New to me thanks for posting. They had a bunch of tunes I liked but man those drums just kill it. Completely the wrong sound.

There are some good songs on the album but the drum sound was terrible. Also agree about the guitar player.bazarboy75 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 8:25amTotally agreeMarky Dread wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 6:18amNew to me thanks for posting.

Completely right. Drums on their record is a mess and many songs are a little bit too radio friendly.Marky Dread wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 6:18amNew to me thanks for posting. They had a bunch of tunes I liked but man those drums just kill it. Completely the wrong sound.

Perhaps we should commission a Mohawk Revenge-style redo?Marky Dread wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 6:18amNew to me thanks for posting. They had a bunch of tunes I liked but man those drums just kill it. Completely the wrong sound.

Yeah the drums really ruin what could have been a great LP, I always assumed they were programed by bernies drum machine to be honest....Telecaster wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 4:06pmThere are some good songs on the album but the drum sound was terrible.

Not a lot out there, though I seem to remember one posted on Wolfgang's Vault, of all places:I might be a lazy fucker but are there any good (ideally SB) boots of H3AM?

I taped them myself on four occasions -- the best of these is from a two-night showcase that they did at the Borderline (1/22-23/90), when they were trying to get signed. I can do a transfer of it, if you're interested.
Gary Myrick had a deft touch, no doubt about it. The album is good, but doesn't quite capture what I remember seeing live, which is where they flourished.There are some good songs on the album but the drum sound was terrible. Also agree about the guitar player.
There were two different drummers (three, if you count the latter-day lineup with Gary Myrick only, if you wanna be technical). Travis Williams is the guy that's on the album, and I remember seeing live, but was only considered a fill-in drummer -- Stephen Klong was the guy they originally recruited, but couldn't fully commit, at the time.
The way I remember the difference is that Klong actually did the US tour in early '91, and was playing a conventional kit, whereas his predecessor used the electric one -- I'm assuming it was their way of trying to be cool and current, though I don't remember seeing any other band of that stripe using the setup that he had.
