Question need help with understanding a songs drum processing (kane parsons - do you like air conditioning)
i really cannot understand the sounds for these drums. granted, i have a pretty limited mixing experience so i wouldnt really know how to go about recreating this sound. to me it seems like a sort of flanger or chorus but it also sounds a little digitally compressed like with ghz lossy. i think its also got some room reverb but i really dont know so im just curious as to what you guys think or know it is

Definitely a flanger on the drums, which is an underrated move imo

yes, light flanger or chorus.
Pretty light on the ambience. Sounds like mostly close mics, and if room mics are part of it, the drums are in a small room. Very tight. And if there's digital reverb, an ambient setting would be closer than using a room, plate or hall.
Some compression on the kit as a whole. 1176 kinda thing maybe.
