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

Hello My problem exactly for a long long time, until now. I finally have a decent drum sounds that keep me going on. Here is a sample, made with my loyal companions ZynAddSubFx, Hydrogen and Rosegarden, recorded with Ardour. http://users.tkk.fi/tuimonen/drumsample.ogg It starts with melodic stuff, the drums are introduced somewhat later and then it gets ugly at the end. Unfinished and unmixed version. Drums are mainly from freesound (691_ianhall_Ian_s_Drum_Set, 889_ltibbits_High_Quality_Cymbals,17_TicTacShutUp_Studio_Drums_1) and ns_kit7free. Bassdrum is basicly ripped from one mp3 that starts with snare and bassdrum "riff" and mixed with one of my own recorded bassdrum. I know the band/guy who is responsible for the sounds, so after they release their CD, I'm going to ask permission for that bd sound (at least for my personal usage). I use two slightly different bd samples to get more natural feeling, at least for double hits that play very close to each other. Three toms is from ns_kit7free (tom_flr,tom_mid,tom_hi) and one is from 13249_ianhall_rack_tom.aiff http://users.tkk.fi/tuimonen/drumkit.xml.bz2 Here is drumkit.xml that I used in Hydrogen. I cannot redistribute the actual samples, but you are free to download them from freesound (and ns_kit7free from http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_kit7freedownload.html) and save the samples to ./hydrogen/data/TU_2/ along with the drumkit.xml and you are set to go..well almost, since Hydrogen is not text based so it's not usable to you. But someone could cook up a script that reads drumkit.xml and produces nice soundfont or .gig file out of it. I'm warning though, that I get Hydrogen 0.9.3 to crash when one song using this drumkit is loaded and I open another that uses the same drumkit. So better just quit in between songs. And I disabled the 'Restore last used song' because the drumkit loads quite a while. Check out 889_ltibbits_High_Quality_Cymbals from freesound (Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 License) Freesound is quite nice place; After you find some user that has uploaded good stuff, just see the user's profile and check out what samples he/she has downloaded. This is how I found those three drum sets. Happy drumming! Tommi
