POP ROCK DRUM SAMPLES

[jssrecording]

Hey I found a company that makes great pop rock drum samples.
Check out http://www.forthemix.com They have the drum samples of Paramore's riot album!

[Scramble]

I've been talking to these guys, and they're just finishing off adding some more velocity layers to their samples, and it will all be announced through Drumagog soon. They don't offer a lot of different sounds, but what they have sounds good, although you can never really tell with drum samples until you've tried them in a few mixes.

Some of the sounds seem suitable for standard pop and rock, which is what I'm still looking for -- Slate and Supersonic are good for metal, but are not right for lighter stuff.

Hi Scramble, happy holidays! Slate 2.0 has 40 drumkits of which only 5 are geared towards metal sounds..

We have a lot of old school vintage kits and our new 2.5 has a vintage Steely Dan kit! Very UNMETAL!! Check out these demos:

Here are some demos of 2.5... Official Release date is mid January. Keep in mind that if you order 2.0 which is available now from the drumagog website, 2.5 is free.

I have Slate 2.0, and while it's great for cutting through harder mixes, it isn't what I like to use for a softer track. (I'm talking mainly about the kicks here, not the snares or toms, which I use on all sorts of mixes).

But it sounds like I'm eligible for a free 2.5 upgfrade, so I'll be eager to check out your Steely Dan and other new kicks (not to mention the rest of the new kits).

[YellowMatter]

check out blimp kick, kick6, kick7, AC Kick, or take any of the other kicks and just attenuate some top.

the new 3.0 version coming out will have the DAN kick, modeled from Steely Dan..

here again is this kit in action.. I'd say this is soft rock..

I look forward to your thoughts on the new collection Scramble, thanks for posting.

>check out blimp kick, kick6, kick7, AC Kick, or take any of the other kicks and just attenuate some top.

Can't really agree, esp. Blimp kick, it's not at all what I'm looking for for softer tracks. Taking out some top doesn't do the trick either.

The Dan kick sounds a bit more like it, though.

I know it's impossible to get every possible sound to please absolutely everyone, but I'm looking forward to Steve doing some more pop and ballady kicks.

I think For The Mix Drums are Just a lot more Punchy and round for Pop Rock. They seem to Glue to a song way better.
