QUICK TIP 5 - DRUMS TO THE FRONT...
A simple trick which will change the way your drum track builds and introduces itself;
Set your main drum loop(s) to start 4, or 8 measures early in your track than where they should start with a very high level of reverb (soaking wet !), now gradually sweep this almost all the way 'dry', across the 4 or 8 measures
Once the loop reaches the point where it is totally dry this is where you can start the main drum break of your track, hence the reason i stated only 4, or 8 measures before.
What this will do is create an effect of the drum sounds coming from the back of your speakers/room to the front and therfore becoming more dominant.
Combine this sweep with a parallel sweep of the cut-off on either a HPF or a LPF to create more of a fade in (try both ways in your track for variety).
Also, try killing/silencing the final measure of the sweep to create the dramatic effect of much fuller and heavier main drums.
Hope this makes sense and is useful.
