I absolutely LOVE the approach that you used to build your kit. When I realize how silly I was, trying to build your "buzz" and "flam" hits with carefully spaced sounds from my ns_kit, I have to totally rethink my approach. That's how eye-opening it was for me. I would love to hear another cymbal added to the one that's there now, and would prefer more dynamics to the ride, rather than the crash. Also, the kick sounds very full, to the point of being muffled. I don't know if that's a true representation of your kit or the character of that drum, but it can be tricky to make it sit nice in a mix. I take it that drum has both heads? It sounds great, just bassy and without a lot of definition. I had planned to do some eq on the bass drum and re-integrate it back into the kit. On Aug 16, 2004, at 8:17 PM, David Holloway wrote:
And just so this isn't all about me and my needs... If anyone has requests/complaints about the "70s_Ludwig_Kit" I'd be happy to consider them. I've already got a closed-hi-hat version of the kit and am adding more dynamics to the cymbal sounds. Hopefully I'll have something to share in the next month or so.
Cheers, David.

I have a suggestion. I play a bit of swing jazz etc. and wonder have you looked at putting in a beat location type of slider. Where you could adjust the feel of the drum to be on the beat or to lag or push around the beat.
This is a good idea and is on the todo list.
I see two fundamental ways that this could be implemented:
- as a destructive method, whereby you select some drums and apply the operation, which will shift around their positions to effect the appropriate swing rhythm; - as a kind of "attribute" that can be applied to some drums, kind of like bold or italic in a word processor, which will dynamically effect the rhythm.
The latter is probably the coolest way to do this, but requires some conceptual redesign in the interface. However there are a lot of things that will benefit from such a redesign, so other ideas along these lines are welcome as the Next Doggie begins to take shape.
P.S. I think I may have noticed a bug. The pattern icons on the screen do not update when the drum kit is changed. The mouse must be moved over or the pattern or playlist settings changed so that the display updates.
True, thanks for reminding me about this, I will fix it eventually. :)
