RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride (200 + edits, creating a real drummer feel for verses, open hats for chorus and pre-verse energy vs. closed hats for dynamics and vocal support, adding cymbal hits, inventing/creating the 'right' fills in the right places to support each p[art of the song...and most of all MULTING the KICK and SNARE in about 100 places using real drum samples) I also 'created' certain fills with BFD samples (such a drum snap at 30 secs and all 'stops'). They were thickened and EQd to sound punchy.

Still the coolest part of the tune is the bass. When you hear a full, tonally, phrase correct bass (without BIAB warble) it just makes the rest sit right IMO.

FLOYD: Hey buddy, you must remove that 'breath' at the start of the song! Ha! laugh .
I would love to hear this tune with a different 2 BUSS mastering. Something with greater transparency to maintain the dynamics to a greater degree.

Cheers!~
