A song using a Sonor kit
I can't for the life of me recall where I found these Sonor samples. I decided I needed a kit that sounded fuller than the nskit 7 that had become my go-to kit. The nskit toms are too "snappy" with no following resonance in the deeper tones. I can't get them to sound good anymore. I built a Sonor Kit last month and have started testing it. Anyway, I've gotten myself a Yamaha AW1600 and have started recording again with a singer/lyricist friend. I look for free moments between real life and gigs with my cover band. A song called Footprints can be found here. Let me know what you think, and if you "believe" the drums. http://www.foolishu.com/sounds/footprints.mp3
Like it. The production is really excellent. I'm glad you have been able to get together with your lyricist friend. You create some very good original songs together. The middle 8 is nice and the song writing and guitar work is very good as usual. You've mixed the drums in at just the right level I think. They certainly are believable - and, like come alive, have a "Mike Carlyle' sound to them especially the fills and the pause/fill towards the end [Does anyone else think that even as non 'real' drummers, we have a drumming style?] I've always thought the ns was just a little too 'studio' sounding - you are right about the toms and the Sonor ones are a lot better. Good luck with Foolish U. Sounds like fun. You've wetted my appetite with the new kit any chance you could post up a link for us other doggieboxers? I generally use the Yamaha kit - which I think also originated from a link you posted, but its always good to have a range of kits available :) All the best Sion Sion Morris Liverpool www.sionsmusic.cinnamondesign.co.uk ------------------------------------------- On 23 Jul 2007, at 23:35, Michael Carlyle wrote:

This is a good song man. The drums have a real enough feel. For some reason, it reminds me a bit of the Lazy Cowgirls. This new kit sounds good. I agree on the nskit. I always make a duplicate of the songs programmed using the nskit and blend two versions of exported aiff files — usually with the Tama Swingstar — for "oomph". Cheers, Corey

I've experimented with that technique, too, though usually using the "Ludwig kit" (the bass drum adds particular oomph :). I haven't made a full song that way yet, though. I still have my fingers cross for a new version of Doggiebox that will let you select individual drum parts from your dbsong to output as individual DB files -- that would make it even easier to mix and match different bits of different kits. Since I have the full version of ns_kit, I've also tried this "stacked kit" technique by combining AIFFs that use both its "full kick" and its "boom kick". Sounds pretty good too, though again I've not made a full song that uses these! Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea@carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/ http://www.myspace.com/carlsefni
Why didn't I think of that - great tip! and you could do things like make a copy with only snare and bass to only beef those elements up - and also adjust the effect by changing the track volume in Garageband/ cubase.
