CUBASE and by the way I'm a drummer but I don't see how I could send the records after...the best if you want real drums is to find a drummer near you.

I'm thinking if a drummer is near you, he or she shouldn't be that hard to find.

Hello, I have some EZ Drummer kits if you want, but that's all I can provide. If you give me the midi, maybe I can work something out... ------------- https://soundcloud.com/why-music Prog trio, from ambiant to violence https://soundcloud.com/m0n0-film Film music and production projects https://soundcloud.com/fadisaliba (almost) everything else |

I have Toontrack drummer as well, but it is the new superior drummer. I simply map my drum parts in Guitar Pro and then export the midi to be played through the Toontrack VST. It's more reliable than a real drummer and it doesn't have to try to grasp odd time signatures. ------------- Less can't mean more that doesn't make sense, more is more - Yngwie Malmsteen |

Real drummers are much better if you can find one good enough. ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |

You need to use velocity layered samples to replicate the nuances and timbres available from a 'real kit' and try to imitate the natural rubato from a human player (This is very hard but software like SONAR comes with 'groove quantise' templates which will give your drum tracks a much more unquantised human feel. Good drummers will speed up very subtly and naturally before choruses and climactic points in the music and the whole band will follow them. That's how music 'breathes' innit? -------------

The Abbey Road drums series seems to be among the best stuff you can get in sampled drums . They have different sample sets for 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's (?)drums.

Probably costs a bit.
