Here's a number featuring Jamstix2, James Stix doing the honors on the Funk Kit and Percy giving his all on the Jamcussion Afro-cuban kit.
Have been out of doing music for a while but had a few minutes this weekend to put this together. Jamcussion looks very flexible. I've just barely scratched the surface with it. Overall mix needs some fine tuning but it's a good rough cut. Hope you enjoy it.

Sounds great.The drums are getting buried in the mix tho.This used to occur quite often to me if all the drums and percussion are put through one reverb on a single track.
What I do now in Reaper DAW is say send just the snare out to another track and apply my favourite verb to it.This alone gives a nice reverb effect but lets the other drums stay further in the front of the mix.
If I then want some reverb on the rest of the drums but not as much I send them out to a track I've set up as an FX track with the same reverb unit.This way I can add a lesser amount underneath the mix.I use the same reverb Vst for both so as not to get reverb trails clashing which can happen if you use two different makes of reverb VSTs on drums.
My favourite freebie verb is Freeverbtoo,

It is nice and simple and has to me a lovely transparent spacey feel to it.The gate part doesn't work but I've never needed that and have gates anyway. |
