heh... all i've got is a lowly xp-10 and m-bd1. i feel so inadequate!! soundfonts help me deal with the trauma, tho...

i'd be interested in hearing from anyone who feels the way i do... namely, that developing truly authentic-sounding, i-thought-that-was-a-live-drummer percussion sequences is absolutely critical. i didn't use the m-bd1 on most of the songs on our first cd (URL in .sig), but did still try to get it as realistic as possible. (of course, there's not much you can do with an sr-16...)

i'm sure there are tips and tricks i haven't stumbled upon yet, and would love to know how to achieve some things... like, for instance, getting a decent roll out of the toms. no matter what i try, it invariably ends up sounding like a collection of individual hits in rapid succession... there's gotta be a way to get it sounding better than that.

any ideas, or pointers to sites addressing this area of sequencing, would be much appreciated.
