perhaps, this belongs on a separate thread, but i'm trying to work out why exactly this process often involves replacing the original drummer
it's so common, it's become an arhetypal rock'n'roll story
is it to do with the difference between live playing and recorded drums
after all, it doesn't seem to happen (as much) with other instruments
in my experience, the great drummers i've worked with have all translated well to tape, but not always to the "hit" level
maybe the clue is contained within the word
is "hit" drumming just about hitting the kick and snare hard on the alternate beats, and everything else is detracting from that feel?
i don't want to make this personal, but instead talk about it in a general production philosophy manner
could you elaborate on this phenomenon?
