Request – Punk Expansion

[newfoundjeff]

I use a lot of the Toontrack expansions for music. I write and record tons of country and death metal. But I was raised on punk. I think it’d be just awesome if maybe a Punk expansion came out.. Featuring drummers such as Travis Barker (Blink 182) Cyrus Booloki (New Found Glory) Atom Willard (Rocket from the crypt, Angels and airwaves).. there styles are so awesome i think it would be such a great expansion. I use a lot of the metal kits to get the sounds i need but i just think a punk expansion would be great.. Especially if travis barker was doing the samples and grooves you’d be able to use them for punk, rock, hip hop.. you name it he does it! What does everyone think of that?

Also I forgot to mention.. another thing that would be cool about this expansion is if it came with alot of the popular kits they play.. Such as OCDP, DW, Dark Horse, Just all those custom kits! =) I would so buy that expansion if it ever existed!

 Blink 182 is not punk, if they do make a punk expansion Travis Barker should be nowhere near it, save him for a ‘Pop’ expansion.

I call Blink 182 Bubble Gum Punk.  That’s sort of what it is…  Teenie Bopper Bubble Gum Punk…

I totally agree! A punk rock Drum kit along with an EZ mix punk rock expansion would be awesome. I get by without it but if it existed I would buy it immediately. I’m talking more NOFX, Propagandhi, Lagwagon style stuff. There’s actually a ton of different sounds in that music especially if you follow it over the 20+ years they’ve been making music. Come on Toontrack, I love everything you do. Do this one!!!

Do it at the Blasting Room with Bill Stevenson! How amazing would that be!?!?!

Yeah, Punk!

@SkRotE or anyone else?
Do you have any EXZ-Pack reccomendation which offers the most suitable MIDI-Variations that come close to the style you’ve mentioned?
My Focus is on the MIDI-Variations – not the Drums-Sound itself.

Thanks…

No. I literally program all my punk stuff myself. Every last hit I enter in my midi editor. Once in a while I’ll use a fill from a midi pack because they have realistic velocity curves but for the rest I just enter it in the midi editor on my DAW. It can be a lot of fun actually. People are always asking me who played the drums on my tunes. Haha.
