Bon Jovi - Tico Torres Drum Sound For Livin' On A Prayer | Recreating Iconic Drum Sounds

Since day 1 in 1983 Tico Torres is the drummer for the American rock band Bon Jovi. With hits like You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, Bad Medicine or It's My Live they wrote rock music history and became one of the best selling bands ever. But what is the secret behind Tico's drum sound? We grabbed a modern kit, some cymbals and a pair of drumming gloves and tried to get as close as possible to the original drum sound.
