Drum sound

[Heabow]

Hi

Time for a new mix now. I received some tracks to work on and the drums sound pretty good. I just spent an hour on them but it's a good starting point imo.

Kick is 100% replaced - Snare 70% replaced - Toms are 100% natural. There's only EQ, comp and VCC + T.racks clipper on the master buss for loudness.

I'm looking for a natural sound. I'd like some feedback - especially about the low end.

Cheers!

Edit - oh and some reverb but you noticed that

Hey,

to be honest, it's sound not organic enough for me. And about the low end, it needs more punch, try to equalize the kick around 75 hz and for the "click" around 7khz. You also can try to use a transient designer to give it more attack.

Thoughts?

needs more cowbell

Seriously though, they sound 'OK' for what they are, but the million dollar question is how do they sound in a mix? There's not one be-all-end-all drum sound that fits perfect in every mix. Post a song using it in a mix and then tweak them from there.

Not bad. But it is very hard to judge drums via a solo drums track. Although it doesn't sound that natural I've noticed that a lot of drum tracks from rock band moggs and guitar hero moggs also do not sound natural but sound great when in a mix.

+1, no point in rating the sound of drums alone

Sure, but I'm just at the very beginning so no guitars/bass yet. Some guys have already posted here drum tracks alone (thinking of Ermz and 2 others right now) and wanted to know how they sound by themselves to you - just as many do with guitar tones.

I'll post more clips when the guitars and bass will be reamped and processed. Thanks!
