Hi Mike,

Thanks so much. Glad you like the samples. I don't have an instrument made specifically for the hi hats only. I sampled a whole drum set and have an instrument for that, which of course includes the hi hats. But it was done in the EXS mk l ; so there are no crossfades or any fancy routing.

Hi Eli,

Did you happen to make some pedal hat samples while you were sampling that kit?

I have used your hat samples in a few tunes and liked them but I often
write patterns which use the pedal sound.

Regards,
Murray

OK, man!! Cheers!mn

Yes, I did.

I'd be happy to upload the whole kit of samples. The reason I have hesitated until now is that I mic'd the snare in stereo (experimentally) and it didn't really work out too well; to my tastes anyway. It's kind of "too stereo" and there's some phase cancellation when triggered in mono.

I multisampled the snares, kik, and toms at four velocity levels as well as a nice short crash, a 22' Sabian ride (with the bell),  and a sizzle cymbal (with rivets in it). It's hard to find samples of the latter.

Garth, can I upload the kit to your EXS page along with the vibes samples? If so, please remind me again of exactly where to upload it to.

The entire kit of samples is about 20 megs. The snare samples will probably work fine if you instantiate it in mono and compensate for the phase cancellation with some corrective EQ.
