Best Budget Drums - Steven Slate vs EZ vs KitCore

Got my addiction today . Haven't had a chance to install it yet, but lookin' forward to it, as I've been running the demo for a few months now.

Elser,I'll 2nd mojo's opinion... I've bought and used the Rock ones and they have been a big boon to this guitarist-cum-drum programmer And a great value considering they supply alternate mappings for practically EVERY VSTi out there. I've been using them on my latest demo using SSD and I'll post on here soon (I hope).

Wow! Nice job, Patrick. I like the revisions in the tune also. The tempo (which, if I remember right, is a bit slower than before) is just right. I also like the way you're ending the chorus now as Matt has suggested, saving the double-tag ("you say...") until the last chorus. Excellent job.The drums sound pretty good, but, as mentioned by ib, could use a bit of brightening. The 1176 took a bit of the highs out (as does any compressor). Don't brightening it much, though. It's pretty close as is.

hey ibanez, thanks! You echoed the sentiments of Kel also regarding the drums so I'll revisit those for sure.Jonathan yeah Matt was spot on with that idea (thanks Matt!) and you're right, I did slow it down. I used "Stop and Stare" as my loose production template on this one. I didn't think about the 1176 dulling the drums so good point!Blue ha ha nice play on my lyric! I certainly hope you're right but I think the reworking on this one has proven successful thus far and hoping I can take it that extra bit. Back to the lab!
