I've been playing my new bass guitar alot lately and think some cool Jazz drums would go nicely with it. Can anyone suggest some good ones? I have Vsampler so it can import most formats.
Thanks,

Rick

PlugSoundFree has a decent little jazz kit. Also has some nice tablas. And free is good.

Hey thanks t-willy I'm kvelling and now I am unable to type.

You just made my day as I am feeling quite down lately.

Shane : Thanks for reminding me of the usb kit.

There are only a few decent brush kits I have used one is a stock Dr008 vs 1.19 kit and ST2XL has a very tasty one which is knocking me out. And the Sonic reality acoustic Drum eRom as well has a great variety but no brsh kit. And as soon as the Sonic Reality UFO is sorted out for I will be using the Sonic Station and Drum Capsule kits but alas they are only opening as sets of layers which do not worl properly in ST2. There are some brsh kits in there that I want to check out.

Cheers,
Gordon

I second that. I love this kit as well and have been using it countlessly, even layered with other drums..

Anybody check out the Real Drums Collection from Realsamples? I just listened to the mp3 demo, which was a bit sparse but sounded nice. It ’s a single Pearl kit played with sticks, brushes and hot rods (whatever that is

).

The price is $60 which seems very reasonable for a 4 CD set (HALion, EXS and Giga format).

Looks good too. Shame that there is no Dr008 format, Damn it!

Wizoo do a jazz brush kit, dont know how it compares to the ones mentioned above though.

Beardedone · Post by **Beardedone** » Thu May 13, 2004 7:07 pm

I have no idea as Wizoo has no Dr008 format kits, right -useless for me.

Here's a free Jazz kit soundfont. It's pretty good

You can make it low fi using effects if you wanted.

Click on "drums" then download the second soundfont.

but they do have battery kits which do ok in dr-008. i had a tough time with the mixtended xl kit but i worked around it without much problem. in battery, you can assign multiple pads to the same midi note i guess. dr-008 would overwrite the close hits with the room hits and then overwrite the room hits with the overhead
hits. i had to manually seperate the various hits and then import. i think Angus might have straightened this out with 1.19 but i have tried it yet.

wizoo also has some lm-4 kits that work fine in dr-008

Beardedone · Post by **Beardedone** » Thu May 13, 2004 10:59 pm

Yeah but that's beyond my understanding and patience though right now. I need a proper dr008 conversion and the Battery kits I have converted are mostly garbled messes.

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to construct a velocity-layered from wavs.

Cheers,
Gordon

Bigg John · Post by **Bigg John** » Thu May 13, 2004 11:29 pm

i don't know of a tutorial per say, but what i would do was to open other kits that i already had and see how they did it. for instance, the wizoo platinum kit uses 4 waves for each individual drum/cymbal (not extremely detailed i know). they assigned the velocities as follows- 1-65, 66-95, 96-120, 121-127. they did same velocity assigning for everything.

I don't think it's ultra critical that you use a standard velocity map as long as the guy using the kit knows the map (even that is not "critical"). If you have and lm-4 kit, you could just check out the text file. even a battery "kit" file can be opened up in notepad (or wordpad if the file is too big) to examine the velocity map.

Thanks I will try it. I need to know what determines the velocity assgnment esp if the wav are normalied Re using notepad I am usually too intimidated by these to even know where to start.

i did some demo for him, you can listen to them in my page at
www.alchemystudio.it (music section, then realsamples demo)

or, soon, directly at realsamples website www.sampling-cds.com

i think that realsamples are really good, expecially at that price. you can obtain very realistic sequences with them

Can anyone suggest some Jazz Kits?
