yeah. well, at least he was when they debuted with psyence fiction. he went solo by the time they released never never land.

I've actually thought about buying a book about how to play drums, just to get some knowledge of how real drummers play the patterns that they do and help me simulate it in tracks.

I'd really like to hear something that you've come up with though.

Yep, the NN-XT sampler has support for velocity layering. And there's the shuffle and groove quantize you can use to loosen up the timing. And then use the Scream 4 device on the drums to give it some warm saturation.

its an amen break sliced and downtempoed, accompanied with some simple drum hits.. easy as that..

what do "real drums" sound like? ive heard SO many real drums that sound SO completely different and unique. and like some of those old school breaks, those cant be recreated any way any how no one can get that same drummer, same drum kit, same mics, same recording room, same fx, same tape/or whatever ppl recordded on then..

i agree u can do it realistic with a sampler and single hits tho, but some of those breaks ur just not gonna be able to recreate similar and thats part of the reason im ok with sampling.

if that really is an amen like the guy above said, good fucking luck recreating that LOL dnb heads have been trying that since early 90s. its just not gonna happen, thats why people are still using it to this day.

of course its not possible to recreate a live performance exactly. not even with a live musician. but you can create the feel of a live drummer using velocity layering and shuffle, etc. i dont think the point is to recreate one specific recording. the point is to make the drums feel as if a human is playing them, so that they have some funk and soul in them.
