Drum Kits

[charlie_d]

Hey, Im using FL6 wondering what kind of drum kits u guys use to record drumbeats.

if you're registered, go to www.flstudio.com and they have some free kits you can download at the site.

Another idea, i just bought a disc off of ebay, which costs me all of 6 bucks and it has over 10,000 wavs on it and it's more than what i'd ever need.

I meant to ask about drum pads or machines, that u hit with sticks, looking to spend around 100 dollars or maybe a lil more depending how Bad Ass it is

Well, I'm a drummer so I make my own samples with my kit. Definitly check out electronic kits, I don't know how good they're gonna sound for around a hundred bucks, but you never know.

I think that making custom samples is the way to go , another thing I did was search through Ebay and pawn shops for super cheap drums, cymbals, and other percussion instruments and sample all of those.

Also, experiment with micing up things around your house, I've made some cool samples just hitting wood blocks together or pots pans, birds outside-uses your imagination. T

This will expand your sound textures greatly and give you unique sounds that no one else will have.

ah thanks for the tip about the sampling. im trying to get the hang of that right now. could do alot if i had a synthesizer that i load samples onto. Still need help figuring out what electric drumkit to get or drumpad.

I want to know how can I control multiple drums on one bus or channel because I use alot of drums to fill out my beats but I like some softer and some deeper but to mesh as on drops another picks up but not sound choppy like 1,2
