Really great. I linked this article back to my blog because it's so good.
Bravo!
I'll maybe add thoughts around HH playing and moving kick drum timing during one measure later.

Wow. Great article. With everything that can be done now digitally and electronically, you still have to keep that human element. I definitely have more to learn to get away from that mechanical too perfect sound to something more authentic.

Good points. I'm working on improving my drum programming skills and I found a great article here:

http://www.petelockett.com/2006/pages/In%20the%20groove.html

He goes in and analyzes the placements of beats and velocities within a bar of drumming. It was a bit hard to follow at first but sitting down and applying some of this to my own grooves greatly improved the natural feel of my programming.

Wow! I've never even got 15% of an article to be exactly true! I've achieved the goal. It's now time to try out major league baseball or bass fishing.

BRAVO! In my 35 years experience ALL of this article is exactly true.
