just a little snippet

sorry for noobness, what does flat mean?

In this case, flat kinda means everything sounds even in your drums. The kick has no punch, the snare does not smack at all, ...

In French we use the word "relief" (which has nothing to do with "being relieved ..." ), which means some stuff is emphasized.

To have good sounding drums you need to eq the different elements to emphasize some aspects of each element to get something good in the end (like having some low-end + clicky kick sound for kick drum, etc ...).

Don't know how to explain this correctly cuz' English is not my mother language.

This is flat :
