it.

Especially this big, huge wall of sound (toms) at 03:27, how did they do that, how did they get the toms at that specific part to sound so unbelievably huge (I can't imagine widening and eq'ing alone is going to achieve this).

Any info much appreciated, I searched before posting, but couldn't find anything relevant.
