i get the best results when i get a great drummer to play a great sounding kit (of course!), then just make the kick and snare "larger than life" by blending samples in w/ the original. note that you often have to go back and manually align the samples w/ the original drums for optimum phase mojo.

So you say that Nashville is ...uhm... "drumagoged"? Wouldn´t have thought
that drum replacing is widely used in Nashville... Since there is not much
rock music going on... Well, except for one studio, but MW gets great
drums without replacing...

Do your clients ask for it? Or do you offer/suggest it to the client?
Would like to know more about that!

i don't know percentages or anything like that... but i'd guess at least half, perhaps even 70% get some sort of help from soundreplacer (a friend who does lots of work for majors confirms this to me). but realize that it's (usually) not replacing the kick drum entirely! rather, it's simply adding another with, say, more "click" on the top end, and/or a different kick with more attack. in reality, it's just eq'ing the kick drum without having to touch an eq. same goes with snares. keep lots of the original, blend in a couple samples, and it's rockin'.

as for the rock comparison... have you heard new country? the line between some currently popular groups and rock is really, really blurred. the production and sonics are identical. take a rock song, add a banjo, turn up the vocal 3dB, and it's a new country song. i'm generalizing, but it's not far at all from the truth.

Wow, sounds like a lot of change in country production...
I will see if i can get some of these new country CDs that you
described. Maybe it´s my new favorite style...

well... it started as far back as the urban cowboy phase, around 79 or so, but seems to have really come in rockin' in the last few years (maybe 5 or 6). that said, you can listen to garth from '93 & '94 and even it sounds suspiciously like a rock record with steel guitar & too much reverb.

but rock sure has changed a lot in the last 5 years, not to mention the last 25. i think that if a genre ever gets stagnant, that's when people run away from it.

of course... with the music scene the way it is now (in all genres), i wonder where they'll run to????

I've *heard* that there's a ton of rock guys in Nashville doing country stuff now.

Imagine a band like The Deftones or Sevendust performing
square dance on their next show.

And imagine the hats and shirts they might wear!!
