Drum kits have different kinds of drums on them (cymbols/ bass/ toms/ snares)
Both of those tracks you gave seem to be using the snare drum a lot, which can give a sharp, clear beat.

But as for finding more bands that do it, I don't know. Try the 'similar artists' option on last.fm? Google 'bands that like snare drums', something like that? :tongue:

The drumming in This Love by Maroon 5 is partly what made it really catchy for me, although probably not up your alley lol

I've flicked through my iTunesfor ya, check out:
Linkin Park- Session
Def Leppard- Let it Go
Dio- Stand up and Shout

Not their best song, or album. But if that doesn't sound 'sharp' to you... The ****? ;p

A what?

I dont study music.

hitting the snare drum hard...

anyway, yeah man that deftones song is a classic.

I think you mean drumming on tight snares. Maybe Fightstar? (songs like Grand Unification, Tannhauser Gate) Korn? (Freak on a Leash for example) Slipknot? (Before I forget, psychosocial) I don't really know bands that ONLY use tight snares though...

Aye. He's pretty ****ing good. He plays so much more fluidly than Vitek did, I checked out some videos of Vitek playing the same song and he looks so awkward some of the time. ;p

90% or more of my Decapitated listening is just WoC. ;p I think the latest one really is a big step down from everything they've done.

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen a better drummer. You're right about Vitek though! He looked wild at times! I'm a big fan of the Negation tbh. The Fury is just an awesome track!

After WoC The Negation is probably my favourite. I love the Napalm Death esque power rapid power chord riffs and ****. I always have my 6 string Ibanez in C# because... It's the best, but yeah. Playing along to the first four songs of The Negation is fun times.

Eh, I just went to do that and turns out I musta learned The Negation in my sleep or some ****.

dat riff at 3:10 ;oo

What I don't get with all the 'technical' metal bands out there these days that everyone loves is why they seem to have to be technical purely for the sake of it. Bands like Decapitated, Gorguts, Spawn of Possession; they're all pretty technical but they actually have good riffs, and groove, and the kinda **** that songs should have.

I hear ya dude. I can't do bands like Nile. Too much tech not enough balls. You should get yourself a 7 string - I picked one up the other day... :sexface:

Don't really know what you mean but this is my favourite drum heavy record. Pretty dark video as well. This song is sampled in untold amounts of hip hop tunes. A band of sisters behind the scenes of hip hop....

songs with sharp drumming
