Modern rock drums
Am I the only one that notices pretty much all modern drums the last 10 years or so all sound the same? Same homogenized flat cardboard sound. Just heard the new GNR song, Wolfgangs album, same thing. Are they all using drum machines to record?

Cardboard drum kits are a great way to save money.

A lot of modern drum tracks are unfortunately "snapped to the grid" so there are absolutely no time or tempo fluctuations. Gone are the days of CVH where time was fluid and the playing full of life.
But, yes, it does seem like producers are all in love with a certain set of drum tones for hard rock and metal these days. Kind of reminds me of the 80s when so many producers overdid it with the damn gated reverb on snares.
I would hope that Wolf in the future would bring a bigger variety of drums and tones to his music, like his Uncle Al or Danny Carey from TOOL who is one of Wolf's biggest influences as a drummer.
