Hello everybody,

"realistic drum samples", here we go - how about this?

Kind regards from Berlin,

Mixosaurus has their work cut out for them. Their website barely works. It still uses frames which causes all kinds of usabilty problems and I could only manage to get one audio file to play. The file I heard was sort of a jazz thingy that sounded like a little kid was just hitting stuff. I was hoping to hear a real song so I could really judget in context. The sounds seemed pretty good, but maybe too "pretty" for my tastes...it's hard to tell.

Hey I listened to all the samples, and I liked very much of the Fxpansion BFD2!

The DFH and DFH Superior sounds "far", if you know what I mean...

My friends will be recording some samples tonight of some crashes. We have some drum samples at: freesound :: view user :: Matias.Reccius. And I'll be recording the video =D.

IMO, the best sample we have recorded was the Ride's.

Hey!

I was talking about the drum samples with my friend and partner (drummer), and thinking about an exercise about Statistics and doing some research for drum samples and I found this: Drum samples and drumming software.

Much better than the others. I don't know if the FXpansion BFD is better or not...

Brandon,

thanks for checking the website - what browser/OS did you use that didn't work? It's the first time this was reported... hmm. Anyway, here are a few examples with their direct URLs:

These five were all programmed via Logic's matrix editor, whereas this last one was played in realtime using a Roland TD-12:

It all comes down to this. They're only as good as who handles them creatively. IMHO.

That's true.

You can't use DFH recording some jazz... I concluded that DFH has a lot of production in it, doesn't sound natural.

I'm working really hard here to build a decent DIY samples heavy-metal drum kit to use with Battery. I think I'm 80% done already, that is, it's souding pretty good as it is right now. And I've tried DFH, EZDrummer and all those overprocessed kits and they suck.

My samples are available FREE online at the Free Sound Project. Check out "crashAv2.wav", "crashBv2.wav" and the "snareDxx.wav" series, these are absolutely brilliant!

I don't think Superior C&V has a lot of production in it.

Really? DFH Superior sounds like raw, dry, and unprocessed samples to me. They may not have been captured in a way that you feel is flattering to jazz, but from my standpoint they are very neutral. I have to work hard with compressors and such to mix them. They certainly need the usual mixing treatments that real drum kits do for the rock and pop stuff I often do.
