He’s just what a drummer is supposed to be, I think.” I mean, that guy’s feel… and I know this from sitting through rehearsals with him… just his personality, everything he’s like… my favorite drummer. Deftones drummer Abe Cunningham “is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated drummers.There are some other interesting tidbits in the interview, too. My favorite entrance to any record I’ve ever done was that right there – just like, ‘Here we go.’” I think that was my favorite drum sound that I got with the exception of the two hits at the beginning of Around the Fur album. White Pony is still my favorite just because of ‘Digital Bath’ and because I reference myself to those drums at the beginning of that song, that drum sound. But the immediacy of the dirty laundry is so apparent when something is new like that. I’m just now starting to like Pantera records! And that’s overdramatizing, of course. I have to get so far away from it to appreciate it. “Well, you know this from doing this for so long, after hearing a record so many times in a row, it takes me ten years to actually like a record again.
In a new interview with (a website dedicated, I assume, to all things having to do with recording), Date was asked if Ohms “will be new favorite Deftones record.” Naturally, as part of his answer, Date had to reveal which Deftones record is currently his favorite: I’m just sayin’, y’know, the guy’s opinion has heft. Oh, and he also mixed the first two Slipknot records.
He is also, you oughta know, a legend in his own right, with credits that nclude all the good Pantera albums as well as multiple releases by Soundgarden, Avenged Sevenfold, Limp Bizkit, White Zombie, Prong, Staind, Buckcherry, Bring Me the Horizon… the list goes on and on.
