I'm liking the BFD Player. Even though it says it's only one kit, each one of the presets sound completely different. I was also able to pickup two more drum kits around Black Friday (Mahogony and &0s Kits I think) for $10 each which expanded my tonal options even further. What's cool abut the SSD player is that you can find Grooves for it all over. I'm surprised though that you didn't mentions Monster Drums though. That thing is my goto whenever I need the Brush Kit or Cajon.

[@totallykoolyeah]

Perfect timing. Thank you. 🤘

[@AudioTechTV]

I hope you find some useful drums. Thank you for watching. Keep creating! 👊👍

[@needsLITHIUM]

Sean Pandy Drums is how you make all of these sound like you're not using a sample library. If you want your drums to not sound like everyone else, blend 2 or more sample libraries together. Mute the kick and snare from one, and use the kick and snare from another, etc. just don't use room mics from two different kits unless you can completely disable the drums you're not using, it will cause phase issues.

[@joolz666]

Yays! More freebie drums. 😎 I'm always looking for more grooves and different drum sounds which are easy enough for me to use. *does drum roll (out of time, of course)* I will have to check out the BFD free drum kit, especially as the "Mystery" setting seems to have been directly taken from the Pretenders "Mystery Achievement" if the sample on the webpage is anything to go by. Cheers!

[@AudioTechTV]

I hope you find some more goodies here. BFD Player has some great 80s sounds in it. I noticed a couple of presets that have a Jesus and Mary Chain vibe to them which for drums in general probably isn’t impressive but for 80s fans it’s the stuff! lol. Thank you for continuing to watch. Keep creating! 👊👍

[@SuperAgentAB]

Honerable mention: Monster Drums

[@ZaneGrayMusicMaster1]

From one Zane to another, thank you so much!

[@AudioTechTV]

Hey Zane! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Keep creating! 👊👍

[@Artur_Chernyavsky]

There is another incredible free drum kit, though for a full Kontakt, DS Drums by Red Pack Drums. It sounds amazing! And Bogren Digital has a free metal kit, though limited to a stereo kit.

[@PAL-MUSIC-1]

Got them all apart from Pop pink drums, and ML drums, but just Downloading ML Drums see how it goes... thanks Zane... 👊

[@AudioTechTV]

I really like the ML Drums sound. All of these have their place and uses some more useful then others. Thank you for continuing to watch. Keep creating! 👊👍

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

Zane, do any of these have fills to use for each groove as MT Power Drums does? That's what keeps me using MT, how easy it is to add fills throughout the song. I've been blending it with Labs Percussion for a bit of variation, but I wouldn't mind trying something else if I don't have to write all of the fills myself. Thanks for the vid! 👊🙂👍

[@needsLITHIUM]

Try muting the kick and snare on MTPDK and using the kick and snare from something like Sean Pandy Drums, instead. If you use Sean Pandy, it has a sub blower, and if you don't use it on low volume and velocity with the kick, you can use it loud and proud as a layer for 808 bass drops, if you're doing music that calls for it, like Pop Mosh, Metalcore, Deathcore, Grindcore, etc.

[@Onesolidmj_]

I don’t know how to locate it in logic after I downloaded the plugin

[@DryleechMusic]

Fistbump!

[@AudioTechTV]

Thumbs up! 👍 😀

[@hummarstraful]

Do any of these sound better than EZ Drummer? Cuz I've been using it for 4 years and I'm sick of the sound of it.

[@UtwoBed]

Are all of these able to be triggered with an electronic drum set?

[@monicabrown1139]

Yes as long as they take midi input which all of them do as far as I know

[@vekkdrums]

@@monicabrown1139 by any chance do you know how to map them? or can you direct me to a link where it teaches how to do so? i haven't found any. i want to map one of my toms to sound like a cymbal or somthg like that

[@monicabrown1139]

Hi. All except bfd will have a MIDI mapping section or it might be just the setup section or whatever. Then just use the red button beside each sound. That is the MIDI learn button. After arming the MIDI learn you just hit whatever pad you want that sound to be triggered by

[@vekkdrums]

@@monicabrown1139 omg i'm so dumb. thanks!

[@lildrummerboy80]

@@vekkdrumspop pink drums can not be used with ekit as far as I can tell. I’ve had the product but no midi mapping or hi hat cc option

[@Indepthparanormal]

but can you record with any of them on waveform free

[@AudioTechTV]

You can use any of these with Waveform Free.

[@doriyaki6654]

where is monster drum and perfect drum free version?

[@AudioTechTV]

Probably still on their websites. If you think they’re great for real drums sounds then use them.

[@UtwoBed]

Bummer, MODO Drum got flagged as infected with URL:Blacklist by AVG antivirus.

I'm older than your father. Can I assume that each of these is a tool to write complete drum patterns for songs, or is it pasting sampled patterns and fitting music to available drum rhythms? I'm an old, retired musician who hasn't recorded for decades, but friends wrote songs around available drum patterns. I wrote drums for songs that were absolutely open to interpretation by the drummer, but were original parts. I used a Roland model something drum machine to write drum parts when I last recorded back in the early/mid 90s because I'm frankly not that good of a drummer but wanted drums tailored to my music. I don't have any problem writing every drum on a time chart, if that offers a hint. I have zero experience recording on computer, which is why I'm doing this research and asking questions. Any input is appreciated. Thanks for the video.

[@AudioTechTV]

You can program all of these with midi or record using e drums or a midi keyboard. Also with all of them you can bring in pre programmed drum midi files. But you may need to edit the files a bit because they could have been recorded using a different drum plugin that might have a different mapping. A few of these actually come with drum patterns that you can easily drag into your project and will work right away. They also allow you to audition the drum grooves before you bring them in. My power drum kit is probably the most user friendly out of them all and actually comes with quite a few drum grooves that you can easily drag into your projects. Modo drums CS and BFD Player also include drum grooves that you can drag in but they allow for more customization of the sounds which could make them feel a little more complex. However if you just stick with the presets they’re still easy to use. One that isn’t free but I find to be super easy to use and sounds good to is EZDrummer 3. It’s not free but not overly expensive. I remember using an old Yamaha drum machine back in the 90s and using these plugins is way easier than those old drum machines. For me anyway. Good luck with all of this.

The MT Power is impossible to install, you have to copy files and move them manually into a file somewhere on the computer. You won’t be able to do this if you were born before the year 2000 Pop pink drums is even more hacking! These are a JOKE! I have MONEY, I don’t care if it’s free, I just want it to actually WORK!

[@AudioTechTV]

No idea how I did it then…

[@fixedguitar47]

@@AudioTechTV You download it then you have to copy files then move the files into a folder somewhere in the computer. That’s not possible for people like me.
