Any acoustic drum kits/samples recommendations? Like real drums. I am looking for .wav files (one hits/one shots/hits) if ever and not loops. Thank youuuu.

 

Drumforge and ggd comes to mind if you're into heavier style of music, for flexibility, just can't beat Addictive Drums.

 

Drumforge Drumshotz have some great one shots (particularly the Carson Slovak, Daniel Bergstrand, Christian Kohle and Billy Decker ones)
Toontrack Hansa, Death, Decades and Legacy of Rock are pretty good if you want detailed kits with round-robins.
TMKD, Drumwerks and That Sound hand out some great free samples. Also a lot of people in music production forums post surprisingly good sounding samples that they made during sessions.

 

Thank you for the recommendations. Will check them out.

 

I use one kit to add to my electronic dance music if necessary. Because I always liked the Phil Collins tom riff I bought this one (only using the wav files in a sampler):

But he has much more to offer so might be useful.

 

I can second ADD. Not too big, the complete bundle comes with a bunch of sounds and presets and you can set every piece to single sample to avoid RR variations.

 

Try that :

And EZ drummer for me : easy AND a great choice from start

get perfect drums... I love the program and sounds way more real than tha mododrum noise

 

Get Perfect Drums is a company that is yet to be invented.

Currently, there is only Get Good Drums...which is about as lacklustre a company name as Ive ever heard.

...get meh drums...

 

Naughty Seal Perfect Drums

 

The developer's name is Naughty Seal Audio, and the product's name is Perfect Drums.

Well it's named after one of its founders: Adam "Nolly" Getgood. Really like their products though.

 

I actually talked to a tech guy there because my .component wasnt showing up after installation and he mentioned that they are currently working on Perfect Drums 2 and it will be announced in early Feb. Anyone who has purchased Perfect Drums 1 gets half off Perfect Drums 2... something I will definitely be doing

 

lol.... I was saying to "get perfect drums the program" instead of using sample packs, because perfect drums is rather intuitive and also kinda under the radar.

 

i like ggd matt halpern

 

Sennheiser Drummic'A for Kontakt - freeware:

 

That's great news! Thanks for informing. It's about time they upgraded it.

I got you, but apparently the other guy didn't.
I agree on your comments about Perfect Drums! It is intuitive and is quite well-featured. The default processing is great for a quick mix but it's quite easy to get a custom mix going as well. Moreover, the sampler is a really great addition too. I just wish it had more velocity layers. Hopefully they add that in the next version.

 

Those drums sound extremely processed and aren't versatile at all. Good for Extreme Metal, but very little else.

 

I'm a bit of an OCD guy when it comes to finding good free resources for music production on the internet. I use 95% free stuff (not cracked or infringed, but actually free) in my music production setup. So I may help you out here. If you are looking for quality raw audio files here is some incredibly good source:

https://www.organicdrumloops.com/ock-new/

And download either the VST plugin or alternatively you can just scroll down that page and download the one-shot packs without having to use the plugin (though it's pretty good). The guy (really pleasant dude, I had a few interactions with him before) also has tons of drum and percussions loops tailor made for various genres and it's free (donations welcome) on his site.


Another source of good free drum samples: the creative commons sound platform Freesound.org

Here are some of the drum packs hosted there (register for free so you can download entire packs at once):

agreed AD, and I also like SD because of compatability with my module (even though RR isnt right). i dont care for GGD because its so massively overcompressed, you cant do anything with it except drop it in.
if you like a good simmons check out Aly James, two thumbs up

 

Heres a hack... play a song on bandcamp, inspect the page then scroll to the bottom... copy the stream link mp3 and boom, you can download the song
