Beefy Room Tuned High Rod

Reviews

• Top Shelf

  This is an obnoxiously good sounding sample pack. If you're careful about programming, it sounds legitimately natural. There's an outstanding variety of articulations, particularly in the hats and snare, two things I see most sample packs kind of breeze through. The only part of the kit that's notably lacking is the kick, which in comparison to the sampling depth of the other pieces is sort of one dimensional. Them's small potatoes though.

  Aside from the mapping oddity that many other reviews have noted, my only other (extremely minor) critique is that the room tone can be a little overwhelming. However comma, that really is part of its charm. This kit is a cannon, and it's very satisfying to hear the shell impact.

  Thanks for putting this out for free Larry, it's fantastic.

• Nice samples and realism

  The sound of these samples are pretty nice and the room ambience definitely adds character. The little rolls and things are awesome too, I always love when these are included. I agree with everyone that the mapping is weird but this isn't really a big deal for me. I rarely ever finger drum in whole beats i like to usually add layers one by one. So although it might not be as easy to find the sounds relative to where they might be in other libraries, its not too much of an issue for me

• Beta testing needed...

  This and the other drumset library by Larry would highly benefit from some better keymapping. Even knowing my way around a kit after having played for 6+ years, this library leaves me searching long and hard for sounds that I know should be there. Other than that it's a really cool library with some nice sound.
