Hey guys! Made a kontakt drum kit using some own samples from a session from last year, and then i used superior for cymbals+room. Tell me what you think!
Here's a quick mix i did with it. Poor guitar playing and pitch-shifted guitar for bass, but you get the picture!
The kit is a Pork Pie custom kit, toms have Remo coated heads and are mic'd with 57's, e602 on the kick, and the snare is a Chad Smith Signature also mic'd with a 57. The mics went into a mid-grade Mackie Onyx preamp built around the beginning of this century, going through ADAT into an RME Hammerfall. Would have sampled his Zildjan A-customs aswell, but i only had a pair of AKG C1000's at the time.
Here's the kit!
Would anyone be interested in this?
**UPDATE**
Here are all the files for the shells, .nki for seperate drums, ready-routed .nkm for multi, .gogs for replacing live drums and of course the .wavs.

Let me know what you think about the overall layout. If the samples were top-notch (i know these aren't), would you pay for a download link to a zip like this? Cause i'm thinking of creating larger libraries with full cymbal sets (A-customs, HHX etc) and shells (Tama Rockstar, Mapex Orion, Pearl Masters, Porkpie Custom) with individual bleed and stuff for full control. It would be cheap as hell, cheaper than i.e. superior drummer or slate, and it could really help people who want productions that sound good but stand out from the normal Sturgis or Bulb mix rip-off cult. I'm not going to market these much, so it would be like a little secret weapon for the people hanging around here. But I need to know if people want this before i go and drop $$$$ on studio rentals, drum heads etc.

i'm going to post these shells as a zip file, with all the individual drums (kick,snare,racktom,floortom) as .nki's (was going with .kt3 at first but changed my mind) and the sound folders with the .wav-files that go along with them. they load up into the full version of kontakt 5 (should also work in 4). then you could perhaps save the multi to recall the entire set later. i'll also include .gog-files for every individual drum. this sound good? would you like it in any other format? and can anyone recommend a good mirror? becuase the filesize will probably wreck my dropbox.
