Other than taking a couple drum samples and slapping them together and tuning them what are some other ways to get your drums sounding good?
I always struggle with reverb on the drums. Every time I add it, it pushes the drums back. But if I don't put it on, it sounds artificial. Any suggestions?
You need to double the sound on the sound you are using the reverb with.
For example:
- Have one dry snare and then copy that and make a reverb snare
- Push the reverb snare volume back and that should give you the sound your looking for, while still allowing you to have the punch you want.

You can do the same much easier and more effectively by putting the reverb on a return track and using a send to dial in the right amount of reverb in comparison to the dry signal. sometimes you can also get cool effects by putting a compressor on the reverb
