Video Not Working? Fix It Now

I've been dragging this video for a while but I finally got it out. This is the process I take to make sure my drums swing, knock, and sound good (for boom bap at least). I don't use all of these techniques 100% of the time but rather when it's needed. I hope these tips and tricks help you out.
