That Jake Reed video was great! That’s the sound! …or one version of it.

Thanks John Rammell for posting clips of the dry drums from existing libraries, and yes it’s in line, but doesn’t nail it…especially considering that Toontrack is about doing things thoroughly and excellently.

Thanks to WJames for stating what seems obvious: “I don’t personally believe that this can be achieved with processing after the fact (envelopes, transient shapers, compression, eq, whatever). To be authentic it has to be baked into the samples…” And also for pointing out the distinction between dry and damped drums.

I want both dry and damped drums. I want a drum sound that ends quickly. I don’t want over-ring from the drum, or the room.

You can add me to the list of people who have been waiting for years, decades, for good dry drum sampling.

Toontrack, the dry drum thing is not just not just nostalgia. Dry damped drums open up a huge amount of musical space for other instruments to fit into. They work great in a lot of styles.

I ended up here because I’ve just spent an hour going through all the audio demos wondering if there’s a kit I can use to do this.

Thank You Mattias.

You could add these details to the product page…

I’ll try it… I’m used to sampled instruments being too large to download as demo. I just assumed I wouldn’t get the whole thing. But if the demo is the whole instrument, I’ll take a listen.

Thanks again.
