My latest instrumental.. trying to nail the drums. How do they sound...?

Hey all,

I've been working on a new instrumental. Well, it's actually a re-work of a track I first attempted 20-odd years ago. Anyhow, what does everyone think? Have I nailed it?.. I'm trying to get the drums to sound 'decent'.. Might have over embellished in a few places..

At usual, I'm mixing on my trusty DT-990 pro headphones.

Thanks,

Ben.

Recording drums in my home studio - journal thread

It's my first post on the forum so - Hello!

I'm starting this thread to show my journey with learning how to record and mix drums in my home studio (and some bit of music productions too), so any advice and tips are more than welcome!

Here is my latest recording:
Some grooves inspired by my almost half-year stay in Central African Republic.

Summer Romance (with real drums)... general critique please.

Here's a new song that's part of the same adolescent song cycle for me (this one's about the summer between grade 10 & 11). It's the second song where I'm working with real drum tracks. I've still a bit of vocal clean-up to do (a few pops and "k" sounds and mouth sounds etc...) Any direction otherwise on this - more of a macro focus for now as I've still some work to do with the track.

Check the Bricasti's out on drums!

Oh Ya! 2 Bricasti M7's are better than one lol:

I just did a mix for a guy on the slutz for fun. Spent a few hours, that's it. I didn't get all the track either so a bit is missing from the original. Not trying to get too involved but it was more to play with the second M7 that I just added. Listen to the drums on this compared to ITB. It was so easy to do this.
