Head on over to http://rekkerd.org/analogue-drums-giveaway-tape-series-two-b undle-for-kontakt/ for a chance to win a collection of 4 drum kits for Kontakt, the Tape Series Two Bundle from Analogue Drums!

A few more days left for this giveaway. Don't miss it.

rekkerd was weird and using something that wouldn't let me post. Some message about your software not being configured correctly. Looked very dodgy.

Hello Peter, That is what I thought at first, However I went ahead and signed in via my google account and it worked just fine/the same as it always does. Once you are logged in/given the thing permission to remember you (or whichever way this one goes about it specifically) it lets you comment as normal, Navigate away from rekkerd and back again without asking for permission again...etc.

I hope Ronnie can confirm this to put your mind at ease as obviously I can not man. I am a fan of Analogue Drums and this collection would be mighty fine addition to the non-real but real as it gets acoustic shells, snares and cymbals. You play yourself if i remember correctly? So when using triggers or an electronic kit these would be a great addition to your own collection also A really good friend plays a vintage Gretsch kit and even though working mostly on Heavy, Modern Metal styles I have a big soft spot for his Gretsch kit and no doubt the Analogue Drums BuckShot will make me feel exactly the same. Tempted to save up for the the whole lot of thier sets to be honest as my new audio machine will be built/ready to go rather soon and finally I will have alot more power at my fingertips

All the best Peter and also to You Ronnie + thanks for another great chance to win a top-notch software/soundware giveaway

I tried via my Facebook account and it just kept saying the same thing and not letting me post, so I gave up.

I have the whole of the first series, bought more or less as they appeared (FULL PRICE! Argh!) so, yes, having these would be very nice. The demos sound amazing.

Did you have any luck Peter? Hope you did man

Yeah I agree on the demo, Well this one sounding really good:

Hey guys, rekkerd uses Disqus for its comments. You should be able to simply write a comment and then click "post as..." in the bottom right of the comment box to choose on of the options (see image below).

Using your email address you can post as Guest, or pick one of the account choices so you can remain signed in for future comments.

I think it's down to the comment system using third-party cookies for something. I've taken to simply banning them as I'm really not interested in letting some site I'm not aware of knowing what I'm up to. At least here it's visible -- so it's a bit odd it's being seen as third-party. Hence me thinking there's something dodgy going on - site configuration issue or something. (Obviously anyone who isn't concerned about accepting cookies from anywhere wouldn't notice the issue -- I get pop-ups for every cookie...) I've had issues with disqus before, with it simple refusing to work in some versions of Firefox... it seems pretty poor. But this is entirely off topic, sorry!! I'll use my sandbox browser (safari) - I clear that down completely between uses.

Looks like you got your comment in, good luck!

I also don't allow third-party cookies. I tried to login with my google account, didn't work either. Fuck it.

Sorry to hear the disqus system is troublesome. I wasn't aware it causes problems when not allowing 3rd party cookies. Good to know, maybe I need to check for alternatives.

Just for kicks, here's a RockStock (Tape Series 1) jam from today

Nice one Pete, However you are just tempting me to pickup Tape Series One and I am not flush by far at the moment, Must prioritize properly

Those snares for layering up with the Toontrack stuff and my own goto samples are bloody tempting though to give them some beef

Dean

Oh yes, this is the Mapex Brass Master snare rather than the stock RockStock snare, too: the Snare City pack is a great addition ... if you've time to sit through auditioning.

Those toms are immense... The kit had some compression applied whilst playing, then some more during the mix, then the whole mix had some more to boost the level... If I had an income, TS2 would have been bought already...
