I'm looking for a good sampler to use primarily on drums. a friend of mine had the akai z8 rack and his drums sound as live as anything but I still want advice before going out and spending 1,500$. any ideas or anything new out there?

i looked at drumagog, liked it,, but it's not made for MAC!

i use logic pro 6 which uses audio units.

i'm very familiar with logic, but i'm just now seeking to find a way to trigger a drum sample with the recorded kick. does anyone know if and how this can be done?

We have been using a roland v drum set a lot as there is no room for an acoustic kit at the moment oin my present home studio (not too mention noise issues with the neighbors). the roland drum soounds are ok but we would like to expand our drum sonic palette a bit. We do have Digital Performer and mach five and can use giga and other sample formats. Any recommendations?

Howdy!
I have just completed a CD of drum samples for Drumagog. Farview Recordings Rock Drums Volume 1 contains 75 .gog files including 11 kicks, 26 toms (5 sets), and 38 snares.
I am working on getting a couple of .gogs up on the site for you to try. That should happen in the next couple of days.

Hi folks,

I'm almost done recording a demo CD for a Beatles cover in which the drums were played on a Yamaha TD-7 and further channeled through samples from Platinum Drums and Drumkit from Hell.

Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for the advice on recording programs and such earlier. I'm looking at getting Drumkit from Hell now and using a sampler with it for my drums. However, I've never used a sampler before, so I thought I'd get a demo version of one to try out and get a feel for one before buying it.

I've struck a problem...

I've hooked up my drum pads to my Alesisi D4 - works great - but the D4 internal sounds aren't so great, so...

I connected the MIDI out of the D4 to my EMU sampler hoping that I could use the drum pads via the D4 to trigger some great drum samples I've got in the EMU sampler, but.

I finally downloaded the trial version and I'm sold on it for sure. I will soon be selling my D4 and drum machines. Great mixing tool. However I have a few questions for those experienced drumagog users before I buy it.

Understanding this to be an overly broad question,what is the best method to get top quality bass and drum samples?

Is it the sampler route,the soundfont route,the drum machine route,or someting else entirely?

What are the most common hardware devices like keyboards,like kurzweill,emu etc. .What are the various pros and cons in going that route?

Know of any good free/cheap Drum Samples for drumagog. Partiuarly Kicks and Snares.
Thanks

Jason.
