Hi all

I’m looking for a great, natural dampened drum sound for SD3.

Think Beatles Abbey Road: come together, Pink Floyd Another brick in the wall

Really prefer to have drums with tea towels and dry. It seems the two options are Decades and Hansa. Anyone here have experience with both and can attest (or not) to being able to get that vintage fat round sound with these kits?

XLN audio have a decent kit with their Vintage Dry pack but it seems you’re locked into them being already mixed and I really want to stick with toontrack if I can.

Check out the Dry Room kits in the Fields of Rock SDX.

The both you mention are great expansions. However, Decades may be closer to what you are looking for. I find Hansa to be more of a modern type of dry sound (which works for me in many instances). If you feel the need for both of them, get the SDX bundle and you can pick a third SDX, such as Fields of Rock (another great SDX – perhaps a little dark for Abbey Road but would probably fit well for The Wall type of sounds) as mentioned by Scott.

Thanks so much. From a lot of listening of the demos, the Decades sounds like it might be the most flexible – a good range from natural and open to really driven and fattened. I tend to go for lower velocity with wider dymanics and enhance the bloom with some processing.

Never considered fields of rock – might be better for more hard hitting stuff and like you mentioned, Hansa does sound more modern.

Gosh, now I’m tempted for a bundle – didn’t know about that haha

Really appreciate your responses! Cheers!
