Ok everyone, about 2 weeks ago I was on the production tips section and got some advice from you all and this is what I've came up with.

It's just a drum sample to show my mix with a kind of thrash beat at the start leading into some tom work with a blast section at the end just to get a wide spectrum of sounds (kinda haha).

The kind of sound I'm after is the old school death metal metal sound (late 80's early 90's), think Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick, Deicide - Dead at Dawn etc etc.

I used EzDrummer going into Cubase 4. I used the vintage kit to try and sound 'older'.

Any tips on how to achieve that old school sound are welcome and do you guys think I'm close with this mix?
