Drum Fills

How do I make realistic sounding bongos and drum hits, like in tiestos rmx of adagio for strings just before it all kicks back in. I just want to make realistic drum "flurries" I suppose you you would call them, that sound like they are being played naturally. Any tips, best VSTis etc, would be greatly appreciated.

Thx.

I think samples are the way to go.

I don't want to sound like other people, just want some tips on how to make natural sounding drum flurries. If I use samples, they don't sound very natural. Hence, the reason why I asked if any VSTi's can do this. I just want natural sounding ad-lib drum fills.

I use FL Studio BTW.

Thx.

Samples are going to sound more natural than any electronic drums, provided they are of decent quality. Perhaps you need to get better ones - and once again, practice.

That's not good advice. When someone is starting they SHOULD be trying to copy other peoples tracks. That is the best way to learn. You hear something and decide to recreate it. Your own style comes with time.

Very simple really- learn to program drum patterns..
You can make even the most synthetic sounding drums sound like they are being played naturally if you know how to program them.

Firstly I agree to TVG.. The better way to have professional results is the knowledge and we must try to know how other people sounds are recorded.
Those Tiesto style bongo sounds comes with Reason 3, It's in CD3 for NN-XT and include some bongo fills too.. very good. ok
