Any goths out there? -> Harsh-, Industrial-, Aggrotech-Snare – Sound Design Forum

I know there are hundreds of how-to-snare-questions to be found here, but after a while I gave up realizing, that most people have a slightly different opinion on what “distorted” and “harsh” means. I’m talking about Hocico, Suicide Commando, etc. and that’s what I’m after.

I tried countless hours to reproduce something like that. I used different snares as a starting sample, I added distortion and reverb (and vice versa), I even layered noise on top of it, but I just can’t get it to sound right.

How do you do this? What is your approach?
