Drumming to the Stereo:
If you don't think the drums are in the mix, just compare with the original album (and watch for mistakes, which are about the only time you can hear drums). I didn't edit anything, so all mistakes are there. I had a bad mic on the floor tom that was clipping, so the cymbal mixer in some songs wasn't up enough to hear.
Quote from Buddy Rich, "That's a wrap folks, good night!" The drumming to the stereo part of the project is over.
