I'll be using the new acoustic agent in cubase to replace all drummers from now on, haha
Can you choose what colour wrap you have on the shells?

Lol. Seriously, maybe you're the problem if you can't get good drum sounds or a good drummer to work with you.All drummers are shit.
The ones that are good are busy because they're not shit.
I can make a shit one sound good...
...by editing and replacing all of his drum sounds.
Repeat endless cycle
That's the real problem. Music editing is just too easy nowadays than that you'd actually have to be able to play your instrument well so I feel like nobody gives a rat's ass.
Besides a session drummer, I haven't had the pleasure of recording a drummer that could give me a drum track that I didn't have to spend a day working on.
inb4 predictable snarky response
Don't confuse polish with high standards. Digital editing has made it simple to overcook a mix, and people use those bells and whistles because it's there, it's easy, and they're lazy. Why use drum replacement? Because it's quick and easy and you don't have the skill to record a drum kit. That's lower standards, not higher.I'd say quite the opposite. The amount of polish that goes into a modern record is absurd. It's the whole reason that we use drum replacement software in the first place.
If our standards were low, we'd be bashing at a shit drum set with a one mic setup and not care about perfomance issues. Instead, we go for this overly perfect alternative.

Everyone knows that stuff. You're not providing any enlightenment. You said "all drummers are shit", and that may be true, but I'm telling you why you are probably shittier.
Then why is everybody always riding the "old stuff is better!" - hype train if there is a sound reason that we all agree on anyhow?
Recording a drum kit isn't hard if you have decent gear. It's the preproduction of getting the person, teaching the song and the aftermath of editing that I don't like to deal with.
If I could whack it out like you, I'd be a bit happier with my recordings as well.
So don't blame drummers, blame your own lame ass self.
I don't think anyone is saying "old is better". We're saying "real is better".
If I ever have decent recording gear and my drums still aren't working, I might.
I don't think anyone is saying "old is better". We're saying "real is better".
Okay, cool. But you should start sooner instead of blaming others for your own massive inadequacies and failures.
Schwarz, dude, you just need to let it go, do the best you can with what you have, & keep going dude...You need to thicken your skin up & not pay any attention to the midi comments dude...I use 'em myself, it's the only option I've got that's here, guarranteed 100% of the time....Are they as good as having a real kit??? No, and you're never gonna fool any of the real drummers into thinking they are real, but you've just gotta do the best you can with what you have dude....
Lol. Was just a hyperbole. Christ.
I can record a drumkit perfectly fine and I can find a drummer with a space and stuff if I have to but it's a huge time investment that I don't always feel like putting into this hobby.
Lol. Riiiiiiight, that's what it is.
For the record, I've NEVER cared if someone uses drum programs, E-kits, sample replacement, or whatever. No one gets it more than I do. I am a drummer after all. I know the noise, space requirements, cost, and difficulty of recording real drums. I only jump on stupid comments from stupid drum programmers that can't/haven't recorded real drums and act like they fucking know something.
I agree. I accept that as a reference to me but all I can say is that I know that I've recorded various drums and percussions before for different styles in different settings for other people's projects.
Just like you, I also tend to jump on stupid comments. Like Bubba's was.
I'm learning to play drums on an Electric Kit, using midi for better sounds, with an aim to one day be good enough to have a real kit, mics and to record real drums. It's an ambition and really good fun learning.
I use midi as a means to an end but I would always prefer a real kit with a real drummer.
Same here dude....I actually bought an e-kit just to use with my midi drums, & I have to admit, it's helped me understand a lot of shit I was struggling with, but banging on the e-kit has taught me a lot already....Like I never thought I hit harder on the snare when using a ride cymbal, fuck, I never even thought about it, but you know what? I do, & have learned lots of little shit like that...
Me too, I'm quite amazed at how much I have learned so far. (I had a few months last year with a borrowed kit from a friend and got my own last week) So many simple things. I'm really enjoying learning too which is an added bonus. I didn't want to just buy a kit in case I didn't get on with it and luckily I have a drummer friend.
I never thought about the Snare/Ride thing but it's true. I do as well. I guess it's down to having more freedom of the stick when not playing over the snare on the HiHat. Interesting.
I love the drums. Always wanted to learn and I'll enjoy my journey with them as I have guitar, bass, piano, etc.
