EQ on drums for humanizing

Guy Smith

Per the contest, my trick with Battery is to clone a drum, and for each clone, tweak the EQ on each (i.e., the same snare has four copies with different EQs). The EQs are similar to the slight variation you hear if you strike a drum head in a different area.

Each of the clones is in the same random trigger rotation group. This adds a little to the overall humanizing of drum loops and fills.
