These FREE Mimic Pro Instruments Are AWESOME | Tama StarClassic Maple & Meinl Cymbals

[@nereurochajr.3179]

Unbelievable!!!!! Amazing!!!!

[@DM-io3qe]

Hey Luke, Just downloaded the SCM library and kits. After playing just the first 3 kits,,,, Wow! They are fantastic. I agree with you...they have a bit more character and musicality than those in the standard Pearl Mimic library. Love, the snares, toms, and the Meinl cymbals sound awesome. Thanks to you and Steve for making this available to the Mimic community. Well done. I will donate.

[@wuffb]

Well done! This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for from the Mimic Pro Community!! Will donate.

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Well done to Steve for recording a fantastic set of samples and thanks to the Mimic developers for making this possible! If you want to help support Steve, you can do so here 👉 gofund.me/fbab70ec

[@MarkuzP66]

Awesome Luke!! Big shoutout to Steve for his excellent work. I will donate too!

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Absolutely, he deserves it (despite his humble efforts not to take credit)! The Mimic team deserves props too for pulling it off too!

Thanks, Luke and Steve! I just made a contribution and dowloaded the new sounds.

[@steevidrums]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

[@DXCommanderHQ]

New owner here. Just done a complete Tama conversion - actually same kit as this! I will download and check it out. If I keep it, tell the fella I will donate.

[@steevidrums]

Hey man, I’m that fella. I really appreciate the donation. And I hope you like the sounds. As Luke said they do have a totally different character to the stock sounds. But that only adds to the pallet of tones for the user. They’re still my main kit patch. Engineers love them as they’re getting raw in processed sounds. Well, the ones that want total control over the processing do anyway. I like to add a one shot to the snare (rimshot) or a one shot or one of the SD3 kick samples for the kick for added punch. This works immensely.

[@drumsgo211]

This is AWESOME! I'll be adding them and donating also.Thanks!

[@imwatchinya]

Thanks Luke!

[@felipejotz7054]

I have just installed this library today. Just love it. It sounds different from all the stock kits. I would say it is my favorite kit today. Thank you so much for your great work, Steve.

[@steevidrums]

Hey man!! Thanks for the support. Like I said, I have no desire to make money. If I can break even, great, but more importantly, if my efforts have made the mimic more appealing to users and future users, that’s all I was hoping for.

[@graemelaw5808]

@@steevidrums no worries, just hope others donate to cover your costs at least, lot of work goes into this sort of thing no doubt. "dont just take the free download & run people" awesome stuff👍 thanks steve

[@rickbiessman6084]

You guys are doing the Lord’s work! Amazing stuff! I don’t even have a Mimic Pro, but if I were to get an electric kit, I think the Mimic Pro would have to be my module of choice (or I’d go straight software-based). Love what you’ve created here.

[@steevidrums]

Thanks for the kind words Rick. After all that’s come out with edrums of late I’m still of the opinion that the Mimic is the best module made. Sure I love the Strata Prime, the (hella expansive) DWe and the new Zildjian module looks promising but if I was buying a module again, the mimic would still be it.

[@rickbiessman6084]

@@steevidrums For sure. I haven’t looked into the Strata Prime, but what I heard from the DWe was a huge letdown for me. Sounded like an average e drum kit to me, which is to say... kinda bad tbh. But the Mimic Pro is exactly what a current drum module should be. =)

[@steevidrums]

@@rickbiessman6084 I agree. It excels at the output routing. 12 fully assignable outputs. 16 if you factor in the main outs and headphone outs too. It’s a beast and Pearl/Slate got it pretty damn spot on. With the editor your not limited to the internal sounds, save hihats that is.

[@steevidrums]

@@rickbiessman6084 DWe had some really great new tech. But yeah I’m not a fan of the sound works VST. Thankfully the user isn’t restricted to that as it can work with any VST of one’s choosing. Though it too has some nice features. Namely able to load in customs multi layered sounds. Haven’t seen anyone use that yet though. The wireless tech is impressive. Though not for everyone. I mean there’s the price tag and the fact them cymbals are loud. But still great innovation, just out of reach price wise to the Everyman.

[@rickbiessman6084]

@@steevidrums Yeah, for me the DWe is one of those first gen products where the developers really only will be able to realize their vision when they can improve upon the first version. I love the idea of the wireless tech. Although you’d never see me buying a regular DW shellset for electronic use. Who has the time to change heads and install/remove the triggers on a regular basis? :D These days, I only play drums live at church, so I don’t need a portable professional sounding kit. But if I did, I’d try to avoid having to use a laptop and interface because it’s just so much to set up in addition to a drum kit. That’s why the Mimic Pro seems such a good solution to me.

[@Pepijn_a.k.a._Akikaze]

Thank you so much for these new kits! I had to import the kits separately after importing the library but otherwise the download went smoothly.

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

I found that I usually need to restart the module for the kits to show up in the list. It's a step I forgot to mention here since I didn't talk about the full process but it's in my "library installation" video. Glad you've got them installed though 😁

[@angelorasmijn7306]

I don’t have a Mimic, but I donated. 😊

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Wow, very generous of you!

[@steevidrums]

Wow!! That's so kind of you. Thank you so much!!

[@musicbigz]

Hi. This is a great project and everything sounds awesome! I would be happy to convert these to Alesis Strike format if that is something you would be interested in offering

[@steevidrums]

Hey man, yeah I have these samples pre mixed down (little bit of overhead and a smidge of room) as stereo samples. I'll happily share them with you if you want to try them in the Strike. Would be super rad to see them on another module. They won't have the same amount of flexability as they do on the mimic (as its basically a VST in a module) but if you want them, send me a message or something. Sharing is caring!!!

[@PianoScottDeBoer]

@@steevidrums Did anything ever come of this? If not could you send me the samples I'd be happy to create the instrument definitions for the Strike Pro SE module.

[@steevidrums]

@@PianoScottDeBoer I’m not sure. I was in touch with the person that I sent the samples too. But didn’t hear the final result. I can share the samples with you. I’d have to cut them up again. I deleted the mixed down version to save space on my Dropbox. Also they didn’t sound consistent to each other, like the mix and processing changed between them. I still have the protools sessions and full multi channel audios from each instrument, if you’d want to mix and cut them up yourself. It would take a while though.

[@TheBarefootDrummer]

Those cymbals sound way better than the stock samples

[@dlt7439]

Sounds amazing

[@jwc3104]

Hey Luke, Could you show how you setup cymbals for nice cymbal swell / cymbal roll?

[@therealmarkusr]

Pretty excited to test this bundle as soon as every 1 will be back from vacation. I wonder if you have any suggestions on some great settings for HH and ride. I'll never get to the point where I'm satisfied with the response in comparison to a real hh ide, but if I listen to this clip yours seems to be pretty close. Using the ATV ones. Keep up the good work 😊

[@sammcdouall4849]

Some SCM samples have been available for 2Box Drumit modules for 8 months now and they sound very good. Great that 2Box Drumit users from present and/or past are bringing sample sharing over to the Mimic Pro library. I would love to share some samples from my Sonor birch kit (snares on, snares off, mallets, dampened with a shirt) for Mimic users. Planning to record brushes, broom & rods soon on the Sonor as well as my Paiste 2002 cymbals (stick, mallets, rods, wire brushes & broom), I just need to find enough time.

[@steevidrums]

Those SCM sounds for 2box were from me. It’s this kit! The difference being the 2box ones were mixed down to stereo. I only got to play them on a 2box module about a month or so back, yeah there’s somethings I needed to fix before sharing them. I made them from the sampling sessions for this mimic library update, but decided to make it available for 2box modules too.

[@Garagedrummer]

@@steevidrumsHey there how can I find your samples for the 2box?

[@galgogergo]

@@steevidrums Hi Steve, is there a way we could access those nice 2box samples somehow? 🙃thank you for your work, it truly sounds awesome!

[@steevidrums]

@@galgogergo sure. I don’t have them cut and mixed anymore though. I spent a long time doing some and then a hard drive they were stored on died and I lost them. But I still have the studio sessions and all drums, articulations, velocities and round robins (and mistakes!) on a Dropbox folder. If you’re prepared to do the cutting and mix for them, have at it. Or if you was after anything specific, I could do that for you. The whole kit however, was a major ordeal.

[@galgogergo]

@@steevidrums yeah, thanks. I was asking because someone might be interested in it. If you share the link, I might have a look at it, but I can't promise anything though 🫣

[@andyericson3861]

Hmm , hearing this kit might make me buy the pearl mimic pro brain again.I never loved the stock library , right now I use a TD50X and drummer Superior 3 which is a lot of gear to haul around for extra sounds and triggering for live situations. If I can get close to Drummer Superior sounds but have them in a hardware brain it makes it very tempting to buy the pearl brain just for this kit !!

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

If you get SDSE, you can also use SD3 sounds in the Mimic 👀

[@BFedie518]

I own SSD5.5 but not a Mimic. Guess I'll have to sit this one out.

[@JasonWelchMusic]

The tones at 8:22 were so real. I love unprocessed tone. Especially when used live. I deeply regret buying the 2box drumit 3. Its a pain to load things on it.

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

You wouldn't want to use that "overheads and room" only mic configuration in a live (amplified) setting, really. It would sound pretty washy and lacks the direct mic transients that help things sound clear through a PA. Ideally in a live scenario you want direct mics as dry as possible, no room channel (unless it's lacking ambience somehow, but the real room reflections usually provide that. What is it about the loading process on the 2Box modules that you find difficult? Usually it's just a case of putting the .dsnd files onto the onboard memory or SD card, depending on the model.

[@JasonWelchMusic]

@@TheeDrumWorkshop I cant figure out how to delete unwanted stock sounds to make room for tones I like. I purchased the Lustark program that Andres suggested. But when I hook it up, I don't know what to do.

[@jeffrey2199]

Mimic pro only? I pay for these if they’re available for my TD - 27.

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

The TD-27 can't load multi-layer samples like the Mimic, so they can't be used in the same way. TD-27 kits could be built out of one-shot samples of these kits in the same way that I make mine, but that would be a whole other project.

[@steevidrums]

It’s the same thing as TD27/50 kits cannot be used in the mimic. Totally different way of producing sounds, like how Mac apps cannot be (natively) used on windows.

[@spincyc34]

Understood that this would be a separate project, but you’ve got another potential paying customer here if these ever became available for the TD-27! 😊

[@daveseemerollin6357]

​@@spincyc34it's not possible 😂

[@animalglx4469]

Nice you can try them first, I surely will . If I like them, I will contribute, not much, because I'm Dutch ;-)

[@timolonnberg3205]

Thank you for your great channel, you have always very accurate content and the channel is fun to watch. I have Roland VAD503 with TD27 module (my 3rd edrum kit) but I have never used the stock kits, I play my Addictive Drums2 midi library instead (Or SSD5.5). Would you recommend the module kits for some particular reason and are they compatible with the plugins?

[@steevidrums]

These are an addition to the current mimic library. Which is an amalgamation of the various version of Steven Slate drums.

[@steevidrums]

Module vs VST in a live setting comes down to the piece of mind of the laptop not crashing during a gig. Personally I think modern machines these days are pretty solid, so it’s less of a concern as it was several years ago. That being said, I’ve had a laptop (a pretty potent MAC) with SSD5.5 loaded into MainStage crash once or twice. It’s not been a major concern as it’s a home kit. But on a gig it would be a stressful situation.

[@timolonnberg3205]

Yes for the mimic you can get those recorded sounds but the TD27 has programmed sounds. I dont usually like them unless they have somehow got better.

[@steevidrums]

@@timolonnberg3205 the TD27 is a very good module. I’m not one of those people who rubbish Roland’s sound character, I mean, there’s no shortage of people who love them and what can be done to them within the module. Also the digital triggering stuff, while expensive, is a step forward to getting an ekit to play as close to its acoustic counterparts.

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Thank you for the kind words! If you like using your VSTs and you're happy with the setup you have, there's no pressing need to swap modules as the TD-27 triggers well and runs well with software. If you want what the Mimic offers - things like preferring a hardware solution rather than software (for home use or gigs), liking the onboard sounds, wanting the ability to load your own samples to the module, liking the interface etc, then those could be good reasons for you to swap. It is still compatible with VSTs, though it doesn't have MIDI over USB like the TD-27 does, so you'd need an audio interface or at least a MIDI to USB converter. This new selection of sounds for the Mimic is great, but it probably wouldn't be the only factor in a decision. It really comes down to what you want out of a module.

[@Garagedrummer]

Did you say these sounds would be available on the 2box?

[@laptoples]

That SOUNDS great !!! How is the feel of the Mimic module compared to the digital 3 on the TD-27 ? Does it feel the same or is one better then the other ? Not the sounds, the feel of playing with sounds I guess I meant to say...lol Thanks for the video, I'm always looking around and don't have chances to try out different sets in the middle of Pennsylvania....Hehehehehehe Have a great day !!! Thanks for another awesome video !!! :-)

[@JuanJacinto]

I want a module now. First time I said this. Never liked it before

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Oh wow, that's great praise indeed for Steve's samples! You can also import other instruments that you like using the Mimic Instrument Editor that was released last year, but of course that does require having the samples and building the instruments. I'll have more available on my store that will be "plug and play" in the future too.

[@DXCommanderHQ]

PS - Ideas for video (you may have already done this) "How and why change the velocity curve on your drum module"

[@andreleite770]

Awesome sounds! Luke since the mimic editor does not allow to create hi hats, do you have any idea how Steve made it?

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Yes, as I mentioned up top the Slate team made the instruments with Steve's samples. This is why every instrument also has mic controls (editor instruments do not).

[@DrummR0812]

That’s awesome! I wish there was a way to make that on our own though. I work at a recording studio and could easily record within the same parameters that the Slate team needed Steve to record (stereo overheads and room mics). But I wish their editor software was complex enough to allow us to make these detailed kits on our own. I would love to make some kits for the “Worship/Church” e-drum community. The modern worship snare drum is so big and fat that it’s difficult to find a snare that sounds similar on the default

[@franciskwekuosei9510]

[@mikaellarsson785]

Nice Would be so great if it could be released for drumit3 and drumit5 mk2. Need help?😊

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Steve made them for the 2Box modules a while back, they're available on the 2Box forum. He didn't have a module to test and they're not performing exactly as hoped at the moment, but maybe send him a message on there and see if he'd want to try again with assistance?

[@KrenarCane]

Hi Luke. I’m having some trouble with the module in regards to recording volume. Whenever I record onto a flash drive, the output volume is very low no matter what levels I have them at. Do you know of any solutions? Thank you!

[@trefbendxxl4930]

I inserted this into the module, and it turned off, it won't turn on again... can anyone help?

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Sorry to hear about this. What exactly did you do when this happened? Was it after you inserted a USB stick? Or was it after you installed the files? Also, what exactly happens when it doesn't turn on? Do you get a white screen? I've not heard of this exact thing happening before with these files but I've heard of boot issues in the past. There is a "safe mode" that you can boot the module into which might help. I think you press the data wheel button in and hold it down while turning the power on, then release the button when you see the Pearl logo. You might be able to boot this mode and then uninstall these files from the module if that is the step that caused the problem. Apparently if you go into some of the settings (like trigger settings) they might reset to factory defaults, so maybe make sure to only go into menus that you need to go in when using this mode. If you're not already a member, try joining one of the Mimic Pro groups on Facebook and asking in there. One of the developers sometimes posts in there so they might be able to help if they see it.

[@DrummR0812]

Did they make their own hihats? I thought it wasn’t possible to make your own HiHat instrument in the Pearl mimic pro.

[@steevidrums]

within the free mimic editor, no hihats is the one thing you can't make. This are different to that anyway, the editor deals with stereo samples. This library was made by the Slate Developers in the same way the stock library is made with multi mic channels to mix and process.

No, .TCI files aren't compatible unfortunately. You can build instruments as .MCI files if you have the samples (the editor is very similar to the Trigger editor).

[@Czarol]

@@TheeDrumWorkshop Sounds good! And then I can load these .mci files directly to this module?

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

Latency of the Mimic Pro? I'm not sure what the exact figures are but as far as how the speed "feels", it's up there with the best. I don't notice it feeling any "slower" than a Roland module, really. If I compare it with VST on a laptop with a USB interface (buffer at 64 samples), it feels far more immediate than that.

[@voederbietels]

[@jadergn]

Can I load these samples on my Yamaha dtxpro?

[@TheeDrumWorkshop]

No, they're just for the Mimic which is why that's all that's mentioned in the video. They come as a Mimic library file, not individual samples.

[@steevidrums]

There's a size limit on the DTX pro (big fan of that module and Yamaha gear BTW) which was you interested in? I have these sounds premixed in stereo format, if you'd like to import them to make in to an instrument for the Yamaha module, let me know!
