Something more modern! Pork Pie kit samples.

[pjcohen]

Hi, all. Time for something more modern! I sampled a Pork Pie "Progressive-Ply" Maple Rock shell kit. Tom sizes were 12x9 high tom and 14x12 and 16x14 floor toms. 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 24x20 kick using an AKG D112 inside mic, a Royer R-122 outside mic, and the aforementioned Neumann overheads. Not my *best* work, but 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.

Thanks for the praise! "...lively vibe," I like that. Re-check the Gretsch thread, I posted an updated version that I worked very carefully on, mixing the best samples. Thanks bros for the feedback!
