One Kit Wonder: Nu Metal - Product Walkthrough

[@yeserguitar]

After all the GGD kits I have and countless demos and songs I released, I feel like I got everything I need until you guys come up with another banger of perfectly mixed kit!!! It makes my life sooo easier and I'm so grateful for the OKW series and GGD products. Sounds amazing!

[@GetGoodDrums]

Apreciate the love! Hope you love the kit!!

[@yeserguitar]

Thanks to Joe for highlighting all the kit pieces, every single detail in the video editing is appreciated!

[@GetGoodDrums]

Particularly proud of that little detail! - Joe

i just searched nu metal drums digital to see if there's any kit nowdays and this literally got out an hour ago. Talk about a lucky day.

[@tylercrews9025]

You're really blue ballin me here man I really wanted to hear that cranked snare. I feel like that should be the main selling point for the kit considering it's the only thing (imo) that separates this release from the rest of the OKW lineup. That low tuned loathe style snare is still beautiful but plz just lemme hear the other one in like a dumb slam breakdown or sum I want it so bad.

[@Dave-0]

Can’t wait to hear full EPs and albums produced using 127 velocity exclusively.

[@GIANTENEMYB1RD]

this is THE sound i've been waiting for from you guys.

[@GIANTENEMYB1RD]

on sale for $45 right now? that's a steal. JUST GOT IT

[@MixReady]

Such a great sounding kit! Once again - thank you for these incredible tools GGD!! ❤

[@ClintSouderMusic]

Patiently waiting for a Mix Ready okw nu metal template cough cough I use Reaper 😎

[@northtimo666]

Ok, we need a nu metal template in the style of Korn, Deftones etc. NOW.

[@JakeHYM]

Yeah Mr mix ready ima need a demo from you asap. You’re Underrated as fuck

[@goobertime360]

Thank you for all the hard work you folks do! I've been using your products for several years now and they're just fantastic all around.

[@GetGoodDrums]

Our pleasure!

[@danthemanmillan]

This sounds amazing! First OKW I wish was a full library!

[@andresmartinez2258]

Bought OKW Metal the day it came out, and haven’t looked back since, but I might feel like this might be the next step in the drum journey. Very amazing kit by all appearances. Great work guys!

[@stockmanager]

Sounds amazing but there should be more articulation options - flams for snare, rim shot, snare wire off, rim edges on all shells, bells for all crashes. The previous GGD releases actually had many of these.

[@Slamthulhu]

How are you gonna make a nu-metal kit and not make the cranked snare a focal point, that's like THE most important part about nu metal drums

[@northtimo666]

Yeah missing that key feature

[@lukebogartmix]

He literally explains this in the first 90 seconds that it’s the “modern nu metal”, like Spiritbox and other bands

[@northtimo666]

@ He does but kinda misleading in a sense because they’re not generally regarded as nu metal.

[@Slamthulhu]

​@@lukebogartmix So they're just massively out of touch with what Nu Metal is then. When the vast majority of people think of Nu Metal drums they think of 90's drum sounds of bands like Deftones, 311, Slipknot, Korn etc. not whatever Spiritbox does

[@northtimo666]

@@Slamthulhuindeed. Spiritbox can be definitely counted as nu metal influenced band but overall their style is closer to Architects and the metalcore/djent scene than nu metal.

[@Huskybythegeek]

I've been a OKW Aggressive Rock user for years. I think I'll switch to Nu Metal, it sounds so good.

[@TC_Ty_Thurmond]

Never hit “buy” faster in my life. This is my 10th GGD product and can’t wait to test this one out!

[@freddygazali]

you just saved christmas

[@human9564]

Damn, thats my jam! Any tips on importing the midi grooves in the daw? while played in the sampler, they sound very realistic , velocity wise. as soon i drag the grooves in the daw, the volocitys are maxed out, loosing the realism while played within the sampler.

[@matthewmessner1105]

There should be an option to flip the snares around. That side snare is very early 00s Nu Metal

[@aric_unhinged]

He didn't say he was really excited, is something wrong with Nolly?

[@peptok]

Instant purchase

[@troyclemens]

Library is so sick! I want to lead with saying this an incredible accomplishment. As for the push back on the Nu Metal vs. Nu Metal “Resurgence” (which I’m not pressing y’all about), may I suggest making a OKW: Ocean Grove with Sam Bassal? Their record ODDWORLD is the pinnacle of this aesthetic. A guaranteed distinguishing feature could be allowing for the two snares to be interchangeable in their positioning to achieve a traditional and contemporary sounding kit for the genre. Great work from the GGD team as always nonetheless! I’ve got no shortage of ideas, where do I send my résumé? This one is on me 😆🤘🏼

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

This is perfect for my spiritbox cover album

[@SelkeMusic]

I don’t imagine Nolly has ever “freaked out” or lost his shit about anything and his BP must be like 70/50

[@snapascrew]

Imagine he’s actually a monster in real life 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MetalheadOv666]

Wish this came out right before BF sales 😂 I picked up Brutal then and now have to get this for sure!

[@c0dypeng]

This sounds like OKW architects 2.0 or OKW modern metal to me hahahaha, the snare is very modern-metal-ish, or Zakk Cervini-ish

[@GetGoodDrums]

This library is very much inspired by the new wave of Nu Metal inspired bands coming through at the moment!

[@mentatification]

Ikr! I expected a lot more deftones/slipknot kinda high tuned snare.

[@northtimo666]

It does. Feels like a missed opportunity. Other than that the kit does sound good, but not screaming nu metal.

[@Slamthulhu]

@@northtimo666 Yeah this ain't it. It's also even more frustrating that they added a high tuned snare but then panned it to the side so you can't use it as a main snare. When you think of nu-metal drums you don't think of a fat modern snare, you think cranked 90's goodness with lots of ring

[@northtimo666]

@@Slamthulhu Nailed it man. I hope they could add that higher pitched snare there as well. I mean Spiritbox definitely has nu metal influence, but it’s not the first band that comes in mind when thinking of nu metal.

[@TheSturling]

I'm going to get this. What all do I need exactly besides this drum kit download?

[@MetalheadOv666]

Kontakt player 8 to load it up in and a DAW to record

[@DudesCover]

do you accept paypal payment?

[@alexandruv]

ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUSSSSS???? OK OK GGD I WANT TO MARRY YOU GUYS! I am setting up the dates I don't care haha!! Amazing as always!!

[@shinokugt]

Would you recommend this kit or another one in your library for a Sleep Token style drum sound?

[@HexaneLake]

The side snare is giving big Mein vibes..

[@xE4syCoreX]

We need a M&M V2 with Side Snare :)

[@josuastangl7140]

Absolutely love M&M! Would be interesting to see how Nolly would approach a more generalized big modern rock library now after 7 years. Maybe the fact that it was used on some very big releases tells them that it doesn’t need improving and it probably still sells well.

[@iamtorrego]

Are these libraries also a mess to deal with if you are using an edrum? I've been too spoiled with Superior easy plug and play setup.

[@dylanjastle]

I’d appreciate a video from nolly that walks through the drum mapping setting with a modern Roland drum kit. I have a TD27KV2 with the fancy digital hi-hats. I cannot for the life of me get the hi hat articulations to trigger like they are supposed to. Steven slate drums and Room Sound plugins take full advantage of my e-kit with correct hi-hat articulation and minimal hassle. The OKW’s are in theory awesome for e-kit jamming and songwriting. They are just harder to get the hi hat to work. It’s keeping me from purchasing more

[@DarkItachi1]

I don´t know why but the way the drums are hit Sounds like mike malyan I dont know why

[@GetGoodDrums]

This kit was actually sampled by Nolly! ... maybe he's been practising 🤔

[@DarkItachi1]

@GetGoodDrums nollys hits have become great. What an Improvement since the Creative live Masterclass

[@Fishplants]

Does it have Roland mapping ? That's the problem I've had with the other packs.

[@lava_ava]

I just adjust the midi note output of my Roland e kit

[@GetGoodDrums]

It doesn't have a preset but we have a tutorial on our youtube showing you how to easily map an e-kit to your library!

[@Fishplants]

​@@GetGoodDrumsYes I've tried that but there is always a hassle with velocities and volume, As long as there is no good support for e-kits I cannot buy. Always end up tweaking stuff instead of playing, And don't get me started on the hi-hat. Ezdrummer and bogrens drum plugins there is no struggle, Just choose the mapping and okay.

[@chazzhill-hayr9201]

The Toms are amazing! Snare is a little low and thuddy for my preference. But still really nice.

[@itLEAKED]

GGD - Token Kit

[@fer004.]

Was expecting the snare to sound more ringy like "Thrown", but I guess can achieve that with some tweak. Naming it Nu metal never thought of Spiritbox tbh, but the kit overall sounds very good, just was expecting something different

[@maximedebeaupuis432]

My dream would be a Sleep Token's II drum library

[@bobbyincidemetal]

Sweet!!!

[@zooby11isbambam]

Thanks Michae- I mean Nolly 😂

[@tonykay6020]

A Nu Metal Groove Pack would be a wonderful component to this…please

[@GetGoodDrums]

Watch this space..

[@alexandruv]

I've read a lot of the comments on here and I see a lot of people being somewhat on the fence regarding the snare. First off I don't think anyone is wrong here. Nolly explained in the beginning that this is more of a "Modern Nu Metal" sound. If you guys listen to the new Linkin Park album or some of Korn's more modern albums, the snare is not that cranked piccolo we all associate with the 90's early 2000's nu metal era. Naming the library "Modern Nu Metal" or "Nu Metalcore" would had probably made more sense, but again Nolly explained everything in the beginning. He never said this will get you that Abe Around the Fur or Life is Peachy sound. If I was to add something to this library and make everyone happy, would have been to include 3 tuning for the snare. Low - Medium and then high cranked - but again this is a OKW library, not a full fledged GGD one. Don't be surprised if this might turn into something bigger in the future due to high demand and also this OKW has the best quality thus far - then maybe everyone will be happy! Love you GGD

[@tuco1307]

Does this have individual sound files that could be used in other vst’s like ezDrummer3?

[@GetGoodDrums]

No - our libraries are made for Kontakt and Kontakt Player.

[@hauntedhotdog]

Welp.... now I have to buy anither drum library. This sound really, really nice.

[@nahimshas]

Is there a way to crash the ride?

[@GetGoodDrums]
