I just listened to the track in question and would be willing to bet brushes are being used and the snare sounds fairly but not obscenely soggy.

I agree with More Space Echo. I have a good deal of experience drumming to click but it took me a while to learn how to do it. If I don't practice or record regularly with a click I can get rusty.

I concur with those who say just about any computer is good these days. I have a non expensive Fujitsu laptop with 2 gigs RAM and a dual core processor.

Reaper has alot going for it workflow wise and makes fantastic use of screen real estate. You can have a mixer and arra...

I always thought R&B was what Bo Diddley did, the progenitor of rock & roll and soul.

Looks like a great film.

I remember hearing this from someone:

?One of my biggest disappointments in life was finding out that a dozen of my favorite drummers were Hal Blaine.?
