My New FAVORITE Drum Plugin! (ML Drums)

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Woohoo! I love my new drummer!

[@flprmn9448]

I love your riffs so much! Have you considered offering guitar pro tabs on Patreon? And what bands inspire your riffs? Thanks in advance, Jon!

[@NickHillMakesMusic]

I always, ALWAYS loved your Slate Drums mixes. They sounded huge and alive. This one doesn't tickle me the same way but you always have great mixes. Good to have options 💕

[@gerrydaly5409]

Always been amazed at how good your drum programming skills are

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thank you!

[@DieInnereRevolution]

I also swichted from slate drums to ml drums a few months ago. It's hands down the best sounding drum plug-in. I wish they would add more articulations though. For example dedicated rimshot for the snare. But other than that, it's a beast. It also works very well with less aggressive rock tracks and lower velocities.

[@Victinfien]

I only use Superior Drummer 3, because it has all the features and most importantly it can do a full mic export and separate the bleed from the mics so you get all the mic from each instrument like you actually recorded it and you can mix it how you please

[@poulwinther]

For me the big point is "tap to find".

[@LonelyRocker]

Great sounding drums! ML really has their sampling and modelling down...great video!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks buddy!

[@robloyst4514]

Man it’s good but I’m loving Krimh drums right now!

[@caveman]

Haha thanks for the scare. Before I hit play I was like "Oh great, he's switching to ANOTHER drum plugin RIGHT after I just bought ML Drums on Black Friday." Haha good video man. I'm trying my damndest to learn this drum programing stuff. Thanks for all these really good videos. You always do awesome work.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks, I appreciate it! ML Drums should make it very easy for ya

[@Manley156]

Really like the progression during the 'chorus'

[@rodrigosallesguitar]

So I was right... ML Drums!! 🤘Yeah, I've been using it more than SSD lately too. It's really easy to make it sound really good. SSD still has some extra articulations (like rimshots, rimclicks, etc) which I like. Do you miss them in ML Drums? But, I love how Mikko and the guys are always updating the platform and constantly bringing new expansions and features!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I don't really miss anything in ML Drums right now. I like how big the kit is

[@ChainsawChristmas]

Ok, I'm def willing to give this a shot. This sounds really good.

[@shino8820]

Really super massive tone!! I like it too!!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Cheers!

[@akaerik1]

Sounds awesome . Your demo of their luxe kit made me buy it. I liket heir humanize function better than my daw

[@musicman700]

Definitely better sounding than the previous ones

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Awesome, glad you agree!

[@jetvanderkrogt679]

Sounds great!

[@Betongtempel777]

Any chans to get a hold of that preset? Sounds enormous!

[@lattjeful]

Those new drums sounds sick! Also see that IR-X back there. How do you like it?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

It's fun! Video coming soon

[@lattjeful]

@@SonicDriveStudio Oh rad, looking forward to it!

[@dropentier377]

sound awesome, did you try superior drummer 3?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Many times but I'm never fully satisfied

[@mairuzu1]

Great sounding plugin, I’ll definitely check it out! I’m curious about the humanization features. You didn’t use too much differences in velocity when programming?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

The human function is cool! This song didn't call for a lot of dynamic but the human function helps to keep it more natural

[@axelcorvus9443]

Strange. I prefer Hertz Drums in overall sounding and production. Perhaps it's just the sound am more interested on their set especially one of the snares.

[@arctyler2245]

I also love my new drummer

[@SonicDriveStudio]

:)

[@ruanddu]

Sounds great! Can you please share what midi keyboard you use to play the drum parts? Do you have a video where you walk through how to program drums by chance? Thank you.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I use my mouse :)

[@ruanddu]

Really? Stupid question but how do you get the hi hats going on 1/8 notes, etc with a mouse? @@SonicDriveStudio

[@soundhealer8661]

it does sound really good. Did you also tried Krimh drums from Bogren digital ? A very good one too.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

I have not tried that one

[@dougb3854]

This is what I use . The anti machine gun on the kicks is awesome . Don't have to mess with velocities to make it natural

[@michaelrichardson8343]

Sounds great! Your channel has cost me too much money though. You demo something and I immediately buy it. Thanks a lot I think…😂

[@kagunmarx5914]

Sounds good

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Cheers buddy!

[@2550marshall]

They sound like EZ Drummer to me. Have you checked out IK's MODO Drums? They do an interesting thing. Supposedly modeled and not sampled.

[@heikohesse4666]

Hi - have you ever tried SuperiorDrummer3 by Toontrack? If so, why wasn't it for you? Thanks for the great video!😎

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Many times and it's very good of course, I just prefer this sampler

[@BasementGAS]

What is the human function? Do you just use a mouse to program the drums or a finger drummer midi pad?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

It makes everything sound more natural in terms of velocities and timing. I use a mouse

[@Shane-zo4mg]

Do all the drum packs share the same sampler like spd?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Everything loads into the same plugin

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

Bangin

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Thanks man!

[@tgstk2]

good luck with your thumb, get wel soon 😁😁

[@SonicDriveStudio]

Haha it was a small cut caused by our Dutch cheese slicer but I'm all good, appreciate it!

[@Dave-0]

As a drummer, my beef with non drummers having access to these sample packs is that they don’t understand drumming dynamics and just won’t utilize the dynamics built in to these multi-sampled packs. Every drum hit is at 127, that sound hits a compressor too hard, then that signal hits bus compression too hard then that signal hits mastering compression too hard. The result is loud and consistent, but so is EDM and that isn’t terribly musical. Anyway, my point is that these sample packs are incredibly capable and most bedroom metal producers are under utilizing their potential.

[@Dave-0]

And don’t sleep on MixWave! Great stuff there.

[@obedmccalip9449]

Have you use addictive drums?

[@SonicDriveStudio]

No

[@mikejamstonalspectrumstudi5339]

I wonder why you don’t have the room for a drum kit😂😂😂
