Mapex Saturn Maple/Walnut Toms

[pjcohen]

Hi, all! Sharing some new tom samples I made. I sampled a Mapex Saturn Maple/Walnut kit. Tom sizes were 10x8 high tom, 12x9 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.

i'm def checking these out, that floor tom sounds sexy.

Thanks,

I find 421s are good for overheads, but not necessarily close mics. In this case, however, it was merely a matter of what I had on hand. Be sure to check out my thread of vintage Gretsch toms and kick (http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/andy-sneap/798263-vintage-gretsch-kit-samples.html) they are the sickest toms I've sampled IMNSHO! Glad you are enjoying!
