Hi Folks,
I have a favor to ask. I hired a drummer to play on a track, and I just got the stems. My engineer is out of town, so I can't ask him to preview them. What I need to know is: are they well recorded, that is, are mic placement and other factors solid so that my engineer will have a reasonable time mixing them?
The stems are here:

Could someone load these into Sonar and let me know your opinion? Note: I'm not asking anyone to mix them, just for quick feedback on how well they are recorded. If they're solid, I can get another track going with the drummer.
 
Thanks so much,
Ben

anyway you can slim these down ?
300MB (11 samples / @ 25MB a piece) is a lot of data to download just for an opinion.
If you can mix a dry track and upload it I will be more than happy to test it out.

@chuckebaby: Yes, I made them mp3s, just 70MB now. Thanks!

Also, here's a rough mix of the whole kit.

These are really nicely recorded. I'd be really happy to get sent this stuff to work with.

@John T: Thanks for the feedback. Did you listen to the mix or the individual tracks?

Both. The individual tracks are all fine. Sounds like good gear in a good room to me.

I can't speak to the tracks in the context of your song, but I'd say that those are some well recorded drums.  I have recorded and mixed many drum tracks over the years, and I'd be more than happy to receive those track as my starting point.  A quick check for phase and minor clean up, and your engineer should be off and running.

very well recorded. All clean airy, and the kick is nice and warm. If you got this for about $100 then I'd say you got yourself a deal.  Please include contact of drummer. Thanks

Thanks to all, I greatly appreciate it.
Now I can move on to song 2 of 3!
