In this Reason drum mix tips video Propellerhead product specialist James Bernard give you some tried and tested engineering tips to help get your drums punching through your mix.

It may seem redundant at first, after all, drums are punchy by their very nature so why do we need to MAKE them punchy if they already ARE punchy. The simple answer is that when you layer other instruments on top and everything starts fighting for the same sonic frequency space, your drums can get lost in the process.

Through proper EQ, compression, and parallel processing James shows how you can lift your drums back out of the mix and have them punching through your song exactly as you hope for.
