Drums: I'm at work and have a bad speaker (yes, 1 speaker and it's bad!) but the snare sound sounds strange here although that might be the speaker too But I'll give it another listen when I get home on my studio monitors and give you my opinion later You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My advice is get something like ezDrummer or BFD and run them through some good compressors/EQ's. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I agree with hisham that its impordant to humanize drums, so each hit isnt exactly the same velocity ( BFD2 got a funktion called humanize) Sounds like you know how you want the drums to sound like, but you need the right software and a bit of tweaking to get a better result.

I would like to try som alternative arrangements on the drums. As Trond already has said, you're either missing the snare or putting it way too low. The drums also seem to miss the hi hat in large parts of the song. I would also cut back on all the double bass drum in the song. Use it in the right places instead of all the time. You need to set up a good groove for the song on the drums as the base of your song. If you're using any of the more modern drum samplers I would recommend using the standard beats from the library and modifying them. If they are well made (which they usually are) they include alot of those little things we non drummers miss out on. That way you can get both whatever bass drum arrangement you want and those small drummer touches that make all the difference. /Marcus You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you get EZD though, for this you would need the DFH expansion pack as well to get this kind of sound. Powerful riff though, this deserves some good drums You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I use acoustica beatcraft, which i really love cause its easy for me to use (And I am very drum challenged), Ill mess around with the EQ, Would adding a slight chorus or reverb be good for the double-bass? Thanks again, Keep the advice coming You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
