drums and
percussion instruments seem the most elusive to capture with a compelling
sound. Pop recordings are (mostly) driven by an unique and attractive drum
sound. The definition of what makes a "good drum sound" has been
greatly expanded since the advent of drum machines, samplers and the endless
manipulations possible with Pro-Tools. Record producers are looking for the
drummer to drive the "feel" of the song and their drum sound to
"fill" a certain amount of space within the song's recording. Musical
tastes and emotion evoke feel while genre and current trends and fashion
usually dictate the exact "size" and specific nature of the drum
sound. Of course there are always exceptions to any rule.
