Cheers for the feedback, all is appreciated.
I know what you mean about drum machines or samplers, they really suck when referring to rock music; they just never have the same feel as a live drummer (despite all the headaches!!!). But if I'm honest the recordings I'm doing at present are for my own personal amusement and I'm at the very early pre production stage. I just wanted to improve my drum sequencing techniques and make them sound more realistic than they currently are for demo purposes.
But I'll definitley post some tracks up when I eventually get something half decent finished, it'd be great to hear what you guys could conjure up, thanks again for the advice though
