GGD: PV Matt Halpern Signature Pack | Demo

GGD (GetGood Drums) just released their "PV Matt Halpern Signature Pack" and I picked it up out of curiosity. Ended up accidentally writing this demo song. Oops.
This pack is a beast, but it may not be for everyone - Let me give you my thoughts!
In this mix, I used the completely raw samples and mixed them myself - I felt like there were too many demos with the turbo function used and some minor master processing, so I thought I'd give a different perspective.
The snare in this library is insane. It will definitely be my go-to snare from now on. In this mix I used the "mid" tuning on it, compressed to hell and back together with the awesome room samples.
The kick is great as well - In this mix, I actually blend both the kicks in this library, with a higher blend of the default kick, with some of the "clickier" kick blended in. I tried to get a really modern sound out of it, and it takes processing really well, while still sounding organic.
Toms are great also - I think maybe I still prefer the Modern & Massive toms, but I maybe just need to spend more time with this library. I miss a second rack tom though, by default - A second rack tom is still included in the pack, and in this mix I use two Kontakt instances to expand the kit a bit. But I dunno, the interval in the tunings between the toms just doesn't feel 100% right when using both the high and low rack tom and doing fills with it. I think the idea is more that you use either one, and maybe not both of them in tandem.
Cymbals - Great, but the drier cymbals isn't my personal taste - Just personal preference. For whoever likes the sound of these cymbals, they are recorded great. The china is great though, will probably be my go-to china from now on. Really like the stack and splash as well. Would prefer some "wetter" crash cymbals though. Oh well!

[@maxalaintwo3578]

very natural sounding. Clean cymbals, lots of dynamics, and maybe the best toms GGD ever made

[@geordihills]

Best GGD kit

[@Intake2365]

Sick bruv!

[@arielcardoso2848]

that is defenitly a banger, this drum kit is really good and sound like Matt too. Now can you tell me why did you stop those procedually generated djent lives? Those were so full of bangers bro

[@MikeOrkid]

Fuhk yessss!

[@jamashayne6174]

What DAW do you use ? my drums are coming in super low in ableton

[@monkeycheesebutt4033]

Hey bro sick demo! Ive been thinking about getting this guitar too . what tuning do you have it in and how does it holdup?

[@user-zh7lx8oh2w]

Hey there. I love your work on the procedural generator you are working on and wanted to ask how the project is going. Also, is there a way you could share the code? I am also working on a procedural song generator, but it should work on a much wider scale.

Morse code metal

[@mybiggrin]

The most metal thing about this video is that you don't have to dress metal to BE SO metal.

[@josephbrant9827]

Due to there only being 3 toms, i will not be buying this.

If you can’t afford it then just say that
