In recent years my drumming style has been hugely influenced by Decapitated - machine gun bass drums with a machine line feel - just powerful, dominant bursts of double bass. It doesn't surprise me that it sounds a little too rigid as that is the style. Also, they do sound electronic, particularly the cymbals. I like an electronic kick drum sound, and I like reasonably electronic toms, but unfortunatly I can't get away from electronic cymbals. :(</p> curson – thanks for the comments.

Actually the only thing I can say not 100% positive about it (after just 2 listenings) is that the drums is really feeling a lot <em>electronic</em> to me: it's just too timed and perfect, seems fake :p But maybe it's just my perception of it that's wrong. Good job! :) I'll look for more of your work.</p> I can feel the Pantera side of it, but it’s not just like because of that that I like it.

There is indeed a pounding bass guitar in there, I justthink I made the same mistake that Metallica did on And Justice For All... :P</p> <p>This is a lesson in mastering - it sounds awesome on my studio monitors - just not on laptop speakers. :P</p> Yeah, it does sound a little weak in the bass area.

I agree with #1 that it lacks of a bass, may be with little distortion (the song remembers me to Pantera, so a distorted bass should fit :D).</p> <p>Kewl song.</p> Yeah, nice song.

Great song! BTW, a little question, what app did you use to sample the drums? I still haven’t found any that made me happy with the results…

This is the first time I’ve heard your stuff since the old days (“dead of night”), and I must say your production and guitar skill has really come a long way. Hats off. I like the clickety Ray Herrera-style drums!
