Babe wake up, new bedroom djent guitarists drum sampler just dropped.

[@jordanliubenov]

The blood on the snare must be contributing to that sick tone

[@donlynch8285]

Yeah blood's specific gravity causes a low mid cut at about 300 Hz

[@adorethered]

He mentioned mick Gordon. Now I have to buy it in principle lol

[@JosebasOficial]

Agree

[@damienkphoto]

Hey quick question, could I use this in Ableton? It uses the Kontakt sampler in order to work right?

[@derekofsorrows]

@@damienkphoto Yes, it does use the free kontakt player, Ableton should work for kontakt, I've never used ableton but, I think it works on most major DAW's

[@ElioGermaniDT]

@@damienkphoto yes

[@DasShoPahRo]

You had me a Post Apocalyptic Metal 🖤💚❤️ Thank you, Nolly and Team GGD, for ALL your amazing work and making creating AWESOME music possible. Lastly, a big THANK YOU to Nolly for the in-depth walk through. Of course, I'm immediately like, "Shut up and take my rubies already," but the nerd in me loves the one new thing i get to learn with every one of these videos. Bottom Line Yall Are FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC

[@LONGname46]

Honestly I’d been hoping for a pingier snare tone from you guys so this is defo gonna be a good start for my own tone shaping, thank you!

[@GetGoodDrums]

You can always subtely boost up the ring via an eq, or perhaps even blending a one shot sample with this kit! It sounds amazing.

[@alrecks619]

use a very narrow all pass filter on the ring frequency, that might lengthen the decay without actually boosting or cutting it.

[@proddreamatnight]

Y'all are becoming my entire production template

[@JosebasOficial]

Fr, i use GGD modern metal, cali cabs, Round 1 cabs and now GGD Brutal

[@alex_thecarguy]

Just got Djinnbass 1 on sale yesterday for half off, and now today I get the email that GGD dropped this. Great time to get into recording some Mick Gordon style metal.

[@xChrundleTheGr8x]

Thank you guys so much for this! Awesome sounding kit.

[@FISHFACEmatt]

Amazing!! This is exactly the kind of sounds I’ve been waiting for from GGD. Knew you guys would smash it! So good!

[@alrecks619]

i love how broken cymbals are being used to add more edge and RAWR to the sound.

[@eyeslikeoceans]

Rawr ^___^ #makemyspacegreatagain

[@str1897]

For sure ! That broken crash sounds similar to the very dry Meinl cymbals ! I've been searchinf to replicate the sound of Luke Holland right crash in the Dark Matter playthrough for ages but coulnd't find anything

[@Nui7hari]

I like these therapy sessions with Nolly

[@ArcaneArrow]

Just installed and super excited to get into it.

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

God particle is amazing as a limiter. Been using it for a while and it changed my life. Lets you adjust low mid and highs on the master without things getting insane.

[@QuincyKane]

Sounds great!

[@str1897]

YES ! This is I wanted for my e kit ! You guys sound but with more processed tones so that I can play with a violent sounding drum kit without killing my CPU and 500 ms latency ahah

[@astralelk]

Wow this sounds soo sick

[@DerrickSchneider]

Love this! Hey Nolly, any future videos on multi out for the OKW libraries? Like adding more processing as if you were gonna use this in an actual mix? Would love to see that in the future 😊

[@ruinofspace]

Perfect 🔥🤘

[@samguaiana2027]

Finally, a mega bell ride!

[@modernguitardiary]

Wow! A best buy

[@seanmorgan9020]

You had me at old Florida Death Metal.

[@MixReady]

Joe‘s sound demo is fantastic! 🔥And so is this drum kit. Man those shells have PUNCH and the cymbals are really cutting through a dense mix with ease. Well done guys! 👏🏼

[@jackthefall6160]

Waiting for that mix ready mix!

[@Blacklight_Music]

You know ima buy your version immediately!

[@ShreddiKnight]

Hey, Nolly from GGD sauce here!

[@quocbinh6674]

Hey djentlemen!

[@ghastlyshimmer]

The demo from Isaac Hale of Knocked Loose fits so well with this kit!

[@tierankarb]

Finally get to use the mega bell \m/

[@Dan-vb7lz]

Absolute banger, but based on what you said in the video - when is the super processed one kit wonder: Mick Gordon coming?

[@combatwombatt]

Woahh woah WOAHHHH, GGD BRUTAL?? 😳😳

[@mhlengiqetsimani8522]

Now we are waiting for playthroughs from Misha and Jake🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@_thaaatguy]

Insta bought it ❤

[@svartsjokolade]

Fingers crossed for another Dave Davidson feature demo! :D

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Your beard got shorter

[@_thaaatguy]

He's got the medium cpu scaling for this video on.

[@alexandruv]

That snare 😁😁 Does that snare mean a Nu Metal pack might be coming our way due to the recent rebirth of the genre and those picollo-ish type snares? 😁😁

[@GetGoodDrums]

This library will serve nu-metal very well!

[@Rachel8260]

i need it

[@OfficialMenschenwahn]

3:17 - The shimmering life of a producer. A look, slightly apathetic. Nice :D

[@OliverPrice_OurChronicle]

Im curious as to what room this kit was sampled in?

[@mitchvechart7164]

I was just thinking I wanna find a sample library that had a similar snare to II’s kit. This gets pretty close.

[@skonaz]

Mick Gordon is all you needed to say...

[@yevgenydevine]

2000's called, they want their sounds back.

[@hexedriffsstudio]

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

[@Fishplants]

Will give it a go, Wasnt very pleased with e kit settings with the other libraries.

[@frannypance]

2:45 any chance Nolly's talking about Colin Marston of Menegroth? That guy is one the most exciting engineers/producers in metal

[@thephilboyce]

Fantastic kit! Nolly, on a serious note.. what are the chances of getting a One Kit Wonder - Sleep Token??! Because I’d buy 89 copies if I could have II’s kit! 😂

[@MannyMo_]

I’ve been saying that for awhile now too! GGD would get even more exposure and the attention they deserve!

[@Xaikar]

How do you pan things in One Kit Wonder?

[@taterfight]

Does this come with tci samples for trigger?

[@GetGoodDrums]

No - our 'non OKW' libraries do, however.

[@ElTigreGaming]

Wonder if this is good for some Kublai Khan style writing?

[@Robbie-uw2mp]

If reverb always comes through outputs 1/2, does that mean I should set up the first track on my DAW to be reverb instead of kick? My first mixing channel on my DAW has always been Kick

[@GetGoodDrums]

That's what we recommend, yes!

[@Robbie-uw2mp]

@@GetGoodDrums thanks so much!

[@Paul_Medic]

“Floridian” death metal is the best metal. 💪

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Florida representin’

[@aaaaa111aaaaa]

Can we get a bass amp sim ?

[@alrecks619]

atm Nolly et al prolly don't want to interfere with Neural DSP lmao.

[@Valisthean]

Fuck my life. I literally just bought OKW metal yesterday hahahahahaha

[@midboys]

Is the kick has left right samplea like in metal ? If yeah then how to trigger it ??

[@midboys]

The gui looks like its switching legs and kinda sounds like it too . how does it work ?

[@UndarZ]

@@midboys They're different midi notes.

[@robertpaten]

Comparison to OKW metal ?

[@laysman12345]

They do sound similar indeed, id love to see a comparison

[@GetGoodDrums]

This library is a LOT more aggressive than OKW: Metal. Why not check out some of the audio demos on our website to get a further taste!

[@alrecks619]

OKW Metal is more meant to be modern whereas Brutal is, well... you get the idea.

[@GetGoodDrums]

To elaborate.. the snare is higher and pingier, the concert toms (no bottom heads!) are unique in our range and the cymbals are more aggressive, featuring a stack (metal doesn’t have one) and megabell ride!

[@_thaaatguy]

They sound quite different from one another. I got so used to okw metal that in the beginning I kinda didn't like it but I'm sure I'll find some fun stuff to do with it.

[@OMGwtgfhgg]

"A snare sound that is super popular in metal at the moment" is an understatement. Everyone trying to rip off the II snare sound with a cranked 13" got me yawning at Download festival this year. It's such a sick sound, and I'll probably use it myself, but god is it so overdone at the moment. Feels like the new Riot!/Miz Biz snare. All to say 11/10 will buy.

[@BurningTheHeavens]

Shame it only works within Kontakt.

[@Tury1799]

cute :)

[@PitchforkStudios]

That Snare is so II

[@lakselv3768]

Do we get GGD bass amp and cab sim before GTA6?

[@ShredAheadMusic]

you pay for the kit and what you get, a broken cymbal 😉😉

[@eyeslikeoceans]

GGD Luke Holland next PLEASE.

[@alrecks619]

Matt Garstka is more likely tbqh, as Luke Holland already made his with Taylor Larson.

[@IvanJonesMusic]

We already have mixwave for that lol

[@Gregypo085]

I love the Luke Holland snare on the Mixwave plugin but it’s not dynamic enough. I’d love to see GGD do something that sounds like that kit though. Especially the snare.

[@IvanJonesMusic]

@@Gregypo085 totally respectable, I’ve yet to try out the mixwave kit!

[@usaflagraybans]

@@Gregypo085yeah, the Luke Holland one if you program it beyond about 110 or so, is basically a rimshot/ one shot.

[@odingoa]

Begin the bloodshed does sound like a really bad metal band

[@BattousaiMLT]

Am I the only one that thinks this one doesnt sound that great?

[@justinreynoldscomposer]

That's their intention for the sound. Nolly mentioned the Florida death metal scene for part of the inspiration. It's aimed at being a more raw sound, less processed like were used to hearing on modern records. But the kit can do both. He is right about it being a character kit. Ugritone has the best metal character kits that I have heard personally, sadly they just announced they're departing...Ugritone will be missed immensely

[@johnsolus4567]

I think it has its place. Its less vaguely good and just good for its place.

[@Dan-vb7lz]

​@@justinreynoldscomposer Weird that he mentioned Mick Gordon as well though, as Mick Gordons drums are the complete opposite end of the spectrum - super processed

[@justinreynoldscomposer]

@@Dan-vb7lz True, that's why I stated the kit can do both. But it allows the option of choice...it seems. I don't own any of the One Kit Wonder series, but I assume they're all polished right out of the box, I think that's why they were created (less flexible). But with this kit...it seems to allow it get more raw and less polished, they pendulum swings wider. It has a dirt channel, so it sounds trashy (which I like). This is all speculation, I haven't purchased yet, but I am basing this upon their intention from what was being said in the video. I just welcome imperfection in music is all, we need more of it

[@PsychotropicAeonian]

tbh even when they brag about these kits sounding raw, I don't really hear it come across in the demos, they all sound kinda samey and overproduced to me? I want to like it from the description, and maybe it can work in the right hands, but the fast double bass just sounds so inhumanly flat that any "rawness" goes out the window...maybe it's just the MIDI programming?

[@alrecks619]

dude if it sounds too "overproduced" for your sensibilities, GGD offer raw drum kits such as the previously eleased Periphery V kitb

[@BUY_YOUTUB_VIEWS_96]

keep pushing forward, you will get far.
