SSD or joey sturgis samples?

[Pontusladd]

Hey , im about to buy some sweet drum samples but i dont know which to choose.

If i could get some tips and opinions that would be awesome!

/facepalm

(literally I facepalmed)


but to answer your question, slate can be a really nice blend with other samples and the drummers real kit
I use alot of Joey's cymbals when programming drums

so this is my take of the two
if you want drum samples - Slate
if you want good OH samples - JS

 

[Pontusladd]

yeye , im not a forum guy so facepalm all you want haha.

but anyways , thanks for the advice!

If you go with SSD, you'll sound like Joey.
If you go with Sturgis samples, you'll sound like Joey.

Your choice.

[dani]

hard call

Listen to the samples on the sites and decide which you like better.

man
fuck em both
rent a really nice preamp
mono or stereo

and fucking make your own
good god..
everyones holding on to eachothers dicks these days
SSD this, SD/2.0, joey samples that blablabla

i am personally interested in the cymbals that joey has
just incase i run into some faggot band that has a drummer that cant get his shit together

 

[digitaldeath]

Personally, I'd recommend Evil Drums.

 

[DeclanWhite]

joey's drums are ok. cymbals are really good. slate stuff is a bit more hifi so the drums are more 'perfect' sounding. tis up to you

 

[bryan_kilco]

how far along is this gonna go before every metal band uses SSD and all drums sound the same?

Pretty fuckin close already.

 

[bryan_kilco]

Pretty fuckin close already.

right?

I guess I'm still a newb when it comes to the recording side of things. And, before I discovered this forum, I'd have never known that 98% of metal bands replace most of their drums. It's kinda sad in a way....Yeah, it yields great results but it's just not the same.

I agree with your sentiment to an extent. But this thinking relies on having:

1. Some great sounding, well tuned drums
2. A great sounding room
3. Some good mic's
4. Good mic technique
5. A nice preamp

But yeah, I totally agree that everything these days seems to be getting more towards "buy this to make XXXX sound great!" instead of learning to do it yourself, which cant be good for the art of recording and the industry as a whole.

Yep, every band seems to be:

EMG fitted mahogany guitar>tubescreamer>5150>rectifier cab>SM57 for guitars

Slate drum samples for the drums.

So basically all we've got left to give a band some sense of individuality is bass, vocals and cymbals.

not everyone can be "exceptional" ...because if everyone was, there would be no "exceptional."
