Natural Drums For Logic 8, suggest best natural sounding drums for logic Options

[manchoa]

Hi !

I use Logic studio 8 and I'm looking for best and real sounding natural drums to use with Logic. Any suggestions ? Can be both in Au or EXS format.
Best if they were in GM format.

Thanks

Tommy

my two current faves:
RMV from LinPlug
and Reason's Drum Kit's expansion, running under ReWire.
both have some very natural and mixable kits.
RMV has the added benefit of having some synthetic options.

mixosaurus, though somewhat pricey.

Hi: I use Addictive Drums and all I can say is: Wow...! They (almost all drum software) will always sound like... kind of fake, but in this case, you can have a very realistic effect ....In this, like any other software, you will need some drummer´s tricks in mind to make it happens, but it is very flexible...
Good Luck

Svalvolazz, man NDK sounds amazing. the demos are beautifully programmed and it's a huge amount of content... thanks for highlighting this.

[svalvolazz]

you're welcome, I'm owner of bfd2 too, but I prefere these sounds 'cause are much more natural.
All the best.

Hello,

The Abbey Road drums from Native sound nice. Jazz and Nashville EZX from Toontrack work fine too!

[manchoa]

Thanks everyone.

So I went for Superior Drummer with N.Y. Studios addon and Jazz EZX, Nashville EZX and Funk EZX from EZ Drummer. I also looked for Ocean Way drums, but for 50 gig and the price, they did not do the work good enaough for me... (sorry,my taste).

My friend has BFD1 on his PC so I had a chance to try it. IS BFD2 the same or better ? Does it support GM layout or only iMap ?

Tommy

Ocean Drums are not a good deal. BFD2 does have better sounds than its former version.

But one thing sucks : snare roll (like machinegun), impossible to do what you get with Toontrack. Moreover, it needs more work to get the sound. Just my feelings.

Otherwise, you can check analogue drums. There are some good things and a free mono kit.

Or buy a real drumkit

[manchoa]

hei !

do the analogue drums come with exs24 file already or do I have to make the kit myself ? They sounded great ! (pop sticks...)

Are you talking about install?

[manchoa]

Yes. Is it sample sonly or does it have also exs file to use with Loic Studio exs24 sampler

Are you talking about install?

There should be an EXS file since there are for Battery and Kontakt. When i downloaded the mono kit, It worked only with the last ones. EXS compatibility came after.

[houstonmusic]

yes,
i've just installed the big mono kit for Kontakt, and it's a ball. a big hairy ball.

[manchoa]

worked for me. I will buy the Pop Stick today.

So are you satisfied?

[manchoa]

Yes !
I bought Popsticks and Splitsticks - they sound both great. I didn't like the k-board layout (not GM, not iMap) and it was not comfortable to play for me, but in Battery I was able to re-map the samples with no trouble, so now I have bot iMap and GM layout for them. Some samples needed some tweaking for me - the velocity was not very good (too sensitive) and the sound of ride cymbal was a bit too loud and low for me, I tuned it higher about 1,5 tones and now it's perfect.

Thanks

Great

[manchoa]

Great

Merci tres bien ;-)
