Hey all! I use midi tracks associated with an instrument track for drums. This way you can do kick on one track, then snare, high hats, ride, symbles, and toms. Then when you're working on say just the high hats you don't have to scroll through all other drum sounds. Also if you record a track and keep it by mistake you can easily erase without destroying another track in the process. I also use approx 3 percent randomize which gives it a looser but not drastic human feel. When ever I've worked with some of the best drummers in the world you want them to play pretty much on the click any way so this seems to do that. Of course there's nothing like having a Randy Cooke, or Simon Phillips but budgets can be an issue! LOL
