I use detune and stereo enhancer on hats, snares,claps, and open hat. Im going for a certain sound. some of the great trap producer i looked up too on here used a similar method i just havent figure it out yet. i used flang on the synth along with detune.
I don’t understand how people are gonna tell you how to produce , if you can make it work then yea, put detune on some drums. I’ve used it for my hats , and snares came out just fine. Kicks on the other hand .. that’s a negative. But it’s totally up to you to use.
Drums, especially with trap, are supposed to be tight and a little punchy. When you add detune, that takes away the punchiness, and usually makes drums sound like they were recorded on a broken microphone and then played back on an old and dusty record player
