I took this down because of people in this forum sharing unreleased work with others on social media sites. I'm not even going to take the chance of pissing off my clients if this gets leaked.
It's both actually. I love trying to keep the natural drums very present, but I did blend in some Superior samples on the kick and snare to help. Even though I used samples I still love the challenge of trying to get the best out of all the mic's and actually USE them in the mix. I went with the original toms because, well they sounded great. I just needed to automated the volume on them to make them pop in the mix. I also did some tricks with a transient designer to help get some more attack as well.
