Hey Greg...yea the drums in this style are not very phat even when turned up; it's basically side stick and kick. This style has no RD/RT and is so slow...60BPM...that it's hard to give the drums any presence. Might have to play with bringing in some RD and see what that does. The production was sort of an AB-ing experiment using Shania's "Home Ain't Where His Heart Is Anymore" as a model, which is really a great song. Check it out if you have it, or go to GrooveShark.com to listen to those drums. It's a mystery.

Thanks for listening and for your nice comments.

Bob
