Hello all,
I've not seen this post yet, and am curious as to what other drummers REALLY feel about the phenomenon of albums being released with programmed drums. A lot of up and coming (mainly rock) bands have released their albums with computerized drums, and I find it to be a horrid turn of direction in the world of music.
First, I find that the actual parts being programmed for the albums have no "groove" or better yet, no soul. They offer the deception of groove, but all feel like something is missing...I don't know, maybe a drummer's mind?
I also cannot stand the lack of proper dynamic and tonal changes that are presented when a drummer is recorded live.
Am I being to ruthless here? I find no tolerance in it...but alas, I am a drummer. Of course I feel this way.
