Once again, love the lesson, and have been applying everything i learn from this channel as much as i can. I actually am going to try out the whisper yell trick today on a track i'm working on. I like to refresh my memory right before I apply a technique by re watching the videos, i find it helps to catch the subtleties that might not be apparent immediately, but are very important for replicating an exact sound, I think. This is definitely one of my favorite channels.

Something I realized ( as a drummer, and live sound eng)... dancing shift happens on the beats 2 + 4 (snare hits)... not on kick ( 1+3).. a lot of guys have crazy loud kick drum mixes... they are missing the boat... once I realized this - I found my mixes sounded better with more snare than kick.

Yes, Bobby - yes! Today's pop music - it can be Country, Contemporary Christian, Metal, - even (to some degree), EDM - the most important 'ingredients' are the vocal and the snare! These are the two elements we humans latch on to as anchors for sonic identity. Great example: "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals. That "paper-bag-pop" snare combined with the vocal makes it 100% rememberable! That's how a mediocre band with a so-so tune find their way into the "classic" category. It's an overlooked art today - finding snares and vocals to overcome the graveyard of music.

So, Dr. B, I have a few EZ Drummer packs, like three I believe as well as MT Power Drum, I feel like all of the snares collide with my vocals (the snare seems to amplify my sibilance issue as well). Is there a way to EQ the snare to get it out of the way or should I seek out a snare sample that works with my vocals and my musical style to begin with? I kind of know the answer already, but I really don't want to buy any more junk. >.>

Of course he would have. But he has to work within the confines of what an artist can do. Phil Collen may not have been comfortable with finger picking..so Mutt found another way.
