Please ignore the first 15 seconds, I wuz just testing things :loco:

And without the doublebass-part, again different EQ (more guitar-fat-related...)

Which drumsound sounds better to your ears?
Overall best sounding?
Also is it too much bass/lowend for your liking?

The difference between these is just some drum compression and slightly altered multiband EQ in the mastering chain.
Thanks! :headbang:
 
Hey....

I just love version 1a..... though v. 1c is good also.... Could you post some details of drum processing (it's Ez DFH, right? ).... Great job, indeed.
 
I like the cymbals on 1a but not the snare
I like the snare on 1b but 1c's snare is the best imo

I think 1c is the best sound one, but the guitar might be missing something... I'd like to hear the doublepass part for 1c
