Alan, I love loud drums and this is just right. You nailed the GM tone , the eq and the delay + reverb fit perfectly. Great mix. I surely did enjoy it! Feel better, Tom
HI Tom ...
I agree. I think if the drums are produced correctly, they can set more up front and give many songs a nice edge without being overbearing. As far as achieving the Gary Moore sound, the hardest part was getting the delay right. His delays were short but very conspicuous. They didn't trail very long - one measure didn't appreciably intrude on the next.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for letting me know.
Best to you ...
Alan
