I don't have the equipment to record acoustic drums right now but you could try sampling some of that Ray Charles stuff if you can. Find a bar or two where it's just snare, chop it out of the song, loop it and play over it. Good luck and thanks for the compliments. Hey Matt,

Any chance of you using just a real snare and brushes. If you get a chance check out some Ray Charles in the mid 5o's, it's just him, piano, stand up bass and a single snare for the entire album..it's heavy and very under-rated. Thanks for your works.

It shows you the tank then focuses on specific fish for a bit. The demo randomly shows you features like that but you can turn it off if you buy the screen saver.

The fish only swim on my wide screen and it does this strange zooming in and out effect and the fish never go on to my 2nd non-widescreen screen :( Cool screen saver but it goes all funky on my dual monitors.
