One of the biggest secrets in the music industry is that drum samples are often used to replace or enhance the drum sounds in the mix. There I've said it! I've spent many years working with other well known mixers, engineers and producers. The things that they've all had in common is that they will use drum samples. The reasons may vary: badly tuned drums, bad drum recording, drummers who hit poorly, drummers who hit inconsistent or the drum sounds, although well recorded do not sit well in the mix. Even the best engineered drums sessions will benefit from some samples mixed in to enhance the drums.
So, I've spent the last couple of years building my drum sample library. Some of these collections cost as much as a couple hundred dollars for one disc. Even though I've had success usings these samples I was never totally satisfied. I would often have to drastically eq or compress these samples to make them fit into the mix. I also thought that the samples were too "tubby" sounding and lacked overtones that should be present in the mix. I then started to make samples myself.
I started experimenting with different drums and microphones. I then applied eq and compression similar how I would apply when doing a mix. The result was drum samples that sound great! The samples offered on this disc are the best of the best. They sound so natural that they can fully replace the original drums without sounding "phony". When I tried that with some of the pricey drum samples they never sounded natural so I always had to mix in the original drums. Since I've started using these samples I've never had a drummer ask for more of this or more of that. I don't even tell them that I'm using samples unless they ask.
The price of this disc is only $49.99. It includes samples from a 5 piece kit: kick, snare, 10'' tom, 12'' tom and 16'' floor tom. There are 5 hits of each drum. These hits are all hard hits but different enough to avoid the "machine gun" effect from using only one hit. All samples are stereo WAV files at 24 bit. The recommended replacement software is Drumagog (www.drumagog.com). These samples have been used on mixes that vary from pop to rock to metal. Some you may have already heard them on the radio. Once purchased samples will be email to you immediately. Make your mixes sound better now!!!
