Drummers, any out there?

celtaidd	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 7:36 PM Must admit, I have a problem adding Drums to my tracks, are there any drummers out there? By drummers, I mean real ones, not programmers.

leedsquietman	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 8:02 PM I know of a great one, Peter Nergretty, www.live-drums.com who will give you amazing quality tracks, except he's a pro and won't do it for free. Then again, he has spent about 25 grand on building his drum studio, with top quality drum mics and acoustic treatments. He drums on my Shoot The Moon (Apollo mix) http://lqmdemos.dmusic.com/music/comments/336967 But tell him you know me leedsquietman from the cubase.net forum and he may do you a track for the price of his CD (15 dollars), which is actually excellent btw. He sends you pristine 24 bit .wavs with different micing on snare and kick plus independent overheads, hats and toms etc.
leedsquietman	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 8:06 PM www.live-drums.com www.nergretty.com links to Peter's drumming and music. I recommend his service but realize you may be holding out for a free collab first !!
celtaidd	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 8:15 PM Thanks for the info mates, but,being totally skint, (wife, two daughters, 2 dogs, 2 cats, mortgage, my 4x4,wifes car, eldest daughter's car, "hedonistic lifestyle"(sarcastic bit ) and poverty ) I'm trying to get them done as a collabs or free. I know its a long shot, but we live in hope
leedsquietman	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 11:43 PM that's why we tolerate the scatty behaviour of them, good drummers are in short supply, you find one you keep him/her, even if they're crazier than Keith Moon, unreliable, stoned, bipolar, sh*g your girlfriend or whatever... a lot of allowances are made for stickmen out of necessity...
evansorchid	Date: June 4, 2007 @ 11:54 PM Scott and I have used the services of a couple of guys we've met over at http://www.artistcollaboration.com Steve Gardner did the drums on Bullseye. http://stevegardnerdrums.com/ ...and Jman did the drums on Are We Having Fun. http://www.96decibels.com/bandSite/jman/index.asp Scott was the one who enlisted their services. They are both professional studio and gigging musicians and they like to have the song structure pretty much completed before they'll attempt to track it. But you'll need to be prepared to synchronize a bunch of separate tracks (snare, kick, toms, etc...are all on separate tracks). You can note me if you need more info.
leedsquietman	Date: June 5, 2007 @ 9:50 PM Seperate tracks is great ! I loved having 12 tracks of drums to mix and compress and EQ and add fx to, in the long haul it's worth it, plus if there's an element/elements you don't like, tools like drumagog allow you to replace the sound but retain the natural timing. It's a good idea to add a basic drum machine drum track, or at least some kind of click or metronome b4 submitting material for drummers and the fewer timing changes or tighter the tempo, the more likely they'll bite.
