This kit sounds lovely. Picked up a lot of great ideas watching. Very informative.

So so so appreciate the not overly-processed source samples, especially in presenting. I’ve wasted so much time peeling back “mix-ready” libraries just to find something usable but not great.

We’re so so glad to hear that! It was one of our main goals when we first started talking about creating this company. Give you a great kit, well tuned, well recorded, in a simple intuitive UI. If you have a minute to read the about section on our sire it will give you a little more backstory on why we’re making the effort to produce these sample kits: lasessiondrummer.com/pages/about Thanks for the comment!

Loving this video, I have these same drums since the 80's in the same finish. They are fantastic for sure. Thank you for sharing! I have 8, 10, 12, 13 and 16 inch toms and a 16 x 22 kick.

[@lasessiondrummer]

Glad you enjoyed it! Very cool you have the 8 and 10 toms, they must sound killer.

That 80’s bell brass snare is absolutely killer! It really captures the essence of that classic sound. I’m curious-are the samples multi-velocity? And are those Robbins as well? The attention to detail here is next-level, and it’s so refreshing to see such authentic gear in action packed into a sample instrument. Love it!

[@lasessiondrummer]

We think the 80s bell brass in this sample kit is pretty rockin’ too! Yes, all instruments and articulations have multiple velocities and round robins. You can even turn the snares off in the UI. For the eKit drummers it’s a pretty convincing experience playing in real time.

Great video! Would like to know the VKick settings

[@lasessiondrummer]

Thanks for your comment! If you're asking about electronic drum compatibility, we’ve got you covered. Our UI features a mapping page with about 50 presets for electronic drum kits, and you can also create your own custom mapping for any electronic drum set or MIDI controller. For more details, check out the walk-through videos on our website, especially the one on custom MIDI mapping-it covers everything you need to know.

@@lasessiondrummer No I meant the Se Electronics Vkick, the mic has settings on the back and I wonder what settings u guys used.

[@lasessiondrummer]

@@gaetanclybouw oh, gotcha, I just checked with Zak and he said this: Both switchable options set to “classic”
