The Acacia Strain - Wormwood. What drum samples used?

[Bay Studio]

Hey guys

I´m new here, so a BIG HELLO to all of you!

I´ve been "analyzing" this mix for some time now, and yould really like to know what kind of drum sample Chris "Zeuss" Harris used on the kick and snare (especially kick).
It has this airy kinda feel to it with this nice round low end punch and a reaaal nice kicky sound to it.
Any suggestions or possible knowledge of whats been used would be soooo awesome!

Here´s a link to the track:

Hello? Anybody? =D

 

[Tommy Evans]

From what I remember reading (and I could be totally wrong, someone correct me if I am) Zuess is more of a natural guy, using real amps and real drums first and foremost.

However I can assume his kick on the latest Whitechapel mix is most likely Kick5 or the Panty Kick.

 

[Bay Studio]

yeah, i almost asumed he gets a nice natural sound of the mic´d kit, and probably blends a sample or two on kick and snare...
Not trying to find out what exact sample he used to blend in on the kick, but...i just cant find out how he gets that real "airy", nice soft low end punch and that nice sweet "kicky" feel to the kick... :/ struggling on that for quite a while now, spending long hours trying to figure it out.

 

[Seth Munson]

Zuess has his own samples he likes to go to. He blends forsure.

and Tommy, Suecof did the last Whitechapel CD.

probably the worst video i've ever watched. wow.

Actually if you know what the video is about its actually quite funny... ever see to catch a predator??? haha

 

[Bay Studio]

haha yeah, the video is quite funny. basically, the band is just full of their own humor, if you ever watch their previous music videos and studio diaries :-DD great guys though!
but, still....anybody got an idea how he MIGHT get this nice kick sound? Sorry if i´m too nosy, but its killing me that i dont know, hehe

[Bay Studio]

Drumagog can handle wavs. You can add one drumagog session with one sample then another one after the first one and lower the blend/mix bar to taste. I haven't really blended samples but I believe that's atleast one technique.

Hey, DullElysium! Thanks for a quick reply! I almost thought the same. Will be trying it out later on on a new mix i´m working on. Anybody got interest on maybe giving me some hints/feedback?
Cheers!

 

[Bay Studio]

EDIT: I will post the mix on here later on!

 

[zvish]

hey, make your own gog file. Don't know whad daw are you using, in cubase i just send one signal to another mono group and add there another drumagog, then blends with fader, or you can trigger from midi tracks up to 4 drumagogs on differend channels

 

[zvish]

you can make nki file too, and use kontakt
