I'm curious what people do these days...I've really been enjoying the drum sounds that Bonobo gets-especially on the album "Days To Come".
He seems to be mixing live drumming and drum machines. Some of the live videos have a full band. Anyway, I can program drums, etc, but when it comes to cymbals and subtle ghosting, etc, it seems like such a PITA and I never really get the results as nicely as I'd like. I don't have easy access to a good studio to have a drummer go in and record loops, but I was thinking I'll bet there are great drummers out there that have access to a studio. it'd be really cool wo write a part and email them a recording from a drum machine then have a drummer learn the loop and record it and send back multitrack broadcast wave stems of the part.
Is this a common thing? it seems like it wouldn't take much time for the drummer to do-especially if he had a lot of work, and access to a studio. Anyone know anyone good that does this?
