I have a serious problem with percussions, i made some loops and no matter what i add, eq,reverb,compression or what i remove they never seem to fit, tehy sound too low or too high, there must be something missing, cannot sound like in the songs i´ve heard precussions. Some advice is more than welcome. |

maybe it would help to cut the releases of the samples, so that you have shorter hits.
next thing i would recommend is to fool around with pitching and non linear-reverbs (maybe gated)

Anything goes with percussions.. Personally I dont use reverb, but sometimes i use a flanger with a high ratio and shifting, so that it "disguises" a bit the harshness of the high freqs.
Try all sorts of stuff... For example: If its sounding too simple try maybe adding a little delay to one of the sounds... You know.. Experiment  |

Play with the volume envelope, makes big difference |

That seems you're in the right way, just dont forget to make shure that each drum sound is correctly tuned with the track. try a detune or some pitch correction vst something can help..
Anyway, everything comes naturaly im shure soon you'll be more satisfied with your stuff

Hi...
Get a good set of Samples and a decent quality Plug-in to play them, use a Gate and proper EQ, if you use Compression beware of the dynamics ( too little they won´t pump too much and it will kill them ), use Reverb as a send ( and use as much as you like).
Same as Delay, Flanger & whatever are used in a personal taste.
Hope it helped...
Cheers
