You fooled me for a few minutes, there... I thought I was waiting for the compressor, and then i wasn't even in the line..! Hahaha-ha. Say... Do you play percussion, sometimes?
My guess is the cymbals would drown out the sound of the bass drum, he probably done a take hitting everything as he normally would and the kick was nonexistent in the playback
I’m using the same velocities and stick heights, so everything is relatively similar dynamically. If I were to beat the hell out of my cymbals, you wouldn’t be able to hear literally anything else!
