Is it just me or does the sound of Matt's hi hat sound really different than normal? Like on the song inside job really sounds different, just wonder if anyone has noticed the sound of it at all like I did?

    I agree, especially on "Severed Hand." I don't know how that man does it sometimes.

    I dunno, its just that some songs the sound of his kit sounds really different type of sound to it, Not bad in any way just very different, I wonder if he used special kind of sticks or hardware on his kit at times.

    according to the CD booklet...three drummers contributed in the studio in addition to matt...so that could be the reason?

    I don't think so, I think that was just like "drum tech" type guys......

    That's just "In Studio Crew", which means drum techs.

    There's a variety of reasons why the hi-hats sound different. He could have used different types/brands on different songs, the hi-hit mic could have been positioned differently, or perhaps they did some engineering magic on the console.

    matt has been known to use ambient mic's to so that prob has alot to do with it. I think matt's drumming is superb on the album. but i know he uses all dif size/type cymbals all the time so he migh tof just switched to something else on it. I just think he should go back to straight stands on letterman his cymbals were flying all over the place.

    yeah those are just studio techs listed in teh back of the booklet. i love how there is one guy to handle all of Ed's, Mike's, and Stone's guitars and Matt gets three guys for his drums! brilliant!

    Its a Metallica album, their most recent which caued a major blacklash by "fans"

    The snare drum had no snare on it the whole album, and overall the production was crap, but it was intended to sound that way. Also the drop c guitars killed it, along with no guitar solos.

    You guys gotta be kidding me. Matt's drumming is SO BORING!! That fella has no vibe, no groove, no spirituality in his drumming. Sure, he can pound his skins hard, but thats all to it, nothing else. Just like a robot or a drum machine. And he has to resort to changing drums or using studio effects to make his drumming sound more "interesting"? That to me is just covering up his BORING DRUMMING.

    Boooo!!! Matt Cameron SUCKS!!

    Jack Irons is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Matt!
