Samples: Metal kit - Tama Starclassic Performer Birch-Bubinga.

[pjcohen]

Hi, all. This time I've got a metal kit, with a dead, smack-y sound. I sampled a Tama Starclassic Performer Birch-Bubinga kit. Tom sizes were 10x8 high tom, 12x9 mid tom, and 14x14 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 also sampled the 22x18 kick using an AKG D112 inside mic, a Royer R-122 outside mic, and the aforementioned Neumann overheads. 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. My thanks to those who've done so in the past. I look forward to your comments.

The sound is very nice, but for me a set of samples should contain at least about 10 hits for every piece to be really usable.

THX anyway
