I don't think it's possible. At least I don't know any software to do this.
This is the reason because all instruments are usually recorded with no FX. You can add always some FX while you're mixing the song. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

It's not possible to remove the reverb (at least not that I know). And once you compress the song while mixing, it will only get worse! So I think you must re-record the drums...

No way to remove the reverb. Bad recording is a bad recording. Doing anything later in the mix will only get worse, so what you hear is what you get basically.

yeah, bad way to record drums... I don't know how to erase the reverb and I can imagine that it wouldn't be easy

The best solution, as people have already said, is to re-record the drums.
However if you can't then there are a couple of things you could try - afraid they won't be 100% effective as you can't remove all the reverb particularly the reverb in the mid region of the wave rather then the tail. All assume you have reasonably advanced understanding of studio effects/techniques in software and hardware. 1) Reverse the wave and put a gate on so that it opens after the reverb tail. Then reverse it back. With the gate it's the threshold control that you need to focus on - probably a setting of between -50 to -10 with medium attack. 2) EQ - use a parametric eq, with a Q of about 4 and sweep the recording to find out what frequencies are being enhanced by the reverb and then cut those. 3) Spectral compression/harmonic balancing - same as for 2) you look for what is being enhanced and cut and enhance those which fall below the base line dB to create a smooth dB spectral curve. 4) Manually edit the entire drum track to remove the reverb tail via cut and paste. 5) Use a stereo width effect set the 'wide/width' control as low as possible and the track will appear as mono. Mono tracks sound as if they have less reverb. Or just pan it to mono - same thing essentially. 6) De-convolution - record a convolution of the empty room, and use an inverted filter of that impulse through a convolution reverb modeller to remove the reverb. Note though that this really needs spot on mic placement to get right and avoid distortion. None of these are easy by the way and some may take a lot of time and a deal of patience, care and some skill and an awful lot of A/B comparison (particularly 2,3,4 and 5). Last time I did harmonic balancing manually it took me about 2 hours for a 3 minute track but maybe I'm slow  . 6 could be fun but may not work at all and if you could record the empty room you may as well just re-record the drums.Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
