panning computer programmed drums

[Phreeck]

im a noob to drums tbf

im recording some songs.

what is the best panning that metal bands use for the most full sound?

thanks!

Generally, you should pan the drums the way they're set up in real life, as in on a right handed set, hihats panned to the left some more, ride to the right, snare center, etc.

Yeah thats the kinda thing i need could you list where generally drums are panned for me?

thanks

The top-most item is left-most, bottom-most item right-most (this is on a "standard rock" set-up):

Left Extreme: Hi-hats
Crash
Hi tom
Centre Extreme: Snare
Mid tom
Second crash (if applicable)
Low tom
Right Extreme: Ride

Remember, even though they're extremes, they're still reasonably centred in the tracks.

Rules of Pan Club!
1. you do not talk about pan club.
2. Center the Hi hats , ride , snare and bass drum.
3. Pan the other drums in even numbers. Do not exceed a 80% pan
4. Pan crashes to whatever sounds good.
5. re pan any part of the kit to whatever sounds good/better

Yeah, use White's plan. On second thought that's better.

:p

I'd pan the hats/ride about 20% right/left respectivly.
