It is not as common today in rock/pop cuz everything is so raw and garage sounding like nickel back
Ehh...maybe we have a different view on what a drum machine is. Many modern bands use sampled hi-hat; clicking sounds that were obviously used as a metronome for the band/drummer. Fastlane, I don't think you're crazy or anything, I think you've figured out the trick of many rock/pop bands, who use your proposed technique all the time. I've certainly thought about it. Has any Gearslutz worked on a session where this sort of technique was done? Please give us some feedback! This has been on my mind, mostly because I hear that sampled hi-hat "clicking" sound or open hi-hat sound that is playing right with the rest of the band...
