http://webpages.charter.net/mcarlyle/alive_basictracks.mp3 Glad to help, Ben. Above is a link to a new song I'm working on that uses the new kit. It's just a mix of three basic tracks that I will build on with my singer/lyricist collaborator. I really like the new "press" or "buzz" snare drum. It's very similar to the idea I first saw presented in the 70's Ludwig Kit. You can hear it as the very first drum sound in the song above. It also appears during some tasty fills that happen throughout the song. Note also that I pushed the tempo from 120 to 124 bpm when jumping into what will become the chorus part. This really adds some humanization in my opinion. When I first mapped out this song, I did it on real drums. When listening to tapes, I sped up quit a bit when it came to this same part. I don't know if my notes were saved with the kit. I made some remarks about the 75 meg file size of the nskit7 drumset. I also noted that not all of the drums were needed. Only about 10 percent of the available drums went into my version of the DB kit. More would be overkill. On Aug 24, 2004, at 7:33 PM, Ben Kennedy wrote:

Cool. One nskit version 7, coming up.
...and now it's up in the library. Thanks for your hard work Mike.
I am interested to hear how you all find the experience of downloading the wav files and using the linked kit.
