Only given a few listens, so I can't say much except that the drums sound very natural and the Sonor kit seems like a good fit to general vibe. Did you drop a stereo AIFF with all the drums right out of DB, or did you split things into different drum tracks?
This is probably the only song I've done recently where I did NOT split drums onto different tracks. It's a lot of work to do that, and this one sounded OK without a lot of extra futzing around. When I do split things up, I'm usually using the original NSKit. I stopped using the version 7 of that one because the toms sound wrong. Sort of "spitty" or "fizzy" on the attack. Splitting sounds, as you all know, is a hugely time consuming effort, and it's one of the last things I'll do. I want to make sure all tweaking is done beforehand, since it's virtually impossible to edit patterns without all the instruments in one song file. I'll usually create just three files: Kick, Snare/toms, and cymbals. My logic is that much of compression and reverb that sounds good on snare also works well for toms. Kick is mostly dry, but requires different eq than everything else. Same for Cymbals. Echoing your previous comments, the ability to isolate drums on export is the highest thing on my wish list at the moment. Thanks for listening! We're working on more, too. Most of it seems like it will be in this country/rock/whatever sort of vein.
