Re: Realistic drum programming/recording for songs

Hi Per

VERY enlightening, thank you very much for taking the time to write in 
such detail.

The hard quantization seems counter-intuitive but I guess it makes sense - 
though I think that shifting i.e. hihat notes a bit gives the drum pattern 
either drive or layed-back feeling.

Also the ghost notes, "accents"... Makes sense. Just thinking of Steve 
Gadd's snare on Paul Simon's "50 ways to leave your lover" (or in jazz 
pretty much any drummer, i.e. Jack DeJohnette).

So, I guess best drum programming advice is:
Get experience playing some real drums. Then you know what you're aiming 
for in drum programming.

best regards
