How do these drums sound...

[ratsapprentice]

I have been trying to get some drums to sound similar to those in this song...



At the moment they sound like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13342996/103 - Drums.mp3

Not exactly the same mind, but just a similar style.
Do they sound anywhere near ready?
I'm sure that there must be something I can do to get them closer...

This is completely done in SD2, no other samples were used.
I haven't humanised it yet either.

Congratulations, you're part of my "Occupy The Zero Reply" day. So here's my contribution to your question.

First, just having a drum track without hearing it in context with a song and trying to make an informed opinion on the sound is kind of futile. As it stands right now, I'd never take your track as anything else than an exercise in drum plugin programming sound-wise. But put it in context, and maybe this opinion would completely change.

However, there is a bigger problem in your track and it's the 5-limbs drummer syndrome. You have cymbals hits that shouldn't be there. That's the first thing I would do: Think like a drummer, not an octopus.
