Cool secret for a BIG drum sound!!

I tried it last night on a couple of tracks and it works really good!
First, setup your drum track to be dry with compression. Now, if you have Sonar you're in luck cuz the Lexicon works really good on this! Ok, first setup a Lexicon reverb setting, I liked the "Bright Tiled Room." Set it up with a really fast gate on the decay so when it hits it goes wwWHOOMP! and then nothing. I can't remember the exact settings right now but I'll post them when I get home. You know the sound I'm talking about. Set it to where it juuuuust makes the drums sound bigger, not too much. Next, open another Lexicon, (yes two reverbs) I liked the "Bright Ambience" for this one and set it at about 10%-16% mix depending on your taste. Then lastly, just add the Cakewalk EQ and go into the presets and use the "UAD-421" something like that, it's one of the last ones and add that on there, and voila! You should now have a huge drum sound that will bring Jon Bonham back from the dead...

Stop giving out the secrets! LOL!
That is what my old SPX-90 (Gated Verb) and SPX-990 (Stereo Verb) are for...Drums dat go boom...
But...a little in front of that advice (I agree, 2 verbs is often a must for drums) Have you seen this demo? I must admit my chin hit the floor when I heard what this thing does for drums...Check out the Video demos...This is before you ever hit the reverbs...And to think I was putting money in the mics...![]()

Oh, alright.
Oooooo, I remember those SPX's. Dude, don't sell it whatever you do!
Man, you really love the UA stuff aye? I have been checking it out, too as of late. Great stuff! Especially that Neve package! I really like that video they did with Neil Youngs engineer, very cool old green board. Towards the end of the year I'll prolly start getting some of that.
