Recording snare to tape has been one of the biggest eye openers for me. I think out of all the drums, this is the one that tape imparts the most "magic" upon.

I'm about to bounce a bunch of previously tracked (to digital) drums to tape, so I should be able to let you know what my impressions are about the tape before digital versus digital before tape thing. My thought in the past is that it shouldn't matter even though I've read many people say that tape first sounds better. Based on a quick test I did the other day, let's just say I am keeping an open mind.
