Returned into some SF action tonight. Went through lots of drumsamples and as a result I think I already found quite likely the final main snare sample. Could be the same with bassdrum, but not as sure about that yet. Also found handful of pretty lively sounding tom samples.
I went throught the song # 1, swapped & added drum samples - and also created machinery toms there. To see how it feels. Did a quick mixdown of the song for test listening and it feels pretty good. The matter of toms is still open - it could be machinery or live. Depends pretty much on how Timo feels about that.
We have come into conclusion though, about how the drums will be done. Originally it was thought they would all be live drums (with lots of dubbing and studio experiments) but ... the tempo in these new songs is so furious (varying from 200 into 300 BPM and even above occasionally) that it would be a huge job to do it all by live drums. So, ... the idea is that I'll do the bassdrums and snare by machinery, and Timo will be playing all cymbals, hihats etc steel'y things live over the machinery drums. And the case of toms is still open as said; they could be machinery, or they could be live over the machine drums.
In any case, it's certainly making this release different and exciting, that's for sure.
