Resonant filters are my new best friend.

I've been having problems with some pretty terrible drumsets and trying my best to make them sound good. Resonant filters have been pretty helpful, i've noticed, for making toms sound waaaay better. you change how long it resonates and even change the tuning a bit and then mix it with the original track. Still not as good as the real deal, but helpful in sticky situations where toms sound like wet paper bags.

Fun! I can't wait to try! Thanks.

A lot of reverb helps to go for the natural sound. If you take out the dry and make it mostly resonant filter, you can make a bass drum sound like a "hip hop" bass drum. I was pretty excited about that.
