Tama Copeland Kit

[jimknopf01]

Hi,

any chance there might ever appear
– a Tama Starclassic maple set in Stewart Copeland style (The Police)
– with his classic snare sound and Octobans?

I am heavily missing this sound as one of the most famous sounds in Rock history in the Toontrack library (the Tama drums in your metal library don’t come close to this sound).

Unforgettable hihat by that guy too.

You name it!

I think this set would fill a real gap in the Superior Drummer range. It should raise considerable interest not just for nostalgic reasons (the last Police tour still filled stadiums), but mainly because these sounds are simply very useful in many contexts nowadays just as well.

The addition of Paiste cymbals and 13′ hats would help plug a glaring hole in the TT library. Octobans are a bonus, however an Imperialstar would be a more accurate reflection of Stewarts sound. And an absence of James Brown funky drummer variations in the MIDI would be a relief as well. In fact if done right the Mid would be the biggest attraction for me

I can’t disagree with anything up to this point. In plain English though, you’re then saying that if no James Brown midi were present it would make you want to buy some TT library, though not specific. I’m a little lost, because there is a lot of those [actual] drummers’ playing in the Funkmasters library, and I don’t think that’s what you really meant anyway.

Fizbin:
Just wishful thinking that a new library in the vain of the OP’s request would contain some midi with cryptic titles alluding to Police songs ala C&V. Stewart Copeland being one of the most innovative rock drummers ever, never fell into the white boy funk trap.
Maybe its me listening to the midi outside of tempo context, but its like groundhog day sometimes in regards to derivatives of the funky drummer beat. Which is why it would be nice for snare ghost notes to be assigned another layer

Anyway, a retro 80’s SDX/EZX (more likely), Copeland Imperialstar (w/octobans), Pearl CZX (think Living Colours Calhoun), and maybe Yammie recording 9000 ( i know its already in their somewhere), would be most welcome

[jimknopf01]

You are of course right about the Imperialstar as original setup. As keyboarder I mixed it up with a more recent list.

Proper midi reflecting the Copeland legacy from Police songs should definitely be part of the package.

try the uk pop expansion (it was made for that ) or  change the pitch to a higher pitch of one snare drum in ezd 2

The Superior Drummer 2 “NY Vol 2” SDX : “Hit Factory” library sounds very Copeland-ish actually.
