Hey y’all
I’m still in the mixing phase of working on The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song by The Flaming Lips and I don’t know what I should be doing for the drums. The stems have the percussion split into three tracks: drum kit, handclaps, and assorted percussion (bongos, extra snare, etc). I’m not a drummer so I don’t quite have the ear or experience to know how to arrange the drum track to be fun and approachable. If anyone else has the stems and/or has an idea of what should be played when, I’d be eternally grateful.
Usually play what you can hear. In my disney songs there was a whole bunch of percussion mixed in with drums. I ended up just doing the drum kit because that was the easiest to hear
