Question for those who quantize Audio Drum Tracks

Recently I've been trying a new method of getting that all important drum sound. I've been quantizing all my individual drum hits and replacing them with samples.

I really like this method becuase it gets everything sounding nice and tight, and it seems easier to get those tom fills sounding nice and even.

Replacing drum tracks with samples/Computer question

Ok,

I downloaded the Drumagog demo and I like the plugin , but the demo samples are cheap sounding. Does anyone have this plugin ...is the full thing worth the money? Is there a better way of replacing drum tracks with samples? The drum tracks I tried it on didn't have the best timing so it made them a lot worse and cheap sounding. probably user error.

Bandwidth of My Raw Drum Tracks Seems Narrow

Hi there,

This happens to me over and over...I tune and mic up my kit as best I can, but the raw tracks in their relative balance seem very puny(lacking top and bottom) compared to the sound of my raw guitar amp(Les Paul/Mesa Tremoverb/SM57) and P- bass DI tracks.

The latter instruments come across much richer and louder than the drum tracks for a given peak meter reading.

moving individual drum tracks into better phase

Being a drummer myself, I'm always looking for a better way to record drums. The other day I tried recording individual pieces of my drums and then sequencing them in DP3. It came out better than I thought it would. I used an Audix D4 inside the kick (I have Tama Starclassic Maple drums which are awsome) and a tube condenser about 3 ft away.
