December Samples Drum Pack
This is a small sample pack that I put together, and it includes TCI files for Slate Trigger as well as the audio samples. I tried some different heads and some slightly different mic'ing positions from what I've normally done in the past. The samples are slightly processed, but I didn't want to do too much. I've included a link below to a clip I've posted on SoundCloud if you'd like to preview the sounds first.
Something else I did differently is that I've included my parallel compression for all of the drums. So you'll find a Trigger instance for the parallel compression for everything.
Kick:
The kick is my 22" x 16" Starclassic Birch/Bubinga, and it has a clear EQ4 by Evans on the batter. Lately, I've been using coated or frosted heads on my kick. So I decided to change things up. The kick has 7 round robins and 3 velocities.
Toms:
I tried a new set of heads sent to me by Evans called the UV2. I wanted to give them a shot on a bunch of upcoming session work I have. I'm really pleased with how they sound. I sampled my 10" rack tom, my 12" rack tom, my 14" floor tom, and my 16" floor tom. All of the toms have 7 round robins and 4 velocities.
Snare:
The snare is my 14" x 6.5" Starclassic Maple in Light Jade Burst. It's been a while since I've used this snare for anything, and I'm glad I broke it out of storage to use on everything coming up. It sounds absolutely amazing, and I love the combination of an Evans Heavyweight on a maple drum. The snare has 7 round robins and 5 velocities, the loudest velocity being a rim shot.
Please visit the link below for a short preview of what these samples sound like. The cymbals in the clip are from EZ Drummer, but all of the drums and overheads/rooms for the drums are from my sample pack.

Thanks for your support. I hope these samples help you in your musical endeavors.
