Thanks dimitri! Yes , I agree with everything you say , being a guitar player I can get around with a Mix of amps and/or emulations , a lot of effects now are a plug-in , making it easier and easier to have a professional setup on a reduced space. That doesn't happen with drums at all , you need a nice , room , a nice assortment of mics , at least 4 channels for a Very minimal drum tracking approach . 2 Oh , Snare and Bass drum.. etc etc , it's a whole art in itself to get a good drum sound . I personally don't like programmed drums at all... in some styles it works better , but even then I'd rather have someone play it and then do some crazy EQ and editing .. just my opinion though ! Cheers! and thanks for your comment!
