Hi, all! As follow-up to my Mapex Saturn samples, here are some Mapex Meridian Birch tom samples. Tom sizes were 12x9 high tom, 13x10 mid tom, and 16x16 floor tom. Recorded in 16bit, 44.1K stereo .WAV files, with left and right hand strokes. Mics used were shure sm57 close mics panned naturally around the stereo spectrum; and as overheads, neumann km 84s in an x-y position as close as I could get to my head, to best approximate the sound the drummer hears from his perspective. I feel I created nice variation and I'd love to hear any mixes you guys choose to use them in. Feedback is welcome. Hope you all enjoy and please let me know what you think.

If anyone is willing to make TCIs, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks so much for this great forum, I look forward to your comments.
