Mixing “Monday Night Mistake” pt. 1 – Drum Sounds

I agreed to mix a rock song for my buddy Frank Tierney.  Tonight is the first night I’ve worked on it.  Right now I’m plugging the drum part into my Steven Slate Drums sample library to find the right drum kit for the feel of the song.

I really like the Absolute Rock, Big Fatty, Chunky Rock, and Deep Rock kits for their big, boomy toms.  The All American kit didn’t quite have enough of that low end for my taste.  Something like the Crisp Rock kit might be a good compromise, though.  Still has those ballsy toms without being overbearing in the the low-mid range.

Give them a listen and leave your opinion in the comments!
