Jessica and Noam explore the iconic drum sound from Amy Winehouse's "Rehab," known for its crunchy, lo-fi vibe with a modern low-end, reminiscent of hip-hop records. They achieve this using a 70s Gretsch drum set and a single Shure SM57 microphone, emphasizing its precise placement to capture the essence of the sound.
To shape the sound, they employ Pultec EQs, boosting and cutting frequencies to add low-end and manage high-end clarity. The use of an Otari MTR90 tape machine adds saturation and transient control, creating a vintage yet energetic drum tone.
