I was finishing up a demo for my band, and the intro of the song has a drumroll in it.
Seriously, I've done some drumrolls with Superior, but one like this? Never.
And it's starting to be a real pain in the ass.
The idea was to replace the Superior snare sound with a Slate or Joey Sturgis sample, but Drumagog doesn't quite process the drum roll.
The reason why is because I can't get the drumroll right, so I was wondering if maybe you guys could give me some tips?

I don't think you'll need to hear it because it's kind of a general question, but there are different kinds of drumrolls (this one's with a consistent volume level):

Note: The drumroll here is pretty quiet because you'll only hear the overheads, in the end you'll hear some of the snare bus.

Thanks!
 
There is a kind of roll snare in DFH 2. which you can use on a 16/4 or a 32/4 before the actual hit, i've made it quite realistic before. It is between the flam and the actual snare hit in the midi window.
 
Thanks for the replies! but eventually we ended up ditching the drum roll. In theory it sounded good but we settled to ditch it.
 
Instead of triggering your drumagog off the rendered sd which is probably why it's not going well (threshold issues and such), trigger the gog straight from the midi?

This.

I used to try what you're doing with ApTrigga2 until darthjujuu showed me how to just simply trigger the midi for whatever drum I want.
