think MIDI with a retro-roots project like that! And I suspect the drummer
would have freaked if I had tried putting triggers on his drums. The moral
of the story is GET A GOOD DRUMMER!!! I tell all my clients that the most
important money they'll spend on their project (besides the money spent to
use my studio, of course!) is the money spent to hire the best bass player
and drummer for their style of music they can find. Almost everything else
can be fixed (God, I hate to say this!) in the mix, but you gotta have a
rhythm section. They're the floor (and the foundation!) of the house. With
a great rhythm section you always know that no matter where you go, no matter
how dark it gets, when you put your foot down there'll be something solid
underneath it. Drumagog can make the floor any color you want it to be but
it can't make it rock solid.

> what's good out there?Yeah, agreed on Drumagog's limited utility in "turd-polishing". In fact, I
find techniques like that sometimes make bad drummers sound much worse; a
nice strong confident kick tone on a part that wobbles and stumbles too much
can be a cruel spotlight.
Drumagog just did a good 'un for me though; we did a live demo DVD for an
artist's new project a while back and the kick didn't like the room all that
much, so I got the engineer to use Drumagog to give a "point" to it. You can
hear it in "Chasing Rainbows" and "Love".
