"Yes, it’s all Craviotto. I was hung up on vintage gear for a long time, and I had a ton of stuff in my garage. I used it all on Sam’s Town. At the end of the day I settled on Ludwig drums and various snare drums–Supra-Phonics, a 6 1/2×14 Leedy Black Elite, Radio Kings, and a Craviotto I had. But Day And Age is all Craviotto."

"Live, I wanted to get a different hi-hat sound, so on the first gig for Sam’s Town I had an old 18? A Zildjian ride from the ’40s and a K Constantinople crash that I put together for a pair of hi-hats. That was the winning combination. And there was one track where I used two 22? K Constantinople rides, one high and one low, for the hi-hats."

With Vannucci manning an Apple MacBook Pro equipped with Logic Pro 8, the band recorded rough versions of the songs and sent them to Price, who edited, rearranged and otherwise manipulated the tracks from his London studio. “Sometimes these demos would be re-arranged three or four times until we felt like we got it right,” says Vannucci.
