Let's not dismiss the fact that to get GREAT SOUNDING DRUMS right away, they need to be recorded properly. Well tuned, EQ'd and Compressed nicely. On top of that, they need to be played well.
If you have tracks that don't fit into the "recorded well" criteria, then TRIGGER 2 PLATINUM by Steven Slate will get those drums sounding awesome.
In this video, we finish adding Trigger 2 to our Floor Tom track.
Full disclosure, I am not affiliated with Presonus or Slate Digital and I make no money from them to advertise their products. I just like them alot, and I know you will too. :)
Keep Making Music!
