Gandy Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 any of the pros have a favourite? Im leaning toward NI's ABBEY ROAD | MODERN DRUMMER (http://www.native-instruments.com/en/pr ... n-drummer/), have been really happy with Massive so im thinking they are probably on point with their drum VST?as a follow on from my beginner post, the very basic/standard drum vst's i have been using are a little lacking, i dont mind saving up a bit of coin to drop some cash on a decent drum plugin that i wont need to replaceonce again, cheers!also hardware wise, should i be looking at adding a drum pad? i can fire up fl studio mobile as it has some basic drum pad functionality but its not very flexible, again, what do you pros use?

ChevChelios Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I just use Ableton's drum rack, has everything I need. Something close to that would be NI's battery.What are you after functionality wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 i dont need it to be anything over the top at the moment, i dont have any percussion experience, just the ones that come with FL studio are pretty basic.probably just after a kit that has all the drum set would have in real life, maybe bundled with some samples/loops etc for idea's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 izotope's idrum. comes with preset kits and of course you can save your own. easy to use which makes it pretty quick to throw some patterns together. this is the only drum vst i've used. Other than that I use abletons built in sounds. check this...http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/the ... day-410653 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREMM1S Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ive always used actual samples for my percussion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ive always used actual samples for my percussion?I'm more into writing my own that way I can do what I want creativeness wise, also more flexibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxfiend Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ive always used actual samples for my percussion?I'm more into writing my own that way I can do what I want creativeness wise, also more flexibilityI think he means actual samples of each drum ie snare, kick etcthis is what i do tooHave never tried a drum vst, although my NI Maschine does come with quite a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overit Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 NI battery always worked for me.Although since ableton suite I use drum rack more.Either works on a matrix arrangement visually so you can see all your sounds/samples and set individual envelopes etc then assign any pad or midi control to trigger that sample.I dont do much since I had to sell my MPC2000 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
