Wave Machine Labs Dan's House Vintage Drums Collection - Sample Library
The Dan's House Vintage Drums collection features 10 classic snare drums, 4 rack toms, 5 floor toms, and 6 bass drums. The samples were recorded with top-shelf gear and carefully mixed to give you all the detail and impact heard live in the studio. This virtual instrument collection can be used with the Drumagog Drum Replacer Plug-in also from Wave Machine Labs.Drums used in this sample collection include Gretsch, Rogers, Slingerland, Radio King, Pearl, Yamaha, Leedy, Ludwig and Eames, dating from the '20s through the '80s, including a full 1967 Ludwig Club Date kit.Vintage Neve 1272 preamps and an Apogee PSX 100 analog-to-digital converter were used in the recording signal chain, so the GOG files are true-to-life samples of these great-sounding, hard to find drums!No processing was used on the samples - no eq, reverb, compression, or gating. What you hear is just the sound of the percussion instrument recorded with great gear, allowed to decay fully and naturally.Although these virtual drums are collector's items, they don't spend their lives on the shelf. They're actively used at gigs and in the studio. (The '67 Ludwig kit was just used for tracking some of Paul Simon's stuff in 2003.) These are working instruments!The Sample Process Each drum sample was recorded with a dynamic mike at a distance of a few inches, a large diaphragm condenser mike at a distance of a few feet, and a pair of large diaphragm condenser mikes about 8' from the drum, and 10' apart to capture a stereo image. The two close-mike tracks were carefully phase-corrected, but the stereo track was left with a natural delay of about 3 ms to give a slight ambiance. The three sources were then balanced and mixed down to create the stereo samples in the collection. No processing was added in the signal chain. Each snare is represented with a total of 138 samples, covering a wide of range of sounds, from tight and muted to open and ringy, whisper quiet to hard rim shots, crossticks to brushes, and more.The snares were recorded with a close mike (Shure Beta 56), a mike at about 3' above (Neumann TLM 193), and a stereo pair (Audio Technica AT4033) about 12' apart, and 10' from the drum.The toms were recorded as the snares were, with a close mike (Shure Beta 56), a mike at about 3' above (Neumann TLM 193), and a stereo pair (AT 4033) about 12' apart, and 10' from the drum.The bass drums were recorded with the close mike (an AKG D112) just barely inside a hole in the head (or an inch or two from those heads with no holes), a mike about 3' in front of the drum (Neumann TLM 193), and the stereo pair (AT 4033) on the drummer's side of the drum to catch the snap of the beater on the drum head....details

Wave Machine Labs Supersonic Samples for Drumagog
Supersonic Samples were created using boutique preamps, compressors, and industry standard mics and range from mildly to highly processed samples so you can find the right sounds for each song. You can dial up a nicely compressed and equalized sample, or a minimally-processed sample and tweak to your heart's content.This sample library of Supersonic Samples gives you 15 snares and 68 variations. Most snares feature multiple processing levels with varying compression and EQ and up to 5 different velocity layers (8 heavy, 5 medium, 5 light, and 5 soft hits plus 3 rim shots). Several snare drums also feature cross-stick hits. Choose from every size of snare in any material, from big, deep, hammered bronze snares to piccolos to a 12" x 4-1/2" snare in maple, oak, brass, bronze, acrylic, and more. Snare samples are available with various levels of damping; choose snares with long, medium, or short decay. Also included in the Supersonic Sample Library: Snareside Swish (underside snare sound) and Crack & Swish (initial attack with swish) samples for layering. These samples are perfect for layering under a dead-sounding snare. Each has 4 velocity layers (5 heavy, 5 medium, 5 light, and 5 soft hits). When you want to keep the character of your snares, but you just can't get what you need from them, these are your ticket. Imagine adding a nice crack and a great decay to a dull snare without adding harsh noise from the hi-hat or cymbals or dealing with a gate. Blend to taste and move on.Seven Kicks with 110 different variationsAll of these kicks have multiple processing levels with varying compression, EQ, and even mic combinations. Most have an extended low end version for a larger-than-life, push-through-any-mix sound. All of the standard kicks have 2-3 different beater types (plastic, felt, and wood), giving you just the right attack for the song. Most standard kicks have several tunings for the right amount of punch and/or extended low end. Most kicks have 2 velocity levels (5 heavy and 3 medium hits). For contemporary music, hard and medium hits will cover all the bases. Some of the kick drum samples have both left- and right-foot hits for extra levels of realism for metal and heavy music in general. Some also have a blend of the snare resonance/buzz for added realism when soloed.The SS Hybrid Blender kicks are specially formulated blends of real attack sounds and synthesized and/or real drum bodies. Some are great on their own, and some are specifically for blending under your current kick, resulting in a nice attack and punchy low end while keeping your own kick's character.Three sets of toms with five variationsThese toms are beautiful, punchy, and will work with just about any kit sound. There are two 4-piece fusion-style sets (8", 10", 12", 14"), one maple, and one birch/maple blend.Each kit has 3 velocity levels (5 heavy, 4 medium, and 4 light hits)....details
