Title: My kit samples (so far) have been moved to this folder
Post by: welshsteve on November 15, 2022, 09:36:11 AM
For anyone wanting to try out some samples of my kit, all drums have been moved to this folder. There's a hihat and 2 crashes to be done still, when I do them, they'll be in this folder.

There's 5 toms in there too. 8 x 8, 10 x 8, 12 x 8, 13 x 9 and 15 x 14. All have a rimshot and rimclick versions. All have a small amount of ambience but only the 10 has a dry versions. It was by mistake, but I might make dry versions of the rest in time. It's just a very long process, holy crap!

I noticed on the 8 x 8 rimshot, during the sampling process, it seems like the pitch of the drum changed as I was sampling it. Either that or the rimshot articulation does actually bend the note, I was hitting it very hard, so perhaps that's what it is, but just thought to mention I didn't notice at the time.

Hope you like, any and all feedback welcomed.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried these samples in the mimic pro editor, with not great results I have to say. Ride faired the best and most usable. Toms, okay. 12" snare was okay too. But lacking in something... need more experimentation with the editor perhaps. Anyway the general consensus on 2box modules has been very positive. Drone Tigger Systems (Mike Timms, or Kittoys on eBay) has been very complimentary about them.

Damn, I wished I kept at least one 2box module now just to try these out. Maybe a Christmas present to myself, hmmmm!.

You sir, are a good man. Thank you for making the video. I commented on it just now. I still have another crash to make and the biggest one, the hihats.

Some of these sounds are a work in progress, might need to look a little closer at the layers, processing... the ambience levels etc.

Perhaps I'll go the totally dry route, just a little over heads for stereo image but lose the room? I am not sure... But feedback welcome.

What's the consensus?

Hello Ritchiedrums, which version of Welshsteve's snare did you use for the video, sounds really good.

As that is the best one (IMHO) and the direct for better use live, I may delete the others as having that many version isn't really beneficial.

Hey everyone, just to keep you upto date. I haven't had any time to do any edits to the sounds, been a very hectic time away, now home working crazy hours and gigging all weekends. But, I WILL get around to adding the 2nd crash and doing the hihats.

I will then perhaps redo all the drums, looking more closely at eq, stereo imaging, phase alignments. I will also do a full dry version of the kit too. That'll be just direct and overheads. This will be intended for live use and better for multi channel outputs to mixers etc.

Hello all,
There's a "snares off" version of the SCM 14 x 5 snare in if anyone is interested. I have left the cross stick sound out (for now) but I do have that articulation sampled if anyone wants that too.

But there's center and rimshot, I have tried to match the ambience of the snares on version from ear, but I don't think it's bang on. But in a mix of a full kit playing, may not be noticable.

Hey everyone.

I have just uploaded a Meinl 18" Pure Alloy Medium Thin Crash to the folder. This will orientate on the right hand side of the stereo field.

Just the hihats to do and it's complete (without going into remixing the whole thing again)

I do intend to do completely dry versions of all the drums at some point, just need to take a couple of days out to do it.

I am almost finished cutting up the hihat samples... I hope to be done today. Like I feared, this was the hardest to do. Kudos to Toontrack, Slate, hell, ANYONE that has the patience to go through so many samples in order to give us new sounds....

Will update when it's done.

Just uploaded 2 versions for you to try. This was by far the hardest to do. I had so many samples that the editor was crashing if I uploaded them all, so I had to approximate.

V2 has more layers and I have brought the footsplash up in volume compared the first. Maybe the extra layers will not affect its performance.

Let me know if it's any good or not, I have no way of trying!

Ah thanks mate. I haven't had any feedback off anyone yet to see how it all sounds as one kit. I can only check it in the editor too.

So I finally got to try these on an original 2box set up (with original hihats) and I can see some of the sounds need fixing. There's noticeable silences on some of the layers of one of the 12" toms and one of the kicks. Also one of the hihats is very clunky.. one seems fine. I can't tell which is which as the display doesn't show the V2 part of the second version. 

So as I'm here visiting a friend, gonna try and fix these and will re upload.

I will update here any fixes.
