Thanks Vic, Colin, and Dave..

I appreciate your kind words, folks. I love this song and told Ricki it sounded to me like a "rainy day hit."

Vic, I used two different drum kits--one panned left, another right. Left had some gated snares and the like, and the right channel cymbals were lending some high frequency sustains to the mix. Maybe it's the lefty gates or the righty cymbals, or combination thereof you're hearing. Cymbal decay can be rather artifactual..that can't be a word..but artificial is wrong too..we'll stick with artifactual, lol..but I can't hear anything like what you're describing.

Thanks again,

Mike
