[linux-audio-user] Still on the look out for _GOOD_ sampled drums

Hi all! I still have one problem: I don't have any acoustic drums I REALLY, TRULY love. I have one hardware synth with drums, which are ok in the mix )sometimes at least) and I have both the naturalstudio kits version 6 and version 7 as a soundfont. But they don't really satisfy me neither. They both sound a bit odd in the mix, they don't really fit in the room. The version6 is good and hard, but has a very short release on the snaredrums and I disagree with the bassdrum a bit and the version7 has good release, but sound a bit to soft. Even with some compression and other FX-processing I can't get them to sound really crunchy. So you see my being choosy and what I generally disagree with. I'm looking for a drumkit in eitehr sf2 or .gig format, which sounds very raw (no ambiance, no or very subtle FX-processing), not too soft in its attack, has good velocity layering and nice basic sampled instruments. If possible it would be nice if it had a few more cymbals (I like them :-)). Does anyone have experience with sampled drumkits, finding them, any good locations to start looking... Any kit on mind, which you think is very good for rock, jazz, a bit of metal or the like. Please give me a hint. For I found nothing except the hardware eDrums, which are very expensive, demand, that you can play real drums and demand a lot of real room to put them. All of that, I don't have. :-) Kindest regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de
