Hugh Padgham's Hitmaker SDX - The Making Of

[@danepaulstewart8464]

OH GENTLEMEN!… This is my favorite producer and engineer of the time, these are my favorite drummers of the time, and these were my favorite albums of the time. NOTHING could be closer to Drum Heaven for me. So THANK YOU. Thank you…

[@AudioReplica2023]

Garbage😂

[@danepaulstewart8464]

@@AudioReplica2023 YES! I forgot about GARBAGE! Butch Vig totally gets killer drum sounds too. They were the natural next step after these drums. Right on, dude!

[@godsofentropy]

Bought it a few days ago. This masterpiece has already a place in my future recordings. It's character and soul is just so enormous, so inspiring. I like a lot of SDX packs, but this one is so SPECIAL - if you want to sound huge, pop and try to mix your skills with the best sound in the world from 80s music era - it's irreplacable. There is no other library like this on the market. And I really like that we get two libraries in it - acoustic and lovely recorded and processed electronic drums.

[@toontrack]

Thanks for the kind words Michał!

[@davidholloway3011]

Finally...I've been waiting for a Stewart Copeland kit for years. Thank you Toontrack.

[@willudallmusic]

that snare 😍

[@BJKG5b]

Yes, i was waiting for this too. Thanks Toontrack. Have fun David and Will.

[@Illiyinmusic]

the only reason i want this.. im sure i can get close with the expansions i have, and have gorans reggae kit, but i realllly want this, but idk if its worth it for that one kit. ill never use the collins kit

[@GlenKirkhamMusic]

Oh man, I thought Rooms of Hansa was the one.... Then I thought Decades was the one.... Then the Legacy of Rock became the one.. But no.... This, right here, is THE ONE.... The actual real life One... I instantly got my credit card out the second I heard that Copeland snare....Jeez, that 'Snap' is fabulous. Thank You Toontrack for keep coming up with these amazing SDX's.... You keep making em, I'll keep buyin em 👍😎

[@lemmoneye]

Brilliant! I was lucky enough to work with Hugh as he produced my old band. Lovely chap.

[@hyoziisora]

In The Air Tonight!!! My all-time favorite drums sound!!👍

[@ParadNorthProd]

The console used for the Phil Collins "in the air tonight" sound (the Helios from the Townhouse) is right up the road from me now. ShoreFire Studios.

[@toontrack]

Awesome! Thats were we recorded "The Classic EZX"

[@ClayColey-k3u]

It blows my mind how much goes into the making of these expansion packs. Great job fellas!!! Its always above and beyond with Toontrack

[@juanfelipeacuna1023]

Toontrack always leading the way! I've always said this and I'll say it again. Toontrack has the best drum libraries for any genre out there.

[@bkf22002]

This is absolutely on of the best SDX along with Death for edrummers. It's a must have. Thanks TT for making this. As an Edrummer I'm loving it!

[@brandon1351]

It's great that Hugh is still working and telling stories of olden days

[@gusirricl]

The DEFINITIVE gated reverb library, incredible! 👏

[@alexanderstuartpetty485]

This is my favorite SDX yet!

[@cinemaformer1474]

The Studer 800 24track machine... Stunning work...

[@ThalDravv]

Extraordinary achievement from all involved in this TT library.

[@PumaPhreak1]

Wow! These are amazing samples.

[@keithdunwoody1302]

God I want this sdx so badly. Gonna save up. Love Hugh's work and I love SD3. I want Manu Katche in my tunes!

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

As soon as they said Manu and Peter Gabriel, I was sold! Secret World Live was the cd that got me started into drumming and my love for Yamaha Drums. Same goes for Phill/Chester with Genesis and The Way We Walk and the Sonor sound. 10:06 Baby dont you loose my number!

[@OmegaStationMusic]

Another impressive product by Toontrack

[@ollid.5590]

Incredible! Of course, I don‘t wanna sound like Phil Collins BUT it will be great to use these superb gated drum sounds now for so many ideas that I haven‘t been able to proceed yet. Toontrack always surprises me!

[@echodub81]

Damn, you guys impress me everytime you create a new SDX or EZX. This one here is a masterpiece! Awesome job, now i just have to wait for the download to finish!

[@universalfraeser]

Absolut amazing ❤ Absolutely great. Whatever Roland conjures up in the future with the technology of dwdrums. It will never come close to what toontrack puts their heart and soul into. I love the sound and the feeling when I play my e-drums live on the stage with the samples from toontrack.

[@galgogergo]

How do you go into the console, when playing live? Do you use some kind of soundcard/interface connected to the computer with at least 4/8 outputs? (Which one?) Do you use a laptop btw? Or I've heard some solution to use an Intel NUC without a display, put Superior to autorun (i.e. start automatically when Windows has booted), and get a virtual Dante licence and go to the console's Dante input through the Ethernet socket of the NUC. So in the end it's like a Windows Mac Mini with the output being the Ethernet port, through the Dante Virtual network, going straight into the console's Dante input. What do YOU use? :)

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

Oh yes. That's what I feel. A few kind words and old tellings from the famous engineers, some nice words from Norman and baaaaamm. I am there. Perhaps, it's their marketing department but I believe that. I mean... The artwort, the Making Of ... I buy that all !!!

[@universalfraeser]

@@galgogergo Hello my friend, sorry for the late reply. Yes, I am using a MacBook Pro that I have connected to my TD 30 via USB. In the Toontrack software I have selected the TD 30 as the audio device. This works wonderfully. I don't notice any delay. I haven't used Windows software for ten years. In audio, the Mac is actually the standard and I will probably never go back to Windows. I play a custom-made edrum set from diamondelectronicdrums in England. Been playing live with it for ten years and it has never let me down. If you have any questions, just contact me. I'm happy to share my knowledge.

[@JohnnysMusicGarage59]

[@eranddroory9987]

Sounds amazing. Brings me back to my teen years listening to all these great artists. :-)

[@tihinter]

wow, I was waiting for anything Hugh would share about his biggest hits and how they were recorded, for a long time. And now this! Wonderful! I could watch and learn from him for days! Hope he will be conducting workshops or produce more video clips about those great sounds in the future. And I hope he will continue to bring us new and fresh sounds, too!

Omg this might be what I’m after, damn those demos sound good

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

Awwww, right from the moment Hugh talks about having used these old consoles.... It was so damn clear for me, that I have to grab this SDX. Really. Just for me, beeing able to say: "Listen guys, these a samples recorded through the "Beatles" console!" I love those stories. Also the Ball and Biscuit mic story. AND I am 42, so I am a kid of the 80s. I am a physicst ... and doing radiation therapy right now, but I really should have done some audio engineering kind of things. Ha! And Norman? This guy is so lucky, working with all the creme de la creme engineers. This must be sooo cool! Thank you for that Making Of!

[@analogkid4557]

After going to the website and listening to some of the samples, the Yamaha Tour Custom samples sound exactly like my Stage Custom from the late 90's when I record them. I use different mics but the sound is exact!

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

Because the wood layup is the same. Birch/Luan (Philipine Mahogany) and the SC has some Falkata added too

They will usually release a ezx sample pack that is a derivative of the SDX.

Sounds fabulous. Would love to be able to use this with EZD3, because frankly.... SD3 is wasted on me. Like an SSL console, or a UV8, I dont do enough to enough depth to justify it. Maybe one day. But the drums sound bloody fabulous.

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

Awww... wait. Don't you think there will be an 80s EZX like the EBX one? Hmmm....

[@stevem-h3562]

@@eDrumsInANutshell I dunno Manuel. Hope so. EZD3 is still in its early days yet and while I have that, I am barely scratching the surface of what that platform is capable of. SD2, I had, but hardly use. Brilliant as it is, as a non technical writer and producer, I just find the ezd family more intuitive which I guess is exactly what it was designed to be. 😁

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

@@stevem-h3562 Yeaheee, I used EZD2 with Plogue Bidule for the MIDI remapping. And then I wanted it more comfortable and the velocity curves and Positional Sensing on the snare. And I grabbed SD3. With EZDrummer3 I think I hadn't bought SD3. You got the remapping and the velocities and Pos Sense, too? Awesome.

Lol one more device to isolate people from each other... in the old days we had to go find a real drummer and to do that you had to play good, so it forced you to get better fast...

[@2000stephenellis]

So... in short.. if you want to sound like the records of the 80`s .then this is the library for you ! .. i mean c`mon , how many records do you hear on the radio that use these kinda sounds anymore ?.. that Genesis / Phil Collins gated drum sound (that everyone keeps on harping on about 40 years later ? )... absolutely NONE is your answer my friends .. things have moved on since then . maybe if this was being produced like 40 years ago it would be relevant , but not now , i get it that people will simply LOVE this , but they won`t have any success whatsoever using it , it`s old hat , it`s time has been and gone , like 40 years ago , move on !... someone famous once said "Nostalgia is a thing of the past" ..never more has this been more truer..
