Latin Percussion with Akai MPD26

[Glennbo]

I just bought an Akai MPD26 pad controller to use for hand percussion and did this short little test.

All Latin percussion was done on the new percussion pad and played by hand.  The drums that come in on the back half of the test were played with sticks on a set of V-Drums.  All sounds are coming from two instances of Superior Drummer 2, one with Hit Factory samples loaded, and the other with Latin Percussion samples.

That’s pretty cool and the gang.  Are you still diggin’ this percussion pack?  Are the verbs on the samples themselves or are you using the room mics in Superior for that?

Thanks.

I’m totally digging the desktop pad controller. For grins I set it up to play my normal Superior drum kit using Hit Factory samples, and then recorded this bit, playing the kit drums via desktop finger pad controller.

I have a full set of V-Drums that I would normally use for that, and really got the finger pad controller to do hand percussion on, but it’s kind fun playing a set of kit drums with finger pads. Oh, and I do have some synthetic verb on the percussion samples, which are the percussion from “Drumkit From Hell Superior”, or Superior 1 as some folks call it. The kit drums in the Latin Percussion bit are using no verb of any kind and have only room sound from Superior for verb.

Sounds like you’re pretty happy with the Latin Percussion Pack. I’m thinking about getting it, but there aren’t that many examples to listen to. Doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of feedback on that product either, unless I’m not looking in the right place.

Cheers.

I’m guessing that what they sell as the Latin Percussion samples for SD2 are a derivative of the samples I have which are from SD1 or Drumkit From Hell Superior as it was called before SD2 came out.
