Whats so good about Kick10 and Snare12a?

Whats so good about kick10 and snare12a?
the kick sounds like punching the palm of my hand and the snare sounds like a table being hit or more like punching my mic case, box... finger box?

What are other snare and kick samples being used to death?

 

[updog]

if it sounds good to you, use it. if it doesn't, don't. it's pretty simple.

anything else will sound shit or exactly like somebody else, and fuck that.

According to Slate himself, not much. Kick 10 is only there because "10 kick drums" sounded much better than "9 kick drums".

What's wrong with punching a fingerbox? Sure, at first it's weird, but once you get into it, it's hard to stop you know.

Some guy used it and then used it some more and then said it was really great. So then mindless drones fallowed in pursuit to be boring and hence now we have lots of boring people using the same drums over and over again.

Loren has it right. Now we have whole swathes of "engineers" using nothing but Kick 10, Snare 12a, Zombass (because they can't even be arsed recording bass anymore) POD Farm Cali into S-Preshigh for guitars, and they're all pumping out mixes that sound totally identical to each other. It's so god damn boring!

When tuned up 10-20%, Kick 10 is actually fucking awesome. It's just a very low-tuned, woofy, boomy, loose-sounding kick. But with the right processing, it's a fucking great metal kick, not just for crab-core.

If in doubt, buy LSD Drums and never look back.

Just a noob would use slate samples alone on their productions. When i hear it i just laugh and turn off the music. It just adds another generic layer on an aldreay generic genre.

If it could sound any more false, it would remind me exactly of the snare that Cameron Mizell of Chango Studios sells on his site, which to me is an absolutely shitty sounding snare.
Edit:
But I did just try 12a blended with direct snare mic and some other sample and I really liked what I got.

I guess, because Joey likes using those 2 samples, all the Joey fans and scene kids starting using them and didnt look ahead..

I quite like that Chango snare for a bit of ambience behind my main snare actually, but alone it is absolute garbage.

If it's the best sounding tool for the job, it gets used. These samples are often the best sounding for the job. Not always, but often. It's that simple.

They're pretty good to make your drum sample folder appear bigger.

We do, ours is just more metal.

I've been wondering the exact same thing lol. 12a is a bit of a disappointment to me. I can never get a snare I'm 100% happy with so I'm probably just too hard to please.

Sure, they work OFTEN if you're trying to pump out the same old tired fucking Sturgis-core style mix.

Everyone "LIKES" them so much because, indeed for a fact, Joey Sturgis mentioned in a few threads on here that these were the Kick and SNR samples he was using, and he said some other good things about them and even how to process them the way he does.

SO, of course everyone has Slate Drums and a few weeks, maybe months go by and I see these two samples listed on 50% of the stuff in the Rate My Mix section, and it continues to this day!
