I am using Pro Tools 5.3.1 and I have Sampletank 2 XL and need some easy ways to make some drum tracks. I have heard lots about loops and stuff, as well as I could run a midi beat through Sampletank perhaps. Can anyone walk me through using samples and stuff, or post some good sites for samples and how to use them. I am just not a drummer.

Hi guys.

I'm new to this forum and I must say I find it quite good and useful.

Hi everyone, I'm brice and am new to this forum.

hey does anyone one know some methods and what not to how john feldman did the drums on the newest USED album - "In Love and Death" i just love the way they sound and and Feldman never fails to make drumks sound bad ass. anyone?

Hi,
I am going to try and track drums day after in my small recording room (10x10 feet). fortunately, the band listens to me and is willing to spend time and experiment (at least till the neighbours start yelling!).

the drummer set up the kit today and we tried a few Micing situations.

this is what I have :

I was mixing a track today and there was very nasty hi-hat bleed in the top snare mic. Usually I let it pass but this was simply too much and I started tweaking gates and expanders with not-good-enough results. I started thinking "there has to be a way..." and here's what I ended up doing:

So I am using Sonar 3 PE. I recorded some tracks with midi drums. I then used my Casio keyboards drum sounds and just triggered them with Sonar. I used the 1/4" stereo out (headphone) out of the keyboard and ran that through my tube pre-amp into my Layla24. They sound ok, but definitely not what I am looking for.

i just recorded some drums and i didnt use any preamps cause my mixer is digital its a Korg d16xd and it has presets on it but i used some if the effects on the board such as reverd compression and some gates but the drums still sound really weak i have a art dps2 mic preamp amp do you think it will richin up the sound. what preamps do you guys use for kicks snares toms etc. .

so we have the living room (around 20 by 35ft) and then my practice space (about 10 by 15ft) ones super dry and the other not at all. which should i do drums in?

Has anyone any ideas of how i can reduce the spill from the hi-hat I'm getting on my snare mic.
