To allow more control of the individual parts of the drum kit, it would likely need to be midi and not audio. As such, there are plenty of really good sounding drums synths on the market that already serve that purpose and have that ability. I have several of them myself.


For audio, that would involve having a special drum version of BB/RB to deal exclusively with the drum kit tracks, put them all together and coordinate them in such a way as to make all the individual tracks come together as one drummer playing. Hard or not hard to do? IDK....that would be a question for the programmers at PG and perhaps the very reason why this hasn't happened yet.

I would like to see this too..... to have better control over the drums in the kit. For now, I use EQ and multiband compression to get what I want, or closer to it from the existing tracks I get from the drummers in RB.

When push comes to shove, and I can not get BB or RB to give me what I need, I will either export the midi drums from BB ...or.... allow Jamstix to create a new part for me and then I can edit that part by part, and control the individual kit parts by volume, velocity, damping, resonance, room size, timbre, brand of drum, size of head, and much, much more.

It mostly depends on how "critical" the drum parts are to the song and to some extent, if I'm lazy or in a hurry or have time to mess with the details. 90% of the time the RB tracks will work perfectly.
