What I was sensing was an emerging desire to see more kits posted. Someone mentioned (I can't remember which post exactly) a CD that was arriving. Even though it's none of my biz, I just felt compelled to say that it might be a bad idea to start thinking about kits built from stuff like this. I have been building a kit based on sounds from my Boss DR-550, but I wouldn't expect that they would be suitable for posting (which is too bad, but a fact nonetheless). I'm aware that the posted kits are homemade jobs that have been contributed by kindly drummers with studio access and know-how. I like John Fazio's CD idea! I'll be spending a rainy east coast weekend inside doing some kind of studio work, that's for sure. On Friday, May 23, 2003, at 08:34 PM, Hermiteer wrote:
I'm not a lawyer ( and I don't even play one on TV) but I think the sharing of commercially available drum sounds is a no no for someone in Ben's position. That is, I wouldn't be posting these files on a website if I were he, and I'm sure he won't.
Commercially sampled drum sounds put into a doggiebox kit I suspect would be bad news. However, if someone just miked one of their drums, recorded it (and other bits) and put those into a doggiebox kit it is no problem. This is probably redundant because I'm that's exactly what Ben did for the sample kit we all get.
