I'm full of questions this week :-)
Anyone (Steven I'm looking in your direction) have an opinion on which SSD samp sounds closest (with whatever tweaking necessary) to match up with the snare on the newest Lamb of God record?

I'm recording a band who cited them as a reference, and the drummer had an old poppy thin piccolo snare which definitely does not help their sound.

I'm diving into completely reconstructing his performance and wondered if anyone had an opinion as to which sample I should use.

I monitor in a pretty large control room with 8"JBLs over my desk, and to be honest, I think my room really negatively colors what I hear back in here even though these are the "tuned" reference monitors they offer...

Thanks in advance!
 
I tried to find something within that mapex zip, but it all requires a lot more work to get them suited for the mix. i think i'm gonna use snare9 for this project, not much z2, probably no z4 and i might thin out the top end a LITTLE and boost the lows a bit too
 
sure ive got a sample of a wooden spoon hitting a saucepan somewhere... that ought to do it.
