Thanks, all of it. (Mostly a bass player, but start all my songs with a drum beat at the kit, with the guitar in my hand. Not a good drummer but really into beats & pauses. The bass is the glue.
My strategy has always been get the drums in REAPER all sorted & then go. Like my simple kit so much but can't do the turn arounds yet so between it & EZ drummer the drums come together. Won't hit record if the drums aren't the main inspiration in the song
