Metal Releases with programmed drums

I'm using programmed drums for my band's demo (I'm the drummer but we cant afford to get good enough sound quality naturally), cymbals too - hihats and cymbals sound fine, there's obviously a difference to me sitting behind the kit, as there is with the actual drum sounds, but it definately doesn't sound programmed. Fast drum fills sound programmed, cymbals don't really get hit fast enough to tell. As long as the samples you have have enough sustain its alright. Only thing you can't do (unfortunately) is hihat open/closes (you could cut an open hihat off but you can't get the shoop effect that you would normally get). Cymbal chokes might be hard to, I've sampled some of them but haven't tried using them yet.

Terrible mix I know (I'm trying ;p), but those are completely MIDI drums.

What are you using? They're ready-made in s2.
 
Samael - "Passage"

Awesome programmed drums that sound great. It was an Akai machine. Don't remember which model though.
 
The majority of albums Joe records only have Kick, Snare, Hat, 2 or 1 Rack Toms, 1 Floor Tom, 2 Crashes and a Ride... so that's what made sense to us. including more would have meant delivering the pack on a hard drive.

When Toontrack finish up doing the SDX update it'll add cymbal mutes (they've been in testing for a while)... But we did not record cymbal crashes with a choke, since all the VSTi's can emulate that with Poly Aftertouch.

Cheers,

Rail
 
I understand that's what Joe wanted - it just is a pain to have to go into X-Drums to get more than 2 crashes, or god forbid a china into the kit.

As far as the cokes... Poly Aftertouch just doesn't sound like the real thing - you don't get the same resonance on it. Hopefully the SDX update fixes it, but for now I've had to import a cymbal from Avatar and dedicate it to cymbal chokes.
 
Hypocrisy - Penetralia. Drum machine & machine gun effect, but sounds fucking good.
All Comecon albums.
 
Bathory: Hammer heart - Destroyer of worlds , All programmed .
Actually it was many years before Hammer Heart was exposed and not many people knew it and this was back in the 80's when most drum samples were too obvious .

Personally I think the way Superior makes you use X-Drums in order to add a cymbal or layer up two snares or kicks together is a bit crap. I prefer BFD2 in that instance - having 32 slots that I can choose to layer up easily with the link tool - just a lot more straightforward.

Samples sound great Rail! Nice grooves.
