For the preview clips, we had a session drummer come in and lay down a few basic beats, and then sound replaced the close mics with the dry samples found in the sample packs.
The samples found in the pack have very little processing written to them... just very light compression to help achieve consistent volume levels. This is intentional... making them very versatile and easy to mix the way you want them.
On the preview clip specifically, the only thing on the trigger track is an Eventide Omnipressor, and a tiny bit of EQ (slight boost around 4k, slight dip around 500hz)... Thus giving it a little brighter tone.
If you're just programming (or even if you just want to experiment), try blending a dry sample with a room 1 or 2 sample. Dry Snare hard 1 with Room 1 Snare hard 2 or any combination like that... That can sound awesome.
Once again, we didn't want to create drum samples that are super outrageous and over processed... we created samples that are for creative engineers that want to develop their own sound.
We want feedback like this. We'll be releasing tons of different snares and kits over the next few months, and getting feedback from customers will help us know what people are really looking for in our samples.
Let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thank you!
