Just saw.

@MogwaiBoi maybe it's a sign that we should really buy.

Btw, just saw Sonokinetic also has a sale. I thought it was just an educational discount, but it reads

"Everyone - 50% discount on all scores.

Students - 25% store wide discount."

I must be an idiot, but what does the "scores" mean?

They mentioned it's the score sheets (pdf) of the performances in vivace, capriccio and minimal.

I bought Natural Forces last night. It's actually pretty nice for fifty quid. A lot of great field recordings of rain, wind, thunderstorms, underwater sounds, jungles, sea surf etc, plus a bunch of ominous deep rumble sounds. Then there's some great metallic sounds of heavy objects being struck, plus pads varying between harsh to angelic but all with a weird twist to them. There's some interesting functionality with layered pads too. I'm going to have fun using this. I just wish Damage was on sale.

Have fun!
I've never thought about it, but I'd love to record underwater sounds!

I bought Master session ethnic drums and metals during the sale. I already got Natural Forces. They are very impressive!

Are the taikos good?

That is surprisingly hard to answer. They haven't marked the different sounds based on the instrument. Except for a frame drum, they are named sub bass, bass, mid and high sound. I cannot tell which is a pure taiko. It is possible that there is no pure taiko, but that all the sounds include many different drums in one ensemble.

Late to the topic - but just wanted to chime in. DM307 is always inspiring me.

How I hate that type of naming convention!
Would you say the tone was sharp/snappy, resonant, like taiko-ish, as opposed to full-bodied like toms?

Talking about sound is difficult, but I'm hearing more of "full-bodied" than of "sharp/snappy".

Bugger. But thanks!
