That's a pretty cool pattern, especially given the jazz
chord backing. Man... you must have spent hours
programming this! Lots and lots of nice accents and fills.
I'm no drummer, so I can't evaluate whether this is
something that could actually be played on a kit with two
arms and legs, but to my untrained ear it sounds
plausible.

I don't know if you are going for an electronic or realistic
feel. If the later I would suggest more variance in the
velocity of the notes. A couple of beats too hard or too
soft here and there will really help the illusion.

Thanks. The drums took about 20 hours to program. I like a mix of acoustic
and electronic sounds in the drum kit, however some more variations in
velocities could be done - I'm still "discovering" Reason :-)
Dave Weckl... I think he can play this kind of stuff.

Well, I'm a sucker for complex drumming. It does make me think of Weckl's playing... saw him with Chick Corea and he blew me away. This sounds pretty electronic still, with the gated cymbals for example, but I like that. My only suggestion is to try to put more dynamic variation in the drums, stronger accents and booms. --D

Thanks. Actually the drums and cymbals sound better in the original Reason
file. That "electronic flair" is partially due to the mp3 compression, I guess.
