Anyone here play a musical instrument/drums?

[Part Time Junkie]

Looking to sample some real playing will give credit where credit is due

Do drums not count as a musical instrument? I play electric guitar but I've not done any videos recently. You lot wouldn't recognise any of the stuff I play either so no point really

More for sampling/cutting up stuff fills and hats are really hard to program! Anything you could send me?

Have a look online for sample packs. Ideally get a copy of Reason and some decent refills. Great jungle warfare packs EZ-Rollers packs and even dare I mention it Pendulum kits, fills, loops and one shots.

But if you want wavs of loops I would recommend 'Brian Daly', 'Dave Abbruzzese', 'Siggi Baldersson' etc.

Or search for 'hits' or 'one shots' if you want the elements to construct your own beats.

Cheers man got loads (too many!!) but I really want to work with real players ya know?

 

[Ben So Furry]

Those artists I posted are loops of real live drummers mate.

 

[Part Time Junkie]

yeah but I was looking for something to go over my own beats the personal touch lol cheers anyway though!

 

[Ben So Furry]

No worries. My Brother plays drums but it's unreasonable and too difficult to set up to expect him to do that really. Unless big $$$ is involved. Then he may.

Cheers man but I just downloaded a flac of Skip James gonna remix that for sure!

 

[Ben So Furry]

I was in a band. Fucking hated the first half day of recording which was used up solely by the producer and the drummer going "now tap the high hat" "ok, now tap the high hat"

Why does it take 4 hours to set the drums up while the rest of us get 15 seconds?

Cause the drum kit has loads of microphones and has a tendency to have a ridiculous dynamic range (don't wanna be hitting the red now do we). Also drums are normally recorded in stereo so you've gotta get both sides perfectly balanced if you wanna avoid level/cancelation headaches when mixing down. Not to mention the actual kit itself being a complicated pain to set up and awkward to surround with mic's, and god forbid the drummer wants to tune each fucking drumhead.

4 hours is a bit much tho


For everyone else we can just say "play your loudest bit" and if it ain't clipping then generally it's good to go!
