[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 39065, member: 42"] Re: Bigger than life drums? Things that can make for the big rock god drum sound: 1) decent levels of drums in the drum fill, drum fill sub a must. Polarity counts 2) very mild compression on kick/snare/toms 3) a decent verb on the snare & toms, I usually use a drum plate type preset on a TC processor Of course, well tuned drums and a drummer that knows how to smack the drums solidly is a big help. Dave Rat has written at least of couple of articles how important it is and what a difference in the mains that having good drum fills makes for that 'big' drum sound. The extra resonance it generates really makes things sound huge, even when you gate things. In fact if you do gate, it can really help fill things in. Greg [/QUOTE]
