Bachus- I totally disagree with your opinions on drums. Please listen to any song on my reverbnation site and listen to the drum tracks. Everything you hear was recorded in 2002. I have not had one person save the drums sound bad. They may say the music I created sucks, but no one said the drums sound bad.

Many people forget General Music had a on board hard drive and the ability to syncopate samples with a arranger keybord, scroll notation & lyrics in 1998.
