are there any free 18 piece or larger acoustic drum kit vst's? I want a huge drum kit to mess with.

For free? not really... the biggest you'd prolly be able to get would be DrumMic'a. But that's no where near the size you're requesting.

Maybe this? Not 18 pieces but around 12 it seems....and free:

The free sample tank comes with drums I still need to test out

Forget it I want a 813 piece vst kit like this one:

Lol. Na, but I guess if I don't find a free one, I may settle for buying addictive drums or bfd.

There aren't many freeware drum plugins at all, what does the Yellow Tool Independence have in it? Odo's Dr.Fusion had a lot, but 18 is really a lot.

Google "Free Acoustic Drum samples" and build your own kit ?

And with the samples you download you can load them into the Bigbadabom drum sample player VST. It has slots for loading up to 24 wav files : http://www.kvraudio.com/product/bigbada ... le_barrail

Before I bought RM 2, RM IV and then RM V I used Linplug's free RMF which does have 18 sample slots....perfect for what the OP wants. Unless he comes back and says he's on a Mac.

I tried Loopazoid but remember it had some kind of crazy sample/patch handling scheme.......

The RMF is no longer available from Linplug but I believe it's available from Gersic or one of the other VST archives sites......

The SampleTank 3 Free one has a great bassdrum, but that's about it. I wasn't too impressed.

Edit: Okay, it's not that bad but it's nothing amazing. The hihat, bassdrum and ride sound pretty good. Every key has a different sound, so technically that would be like a 49 pc drumkit, right?

Crash cymbal samples played in quick succession always sound terrible to me :/ Just not real enough. I think what makes the difference is that the cymbal wobbles after it is struck, so it gets hit in a different place every hit.

Hi!

Like Teksonik said, you can easily find free acoustic drum set samples, and you can put them in any free sampler, like tx16wx ( http://www.tx16wx.com/ ).

Have a good day!

what I'm hoping to find is a progressive rock/metal style kit where there are 4+ toms, roto toms, etc. Think of something like Mike Portnoy or Neil Peart. Thanks for all the advice everyone.
